Would You Scream for Free Ice Cream?

July 22, 2014

As the saying goes, “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!”  This comes from lyrics from a 1925 song by the Waring’s Pennsylvanians, an American band.  With July being National Ice Cream month, you don’t even need to scream to get ice cream and in some cases, a cold scoop could even be free! If you are in Portland or New York City, be on the lookout for the Ben & Jerry’s CoreTour scoop truck this week, which is traveling the East and West coasts this summer giving away samples of their core flavors. 

If you are a Bruster’s Real Ice Cream fan, take a selfie while eating their ice cream or having fun at a Bruster’s location. Then text “BrustersSelfie” along with your picture to 343434 by 11:59 P.M. EST on July 25th, 2014 to win free ice cream for a year if you are one of the 4 winners.   You can see the full rules at http://www.brusters.com/selfie/ .

It doesn’t need to be July to enjoy an ice cream treat though.  Several creameries offer free ice cream on your birthday if you join their birthday club, including Carvel, Baskin-Robbins, and my all-time favorite Friendly’s.  Best of all, there is no maximum age for many of these deals so even if you are just a kid at heart, you can join the club.
