For those of you who don’t already know- today is free cone day at Ben and Jerry’s. Today from noon to 8pm. Yeah, I just finished mine- chocolate and peanut butter swirl. 🙂 ---

Thanks for the heads-up! My boss and I just took a little ice cream break. It would have been more enjoyable if it were warmer out, but, hey – free ice cream! 🙂 ---

No Ben and Jerry’s in my area! :mad: Just as well, I’m trying to lose weight. 🙂 ---

I went; there’s one near my office. I got chocolate therapy, largely because I remember having Dublin mudslide and Phish food recently. ---

Got my chocolate fudge brownie. And I only had to stand in line for 45 minutes. ---

Damn! We only have Ben and Jerry’s cartons in certain Western-oriented supermarkets. We do have Swensen’s Baskin-Robbins and Haagen Dazs shops, so you’d thing Ben and Jerry could set one up here, too. ---

I dropped by the one closest to my home on my way back from work, and the line was around the block! I like B&J and all, but not if I have to wait 1/2-hour in line for it. ---

I think I missed whatever huge lines there might’ve been yesterday, as I had no wait whatsoever. I think I had some sort of sugar-free fudge chip thing. It was still pretty good.
