Get endless free ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s on April 10 during Free Cone Day

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!

20 Restaurants that offer student discounts every college kid needs to know about

It’s the end of the semester for millions of college students across America, which means one thing — meal plans are running out. But the good news is that there are tons of restaurants offering killer deals for college kids.

And remember that other restaurants may have student discounts too, so wherever you’re eating, don’t be shy — just ask! The worst they’ll say is ‘no.’ Here are a few deals we found: *Discounts vary by location. Be sure to call ahead or check with your local restaurant to find out if they participate. 1.

The ice cream chain will hand out one free small vanilla soft-serve cone per person while supplies last. DQ has more than 4,400 U.S. locations. Mall locations will not be participating.
