You may have got up this morning thinking it was just another Tuesday. Boy, how wrong can you be.

Today is Ben & Jerry's annual Free Cone Day, which means just that - they’re giving away free ice creams today, April 12th, from 12pm to 8pm and everyone’s invited. Prepare for brain freeze.

The first ever Free Cone Day was held in 1979. It’s was the ice cream company’s way of thanking everyone for all the love and support they received in their first year of business in a renovated petrol station in Burlington, Vermont, USA. Free Cone Day is now celebrated every year, all around the world.

There’s no guest list, no special password, no Twitter competition. All you have to do is turn up at your nearest Ben & Jerry’s scoop shop (not all stores participate, it needs to be one owned by the ice cream brand, not a franchise) and you can find yours here.

You just queue up and then you get to choose a free cone of any ice cream flavour you want! And the best bit? There’s no limit on how many free cones you have – once you’ve finished one, you can just get back in line and choose another. ‘We’re not counting. Really, go for it’, they promise.

To save you the hassle, we've done the investigating for you! Your nearest (and only!) participating venue in the Black Country is the Odeon cinema at intu Merry Hill.

GO!
