Hooray! Ben & Jerry’s free cone day is back for its 30th year!

Intrigued? Free cone day is an annual tradition of this beloved ice cream maker. Around this time of the year, Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops around the world would give away free ice cream scoops all day.

This year, free cone day falls on April 29. Mark down your calendars with smiley faces! The day also coincides with the 30th birthday of this American brand of ice cream.

Here are the details on where you can get your free yummy scoops!

Event: Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day
Date: April 29, 2008
Time: 12 — 7pm

Participating outlets:

The Cathay
Raffles City Shopping Centre
United Square
White Sands
VivoCity
Jurong BirdPark
Singapore Zoo

Oh, what would I give for a scoop of their sticky, chocolaty chocolate chip cookie dough goodness? Be prepared to queue for your free ice cream though. One tip: go there while the kids are still in school!

Every free cone day, the socially-minded ice cream maker gives away more than one million ice cream scoops worldwide. That’s more than one million happy people! Charitable organisations would probably be around to raise funds. So while enjoying your free treats, do also give generously!

Umm, yum!
Ben and Jerry came to Japan a few years ago, I got their ice cream in Family Mart (convenience store) but then after a few months it was gone and never reappeared.
And, there are no Ben & Jerry’s stores that I can find.
I think it must be too sweet for Japanese.
I am surprised to see so many outlets in Singapore. Lucky you guys!!
Dean & Deluca is doing well here. Family mart sells their ice cream too. The other night I got Balsamic Vinegar and Fig ice cream. Pretty funky stuff!

You’re probably right. Each tub of Ben & Jerry’s is so calorific, it might be too sinful for the health-conscious (though it’s also probably the creamiest and most delightful ice cream out there!).
I’m wondering if we have Dean & Deluca in Singapore? Would look out for it. Thanks for sharing!

pikapi: I second that!
walter: Haha walter :) I wouldn’t be able to make it too. Sprained my ankle! Can’t beat the crowd in this state.
sylv: Looks like they aren’t participating this time round. The one at The Cathay is the next nearest location.

Thanks! Would check that out!
And I know exactly what you mean about Japan. I felt the exact same way as you right after I came back from my 11-day trip last year! I suffered such a hangover!
