Its Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerrys: How to get your free scoop [Video]

(WPHL) – I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream — especially when it’s free.

Ben & Jerry’s is celebrating its annual “Free Cone Day” on April 16, with hopes to give out over 1 million scoops at shops across the globe.

Ben & Jerry’s celebrated its first-ever Free Cone Day in 1979, at its then-only shop in Burlington, Vermont. The tradition remained when Ben & Jerry’s expanded throughout the state and beyond, though the date had changed several times. In 2015, the company estimated that over 1,000,000 scoops had been distributed annually on Free Cone Day — a record it hopes to continue.

“We’re asking our fans to really bring it this year: invite their friends, family, and neighbors, and help us beat our goal of 1 million scoops on Free Cone Day 2024,” Dave Stever, Ben & Jerry’s CEO, said of the 2024 event.
