Free Cone Day

Between Noon and 8p, Ben and Jerry's will be giving away free scoops of their deliciously fattening ice cream. Here in Philly, the lines will be around the corner by Rittenhouse Square at 18th/Walnut Sts and over on UPenn's campus at 40th/Locust Sts. If you dare sit through the wait for one scoop, more power to ya.

Free cone day fell on an election primary day a couple years ago. It was a fairly important primary... I forget which one. I voted around 4:30PM and according to the register, was the 24th or so person to vote that day.

A few minutes later, I saw the line for free ice cream was at least 50 or 60 deep. It had probably been like that all day. Made me think that maybe they should give out free ice cream at voting stations.
