blog-every-day-this-week week: b&j free cone day
Taking a cue from 2muchexposition, I will be blogging every day this week. Nothing big, nothing profound, just a series of short entries to see if I can do it. With the amount of test and assignment marking I have to do over the next couple of weeks, this will indeed be a challenge. Tune in daily to see if I can keep it up, or if I royally fall on my face!
Ben & Jerry's ice cream is damn delicious, but also damn expensive. Janet and I have it only rarely because of this fact, and so it ends up being a real treat, something special. Dublin Mudslide, Chunky Monkey, yum. So yeah, I'm sitting here drooling on my keyboard while thinking about it, and sighing wistfully.
But ah! Tomorrow is Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day!
Every year, B&J parlors give away free ice cream on one special day, and tomorrow is it! This year is the 30th anniversary of the very first Free Cone Day. Dude, giving away free ice cream for 30 years, that's pretty awesome.
You know what else is awesome? They don't use milk or cream treated with recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH); their vanilla, chocolate, and coffee ice cream is made with cocoa powder, coffee and vanilla extracts that are Fair Trade Certified; for nine years they used the Eco-Pint, the unbleached paperboard pint container used to package their ice cream; and they've collaborated with the World Wildlife Fund and explorer Marc Cornelissen to open the Climate Change College.
Nice.
