The 2017 Pint Slice Tour

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and free ice cream called.  I knew that the Ben & Jerry's Pint Slice Tour was here in Boston and they were scheduled to give away the goods at the Greenway till 5pm.

My walk to the Greenway Open Market on State Street led me to hit and surpass 10,000 steps, which for me is quite a feat!  There was a line, but it didn't look bad at all.

When my turn came, I spun the virtual wheel and was awarded their Americone Dream Pint Slice - Vanilla Ice Cream Bar with Caramel Swirls & Fudge Covered Waffle Cone Pieces, Covered in a Dark Chocolate Coating with Waffle Cone Pieces.

Just what I wanted!  And it was good, and a nice treat!  Basically a petite round Klondike Bar with tasty add ins.

They are scheduled to be in Chicago this upcoming weekend.  And if you reside in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, or Miami, they'll be headed your way too!  Just check their website for more information.

Free Cone Day 2017!

With April comes the much anticipated annual Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day!

This year, with it also came April Showers.

The shop at Boston Park Plaza shuttered last year, so the most feasible location was the store on Newbury Street.  I figured that perhaps the rain would keep the crowds away, and decided that a run was in order during my lunch break.

Still, I was lucky.  I scored my free scoop after but a 4 minute wait, and when I headed out, there was a line perhaps 25 people deep leading to the entrance.

Noon - 8pm, the first Tuesday in April

Thanks Ben & Jerry's!

Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day!

With April came... just wait for this... FREE CONE DAY! Yes, Ben & Jerry's annual freebie treat in celebration of their anniversary that always seems to fall on a lucky Tuesday in the month of April.

This year, I decided to try a new flavor - Late Night Snack: Inspired by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon – Fair Trade Vanilla Bean Ice Cream with a Salty Caramel Swirl & Fudge Covered Potato Chip Clusters (the fudge uses Fair Trade cocoa, too!). It was tasty, but perhaps a touch too salty. Oh well, it was free!
