TODAY IS FREE CONE DAY AT BEN & JERRY'S!

Fans across the globe are cold to play their part in helping the company meet its 1 million scoops goal

BURLINGTON, Vt., April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — That’s right, it’s finally here! For ice cream fans around the world, today is anything but a normal Tuesday – it’s the day that Ben & Jerry’s honors its annual tradition of giving out free scoops to all. Jump in line as many times as you’d like – no, seriously! Get a scoop of your go-to flavor, try a new favorite (or two). You don’t have to choose – that’s the beauty of Free Cone Day. Ben & Jerry’s needs fans to be extra committed this year as it looks to give out at least 1 million scoops, a company record. It’s the ice cream maker’s way of saying a huge thank you to its loyal fans.

Ben & Jerry’s Flavor Gurus have been hard at work to serve up your next favorite scoop. This year, the company added a bunch of new, delicious flavors for ice cream aficionados to try. Curious about Non-Dairy options? Give the company’s new, creamy oat base formula a whirl – now in classics like Non-Dairy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and also recently debuted Non-Dairy Strawberry Cheezecake (the graham cracker swirl is *chef’s kiss*).

Maybe you’re looking for a sweet and salty moment – Ben & Jerry’s’ new Impretzively Fudged flavor is perfect to satisfy snacky cravings. And, peanut butter fans rejoice – the new PB S’more flavor is guaranteed to hit the spot.

Or perhaps you’re on the hunt for something refreshing to ring in spring – hello, warm weather is back! Try the brand-new Scoop Shop exclusive flavor, Mango, which is a fresh take on a smooth, nostalgic treat, with swirling mango ice cream and sweet cream ice cream. It’s happiness in a cone. Longtime fans know that indulgent flavors are the ice cream maker’s jam, but this simple combo was too good to pass up!

If you don’t know the story behind Free Cone Day, here are the footnotes – 1979, first Vermont winter, fledgling ice cream shop, a Ben and a Jerry. The company’s cofounders knew it wasn’t possible without the fans, so Free Cone Day was born as an annual day of gratitude – and 45 years later, Ben & Jerry’s is still going strong, serving up chunky, funky flavors all across the U.S. and 35 countries globally.
