History of Free Cone Day
Ben & Jerry’s first launched Free Cone Day in 1979 in Vermont. By 1993, every Ben & Jerry’s scoop shop in the U.S. was giving out free ice cream on the same day, and by 2000 the event went global. These days, Free Cone Day is a massive phenomenon every spring, and people count down the days every year so as not to miss out. Last year, Ben & Jerry’s gave out over 1 million scoops of free ice cream around the world.
While delicious ice cream has always been the name of the game, Ben & Jerry’s is a Certified B Corp known for much more. The company’s commitment to social justice comes through in its legacy of activism, from putting millions of dollars toward grassroots causes to protecting the environment.
