31-Cent Scoop Night at Baskin-Robbins, 4/30 from 5p-10p - Page 2

Bump. This is today!

If you need a good excuse to go out for ice cream, this might be for you ...

Baskin-Robbins is holding a 31 Cent Scoop Night on Wednesday, April 30, 2008 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. to help honor America’s firefighters. Participating stores will reduce prices of small ice cream scoops to 31 cents.

2.5 oz scoops are 31 cents plus tax where applicable. Limit 10 scoops per person, per purchase.

A donation of $100,000 will be made by Baskin-Robbins to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. At select local stores throughout the country, you may also have a chance to donate to your local fire station.

The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation remembers America’s fallen heroes and assists their families. The organization provides firefighters with training to prevent deaths in the line of duty and offers the public information to prevent fires in our communities.

Baskin-Robbins is proud to support this worthy cause. To learn more about the foundation, visit www.firehero.org

10 scoops for $3.10 - now we're talking!

Kevy Baby · 04-30-2008, 11:04 AM

I want all 10 scoops on one cone!

I think the pay-for-charity thing is better than the free thing.

innerSpaceman · 04-30-2008, 11:07 AM

Yep, I like the pay-for-charity angle. Just not happy with the limted hours.

Of course, I have no idea where a Baskin Robbins is. They seem to be a dying breed. I was amazed when I passed one by the other day. (and yeah, I have no idea where that was.)

Morrigoon · 04-30-2008, 11:13 AM

There are a few around me - mostly combined with Togo's, but there's one independent one really close by.

The previously known as "free scoop night" has always been between 5pm and 10pm. It has always been the "junior size" scoop. And it used to be 1 per person. So all they did is now charge 31 cents and donate $$ to charity and up the limit to 10 per person. Hours are the same, scoop size is the same.

There are 180 Baskin Robbins' locations located within a 30 mile radius of downtown Los Angeles. You can find your closest one here.

I agree with you on this, because I'd totally take advantage of it this afternoon before school lets out, but I have no desire to wait an hour in line with loads of kids this evening just for cheap ice cream. I'd rather save the time and calories by just donating $5 directly to the charity.

I wonder if they have a little drop box at the counter to do just that?

Alex · 04-30-2008, 11:32 AM

Yeah, I'd rather pay $10 and not stand in line than pay $0 and spend anything more than 5 minutes in line.

But it is possible I place too much value on my time.
