Did You Get a Free Ice Cream Cone?

Ben and Jerry's ice cream shops gave away free flavors. There's one near you, at the Northridge Fashion Center.

Today (Tuesday) is Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day, a chance to enjoy your favorite funky flavors without spending a penny. And, yes, there's one near you!

From noon to 8 p.m., Ben and Jerry's ice cream shops will be giving away free ice cream cones. The scoop shop at the Northridge Fashion Center, 9301 Tampa Ave., Northridge, is the nearest location to Chatsworth.

The annual promotion started in 1979 and has provided small cones for free every year since as a way to thank customers for their support. While the cones are free (limit one per customer), the ice cream giveaway often collects donations benefiting a number of charities.

Yum. Let us know what flavor you try in the comments section.
