Free cone day at Ben and Jerry's - today 4/21
 

Now you know.

Good to know where to avoid in case I get a hankering for ice cream.

I can't see spending an hour in line for a $2 scoop of ice cream*

Exactly- I'm going to Cold Stone tonight.

I know, the NERVE of them, giving out free ice cream.

I've been meaning to try the new marzipan at B&J. There's one sort of on the way to my drawing class this evening, I might as well swing by and hope for a short line. If so I'll be sure to think of you guys while enjoying my free ice cream.

I'll admit that one might get lucky and get a short to non-existent line. But every time this kind of thing gets posted, one inevitably hears about hour long waits.

I always look at the value of my time and to me anything more than about a 5-10 minute wait just isn't worth it to me (for a free scoop of ice cream). But I don't begrudge anyone else for whom the wait is aceptable.

Of course, I didn't hear about this in time ... I had a hankering for ice cream and was two seconds away from the nearest B&J. Last time I went, a couple of years ago, they had the operation so down pat that a wait for a free cone was less than that for a paid one on a "normal" day of business.



Now, if I were two seconds away from my nearest BJ and missed a free one, I'd be pissed. :p

You still paying for those?

The rub is that it's only a free cone... no ice cream included...

GD tweeted that his wait was only 5 min.

I decided against making the drive during my dinner break. Between driving to the mall, mall parking and mall walking it's more of a pain to me than it's worth.

But I'm still jealous of his 5 min wait for free ice cream.

I wish I had a free ice cream right now!
