3. Ben And Jerry's Free Ice Cream Day
April 29, 2003

Join us noon - 8:00.

It all began in 1978 in a dilapidated former gas station in Burlington, Vermont. Ben & Jerry renovated it themselves with a lot of help from their friends. The first year was a wild one. On the shop’s first year anniversary, in May of 1979, Ben & Jerry held the first Free Cone Day. They scooped free ice cream, all day, to everyone who stopped by. It was their way of celebrating having survived their first year in business as much as it was their way of thanking their customers for eating all the stuff they made that year.

Location: US Stores
Deadline: April 29, 2003 (12-8)

WooHoo!!

I'm consciously avoiding the "Chex Morning Mix" with their "better before" date (as opposed to "best before" or "sell by") and adding to my research clippings file.

One subtitle in yesterday's paper struck me: "Iraqi Challenged US Authority" (on the front-page story entitled "Self-Styled Mayor of Baghdad Detained")

How dare the Iraqis challenge US authority!
