I have patiently been waiting for tomorrow for a long time. Actually, I have only been waiting a few minutes because I just found out about it, but since tomorrow has not happened yet, I didn’t just “wait a few minutes” and it happened. What is the significance of tomorrow aside from it being Tuesday? It’s Ben and Jerry’s Free Cone Day. At participating Ben and Jerry’s shops, you can burst through the door between 12:00 Noon and 8:00 P.M. (March 23, 2010) and have your day made.
Select from new flavors such as Cookies and Milk, Maple Blondie, or Peanut Brittle, or choose any other variety on the menu. There is much sorrow in the land. Alas, it appears that they have discontinued Bovinity Divinity. It is chalk full of large pieces of chocolate shaped like happy cows. It brought joy to my heart. It was discontinued nine whole years ago, but I still haven’t quite gotten over it.
Enjoy your ice cream, just knowing that I may be weeping in my dish, reminiscing on how the world was once full of small (but large compared to an ice cream cone) benevolent bovine. Also, the nearest Ben and Jerry’s shop or even counter is at least a forty minute drive away and they don’t even have all the flavors because I think it is just a counter in a hospital cafeteria.
