Well, good news: Ask and you shall receive. Today is not just any day — today, April 12, is the official Ben & Jerry’s Free Ice Cream Cone Day for 2016. It is a day when, from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m., one may receive a free scoop of any kind of ice cream flavor they want at participating Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops.
A day in which, hey, if you don’t mind lines, you can just keep getting free scoops forever. Or until 8 p.m. Whichever comes first. But the point is that there’s no ice cream scoop cap.
