    Can't download through rapidshare, it says I have to sign up to the premium package in order to download, which costs.

    Also go into any of the cinemas today that have a Ben & Jerry's scoop shop & get a cone absolutely free today only. :)

    I know it's available in the 3 UCI cinemas (Blanch, Coolock & Tallaght), Vue in Liffey Valley & some others.

    Where can you get the 150ml tubs, do Spar/Londis/Xtravision do them?

    It looks like it's only in the Ben & Jerry Scoop Shops.

    Is that just about the free scoops?? Maybe the vouchers for the tubs are different?:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,987 ✭✭✭✭zAbbo


    I was referring to the 'shorty' 150ml tubs which are in the PDF

    Its just cinemas here - noticed the signs up in omniplex santry last night.

    The scoop shop is behind where you have to show your ticket to get in, so to get free ice cream you'll have to be going to the cinema.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,691 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    sweet.......hopefully centra has some:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    where did this voucher come from?
    It must be special / able to use in other shops, as it's for the 150ml shorty tub.
    You don't even need a voucher for free scoops in the other stores AFAIK.
    Please report back if yer successful!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,987 ✭✭✭✭zAbbo


    Probably from here - http://entertainment.ie/benandjerrys/

    It's in today's free papers as well.

    Um, hello? Did you?

    'If you can't make it to the cinema, you can also download a voucher for a free 'shortie' here.'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 617 ✭✭✭bkrangle


    tried the voucher in centra on westland row but they wouldn't accept it, said they'd heard nothing about it despite it being in today's papers.

    Ah well, if anyone knows of a shop in dublin city accepting them please let me know :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Gauge


    Ditto for Cork! Though I can't recall which shops sell the little tubs...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,846 ✭✭✭✭eth0_


    Ah i'd be excited about this if it weren't for the fact we have fridges full of the stuff for free in work all the time :P

    Where do you work and can I have a job?:D

    CV will arrive shortly....;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 842 ✭✭✭dereko1969


    muppets in centra on nassau street wouldn't accept it either, manager was on phone and just nodded no to counter girl, mad queue so couldn't wait to speak to manager. aaargh!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,457 ✭✭✭Cactus Col


    From the ben and jerry website it looks like cineworld aren't participating in free cone day either ...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,987 ✭✭✭✭zAbbo


    Can someone do a job run to one of the cinemas and get me any mint-choc type flavour.

    Seriously, at least one of you is bound to be unemployed, with nothing else to do.

    Save a thought for those of us in the cube farm with no ice cream.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,297 ✭✭✭Ron DMC


    Right, I've printed off me voucher and I'm gonna knock into town after work.

    Someone go and find out what shop is gonna give me a tub.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,987 ✭✭✭✭zAbbo


    Ok, just off the phone to a nice B+J lady, and she said the 150ml vouchers should be redeemable in any store which stocks the tubs, but it is up to the stores themselves if they'll accept them.

    So we know so far that Centra have lucked out in two different stores.

    Someone try the likes of Xtravision / Spar / Londis

    That was pretty good ice cream, had to listen to some rotten hippy rhetoric about fairtrade though.

    I don't think Cineword have a B&J Scoop Shop IIRC


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,826 ✭✭✭phill106


    tried it in local centra here in limerick, worked no problem. they hadnt heard of it, but once they read it, and showed it to a manager they accepted it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,493 ✭✭✭mcaul


    Should be no problem for any stores - nearly all promotional vouchers are redeemed by PHS, so retailers just lump all coke / ben jerry / uncle sams, ragu etc etc vouchers into one envelope every month or so and cheque for full retail price is sent out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,594 ✭✭✭jaykay74


    Anyone try cinema in Dundrum yet ?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,113 ✭✭✭cailinoBAC


    I tried it in Spar on Baggot St. No luck. Anybody had any luck in any Dublin city centre shops? I'm dying to have one now!

    +1 It's the perfect afternoon for ice-cream. Might try the spar here in ballsbridge but I don't know if they even have the tubs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91 ✭✭cj2007


    i got it in the cinema in dundrum at lunch time

    They do! They just won't participate. I guess it's a franchise type of shop and Cineworld are begrudgers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 186 ✭✭Snapper1


    Me and GF got one each in Spar in Grand Canal Dock earlier, manager didn't look to pleased tho....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,987 ✭✭✭✭zAbbo


    Tried Xtravision & Dunnes in Rathmines, neither had 150ml tubs, but Dunnes were doing the big 500ml tubs for half price (about 3.50)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 529 ✭✭✭Elliee


    got one in movies@ swords today... the guy loaded the ice cream into a tub for me..
    handed it to my daughter and he proceeded to fill one up for me!!

    oh grrr, which spar? the one on Upper Baggot Street near Xtra-Vision by any chance? That's the one i was going to try....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,535 ✭✭✭Raekwon


    Centra & Spar on Baggot Street both refused the voucher :mad:

    What are sh*te promotion.........they should rename it "hand in a useless piece of paper and make a tit out of yourself day" :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,987 ✭✭✭✭zAbbo


    Haha, seems to be the gist of things, unless you're at one of the Cinemas or IFSC.
