Free Cone Day Fun Facts
· Ben & Jerry’s co-founders, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, started the company’s Free Cone Day tradition in 1979, a year into the original store’s existence, to celebrate that the business had survived a long and cold Vermont winter and to thank fans for their ongoing support.
· Last year, Scoop Shops gave out more than 970,000 million scoops globally. This year, Ben & Jerry’s is aiming to break that record and reach 1 million scoops.
· Ben & Jerry’s doesn’t limit fans to just one free cone – you can get in line and wait as many times as you’d like. In fact, the Burlington, VT Scoop Shop has a regular who plans for Free Cone Day every year, taking the day off work, and has reportedly visited upwards of 14 times in one day.
