5. Free Cone Day !! On 29th April 2008 they celebrated our 30th birthday year with Free Cone Day . The party was a huge hit, with Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops across the UK - and the world - serving up thousands of scoops, absolutely free! Free Cone Day was first celebrated back in 1979, in the original Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shop The day was created to thank loyal customers for their support during Ben & Jerry’s first year in business. In keeping with one of Ben & Jerry’s original mottos - "Business has a responsibility to give back to the community" each Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shop elected a local charity and collected donations on the day.
