Who loves free stuff? Everyone. Who loves Ben & Jerry's? People who can eat dairy. Who loves Ben & Jerry's now that I've informed them they have dairy-free options? People who can't eat dairy. Now... Who loves free Ben & Jerry's? Australians.
It's that time of year again, Ben & Jerry's annual Free Cone Day. A time where Aussies take an extended lunch break to go to their nearest Ben & Jerry's store and grab a free sweet treat on 9 April.
Last year, the hard working Ben & Jerry's teams shovelled out 108,620 scoops across Australia, a record that is sure to be beat again this year.
With a plethora of flavours to choose from, fans are going to be spoilt for options. There is everything from crowd favourites such as Phish Food, Non-Dairy and light ice cream options including Mocha Fudge Brownie.
The Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day originated in America in 1979 as a way of thanking consumers for their support. The tradition still continues strong as CEO Matthew McCarthy says, “We’re nothing without our fans.”
To get involved in Free Cone Day celebrations, pop into your closest Scoop Store at the following locations between 12-8pm on 9 April.
