The only thing better than a scoop of ice cream is a free scoop of ice cream!

On April 9, 2013 participating Ben & Jerry’s shops around the globe will be giving patrons a scoop of their tasty ice cream, for free!

It all began back in 1979 when Ben & Jerry’s celebrated their first year of business and wanted a friendly way to thank their patrons. What better way to say 'thank you' than with a free ice cream cone?

Now, their Free Cone Day tradition has expanded to a variety of global locations, including selected scoop shops the Netherlands.

This annual offer is a fun chance to sample something new like Greek frozen yoghurt or indulge in a scoop of your favourite flavour.

On April 9, head over to one of their participating locations and pick up your free cone!
