Never had Ben & Jerry's ice cream. The nearest shop is in neighbouring Ontario. Darn those snotty Ontarians. (Usivius excepted, of course...)

You can buy it in the grocery store here.
The one and only time I got a free B&J's cone on Free Cone Day, I was appalled at the number of teenage-type kids who kept getting back into line for another free cone.
B&J's kept on serving them, too. I guess they figure it's worth it for the goodwill they generate, but jeez.

Our B&J's has volunteer scoopers from various charities throughout the day. Any tips given for the charity's hour worked are donated 100% to the charity. It is just a totally awesome experience...

I have no idea if local grocery stores have it. I guess if they do, then I could buy it, plus some cones, and have my own cone day. And pretend that it was "free." (Yeah, right.)
