Today’s weather has us craving a scoop of ice cream and lucky for us the sunshine is expected to carry on through some of the week! Coincidentally, Mother Nature has decided to bring the heat just in time for Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day.

If you’re concerned about the line, Ben & Jerry’s has suggested the best ways to pass the time while you wait. They recommend you talk to strangers also waiting, do the ice cream shuffle, start a Ben & Jerry’s flavor quiz, among other ideas until before you know it, it’s your turn for free ice cream!
