    This Tuesday is Ben & Jerry's 28th annual free cone day. Where they, in the style of all successful drug pushers, aim to get you hooked for free so you'll keep coming back.

    Unfortunately there isn't a store in ROI, but to those in UK and NI should check it out. Apparently you can keep coming back for more all day.:D

    It would have to be free all year round to get me to buy it for the full price even once.

    €6.50 or something in that region is what they sell those little tubs for. €6.50! Mind you, they have progressive employment and management policies, so I like that bit.

    Oh, and their fish food is damn good.

    lol

    i've never had ben&jerry's ice cream. this is despite my girlfriend's unhealthy addiction, and my past workplace being xtra-vision (so we had a big fridge full of the stuff)

    You need to experience the greatnesss that is the Ben & Jerry ice cream!

    Chocolate chip cookie dough is so so good with flake on top! My fav though is half baked with the dough & choc brownie (that is extra good). Only once have I been disappointed with Ben & Jerrys ... I got choc chip cookie dough with no cookie dough gobs in it, it was so upsetting! :(

    They called up to DCU last wednesday... the 6 tubs i got made me pretty sick, then the Summer Ball topped that off.

    Still have all those €1 off vouchers they had attached to leaflets...

    Better than being some fat f*ck that spends 22 quid a litre on frozen organic dairy produce.

    Welcome back btw.
