Free Cone Day started way back in 1979, when co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield had (just barely) survived their first year of running a business. They decided to thank their local Vermont community for supporting them by giving out free scoops of their euphoric concoctions. Today that community stretches across the globe; more than one million scoops will be lovingly given away worldwide on April 4. Fans will be able to choose a classic flavor or try something completely new.
"We believe in having fun, and in thanking our fans with free ice cream for our anniversary every year," said Ben & Jerry's CEO Jostein Solheim. "Through the power of ice cream, we are able to form strong connections and create positive social change together. Free Cone Day is one way to show our fans how much we appreciate them."
