Häagen-Dazs is celebrating its annual Free Cone Day on Tuesday, May 8.
Take the whole family to your local Häagen-Dazs shop for a free kiddie-size ice cream in a cup, sugar cone or cake cone.
If you’re lucky, maybe your server will let you get my favorite order: a sugar cone, upside down in a cup. Because who wants to wade through all that ice cream to get to the crunchy cone?
You’ll get one scoop per guest, and you must be in line between 4 and 8 p.m. local time.
Celebrate Free Cone Day… for the Bees???
During this year’s Free Cone Day, Häagen-Dazs wants to bring attention to honeybees.
What do bees have to do with ice cream?
Many of the chain’s fruit flavors — and even some classics like vanilla and rocky road — depend on bee pollination. The vanishing bee population could make it more difficult to grow the crops your favorite ice-cream varieties need.
The Häagen-Dazs Loves Honey Bees initiative donates money to bee conservation research and education. In 2016, it installed a permanent honeybee habitat at the farm that supplies almonds to Häagen-Dazs.
So while the company wants you to “create some buzz” on Free Cone Day, all you have to do is eat ice cream and appreciate honeybees. It’ll foot the bill toward saving threatened pollinators.
Not a Fan of Free Ice Cream?
We’re not convinced you exist, but just in case…
Want to skip the line? Pay for your ice cream!
Any guests who want to purchase items can bypass the line of people waiting for free scoops. So don’t be dismayed if you’re more worried about getting your Tuesday afternoon sundae in a timely fashion than saving a couple of bucks.
As for the rest of you, we’ll see you in line!
