If you’re like any other during this rough economy, you’re probably looking for anything free. Well, this Tuesday, March 23, you’re in luck.

Welcome to Free Cone Day at Ben and Jerry’s.

Co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield first scooped up free ice cream all day back in 1979 as a way to thank the community for supporting them in their first year.

Now it’s an annual tradition at many of their scoop shops around the world. It’s your chance to try any of their flavors for free!
