Ben & Jerry’s is god-tier when it comes to ice cream. And, to the joy of dessert lovers everywhere, these legends are giving away complimentary scoops with the return of Free Cone Day. Last year, they gave away a massive 180,000 scoops in Australia and New Zealand. This time, they’re hoping to beat that record, which means you should definitely visit multiple times and sample all of their delicious flavours. Free Cone Day will take place on Tuesday April 16, between 12pm and 8pm.
Free Cone Day by Ben & Jerry’s
This delicious tradition first began in 1979, when cofounders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield survived their first winter as a small ice cream business. Free Cone Day was a way to thank fans for their support and give back to the community.
“It was nothing short of amazing to see our fans back in our shops in their full Free Cone Day Glory,” said Dave Stever, Ben & Jerry’s CEO. “We gave out over 970,000 scoops across the globe, but we know together with our fans we can break 1 million scoops.”
Line up as many times as you like for bottomless ice cream. Opt for your favourite flavour, or try something different.
