Ben & Jerry’s Announces ‘Free Ice Cream Cone Day’ On Instagram With The Most Delicious Photo

The Instagram account of Ben & Jerry’s posted a beautiful photo of a chocolate ice cream scoop on a cone 30 minutes ago, about 3:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday, March 17, the day that the minds of some folks are thinking of drinking green beer or eating all sorts of other delicious fare on St. Patrick’s Day. With the photo, Ben & Jerry’s whetted the appetites of folks with a sweet tooth, in anticipation of their “Free Cone Day,” which is nearly one month away, landing on April 14.

According to the Ben & Jerry’s website , their day of giving away free ice cream will last from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. on April 14, and they provide a helpful “Scoop Shop” search engine that allows users to input their zip codes in order to find the closest ice cream shops nearby them and plan their cheat days accordingly. The site also explains more about why the ice cream seller decided to give away ice cream for eight hours to consumers on that specific day.

According to New England News , the Vermont-based Ben & Jerry’s continued its conscientious corporate profile recently by converting an $80,000 Tesla into a luxury car that could serve ice cream in a manner that’s good for the environment. The ice cream maker has long been a favorite of fans who appreciate the company’s promise not to use genetically modified ingredients such as growth hormones and the like in their products.

From time to time, certain eateries will offer their customers free food days, such as when IHOP recently had a free pancake day , as reported by the Inquisitr . Not only is giving away free foodstuff a measure of goodwill, but it can be a lucrative business practice as well, at least for those restaurants that discover their sales increase as a result of customers buying extra accoutrements to go along with their free items — such as milk and coffee to accompany their pancakes, or extra ice cream to go with their free cones.
