Clear your calendar and prepare your stomach. The 10th of April is less than a week away. So what happens on this wondrous Tuesday? Why, it’s Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day, of course.

If you’re not familiar with how the annual ice cream holiday works, you’re in for a real treat — or as many treats as you would like, to be exact. That’s because unlike other freebie giveaways, Ben & Jerry’s let you try out any flavor for free in a cone or a cup, then get right back in line and get another free cone or cup.

If you want to make the most of this lactose-loving opportunity, grab a friend and make a day of it, and you can try each of Ben & Jerry’s 35 flavors for free from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. — as long as you get in line of course, and no cuts!

Ben & Jerry’s has been offering Free Scoop Day at their Scoop Shops nationwide since 1979, as a way to say ‘thank you’ to its customers. The message is still the same, but the ice cream flavor offerings have grown. No longer just vanilla and chocolate to choose from, you can go with Cherry Garcia, Half Baked or every Ben & Jerry’s fan’s favorite — Phish Food.

And there are dozens of other flavors. This is a great opportunity for anyone not familiar with B&J’s family of flavors to try out a bunch without committing to a whole pint. Or you can take this fun quiz Ben & Jerry’s put together to help you decide what flavor matches your personality.
