FREE Cone Day :: Ben and Jerry’s

Tuesday, April 29 :: 12pm - 8pm

I shared this with you last year, and I will share it with you again this year…and every year that we keep in touch for crying out loud. What a great way to celebrate the starting of Ben and Jerry’s adventure into the ice cream business. Most places have sales to celebrate special events, but Ben and Jerry’s does it right with FREE Cone Day. The best part of this (for those who want lots of ice cream) is that you can eat as much as you want. At my first stop and Jen’s only stop last year, we saw a high school student working on his third round…of trying ALL of the flavors. You read that correctly…this guy had eaten a cone of every flavor twice, and he was now working on round three of EVERY flavor. You just have to go to the back of the line after each scoop.

On April 29, find the nearest scoop shop and celebrate with Ben, Jerry, and the throngs of fans who appreciate the best corporate [albeit green friendly corporate] ice cream. I hope to find a Ben and Jerry’s close to downtown Atlanta…where will you be enjoying your FREE cone?

A Melodious Fabric of Society

Jen and I were outside a few days ago when we were suddenly taken back to yesteryear by a melody we heard from a few blocks away. We were so shocked at what our ears were telling us that we looked at each other to make sure we on our own were not going crazy.

The sweet, melodious music we heard was from none other than The Ice Cream Man. You got it…the ol’ white truck with pictures and prices of his goods on the outside and quality frozen treats on the inside. It was almost 80 over the weekend in Portland, so The Ice Cream Man was making his rounds and blaring the unmistakable tunes. I can taste a Rocket Pop right now.

While this is the first Ice Cream Man sighting this year, this is not the first time we have seen and heard The Ice Cream Man in Portland. However, every time we see and hear him, Jen states that this is another one of the great aspects of Portland that helps us realize we live in a pretty cool city. Additionally, it is unfortunate that what was once an integral part of life, our childhood, and the American summer is now a shocking occurrence.

The Ice Cream man is a pretty neat guy peddling top-notch product.
