Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day is back
Ice cream lovers can once again snag a free ice cream cone at Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops across the state. Free Cone Day, the Vermont-based company’s annual way of saying thank you to its customers, is happening worldwide on Tuesday.
There’s no limit to how many free cones people can receive, according to a Ben & Jerry’s statement.
“Our customers are incredibly loyal and share our values on important issues like marriage equality, climate change, and racial justice,” said Ben & Jerry’s CEO Jostein Solheim in a statement. “Through the power of ice cream, we are able to form strong connections and create positive social change together. Free Cone Day is one way we show our fans how much we appreciate them.”
The inaugural Free Cone Day took place in 1979.
For the first time this year, moviegoers at Showcase Cinemas can also get a free cone at select Ben & Jerry’s counters inside theaters in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, and New Jersey. Local participating theaters include Dedham, Foxborough, Lowell, Millbury, Randolph, Revere, Worcester, and Warwick Mall in Rhode Island. As an extra special treat, Free Cone Day falls on a Tuesday, the day of the week on which Showcase Cinemas offers discounted admission.
