How do you find out if a particular B&J is "participating?" I've never ever had any B&J but often wondered. There's one near me. In fact, I work out at a gym just 2 blocks from there every other day and it so happens that 4/17 is a workout day. Yum.

Cool. I plan to participate this year. I'll try to make it right when they open, so maybe there won't be much of a line. Probably just one cone for me, though. 9 days and counting.

there'll be a line, but it goes pretty fast (so you can get two!). beware of your delta sig friends that try to sign you up for credit cards!

I boycott all Ben & Jerry products, even if they are free. Ben Cohen (founder of Ben & Jerry's) supports cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.

In 1981, Mumia Jamal was a Philadelphia Taxi Driver named Wesley Cook. Cook stood in the middle of a city street, in front of several witnesses, and shot Officer Daniel Faulkner in the back. The witnesses watched as Cook stood over the fallen officer and emptied his gun into the officer's face. Police arrived within moments, and Mumia was caught red-handed at the scene, the murder weapon still in his possession. The witnesses watched as the cold blooded killer was arrested and loaded into the back of a police wagon.

Ben Cohen believes that it's good for business to become involved in social causes. One of the social causes he has chosen to become involved in is the "Free Mumia Jamal" movement. He signed his name to a petition which appeared in a full page ad in the New York Times. The words "Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream" appeared on the petition, next to his name.

using that logic you also need to boycot Bruce Springsteen, Rage Against The Machine & The Beastie Boys (just to name a few) as they've all spoken out about how he was railroaded. horrible thread crap on your part way to go!

I really don't care if Ben & jerry dress up like Hitler every day, the ice cream is DAMN GOOD

So if Ben Cohen suports Mumia Jamal, all the More reason to get a FREE cone.
There's no profit giving out Free cones, it COSTS Them Money, so the more they give out the better, but I wouldn't Pay for anything from them.

My $.02 worth

Darn, the closest to me is in Tampa, at the University of South Florida area, a 60+ mile round trip, and since I only get about 12 miles per gallon in my truck, and FRICKING Gas is almost $3.00 a gallon now, ( more Record profits for the oil industry ), I don't think it's worth $15.00 in gas For a Free cone.


Oh Well, Bummer

Free ice-cream -would be- good. Alas, 3/4 of B&J's in NJ are NOT participating. :thumbsdown:

In case you haven't checked your B&J's policy, the OP's link has a Store Locater icon, and its list of your state's B&J's indicates which ones are not participating. G'luck!
