Free Ben & Jerry’s ice cream? Yes, please!
Today is Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s, arguably the best day of the year. (Go ahead, try to argue with us.)
There are so many flavors to choose from, and it can be hard to make a decision. But don’t worry, we at Charlotte Five are here to help.
Here are some options based on how you’re feeling today:
1) Has your case of the Mondays dragged on into Tuesday?
Are you feeling sluggish at work this morning? The two cups of coffee just aren’t cutting it? Take a scoop of Coffee, Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz! Coffee ice cream with espresso bean fudge chunks is exactly what you need for an afternoon boost.
Uh oh! Methinks I will have to get some of this!! #BenandJerrys #coffeecoffeebuzzbuzzbuzz pic.twitter.com/E6uPn79BFo

2) Can’t wait for summer to really get here?
Tired of being teased by 80-degree sunny weather followed by a gray, rainy week? Head for the Lemonade or Mango Mango Sorbet. Refreshing fruit flavors will brighten your day and have you thinking about lazy Saturdays by the pool.
Dear @benandjerrys, weather gods gave ideal temps for #freeconeday! Went to @rockcenternyc. My flavor? Mango sorbet. pic.twitter.com/jBwGV6usiN

3) Already wishing for happy hour?
It’s only 2 p.m. on a Tuesday, but you already have a hankering for a happy-hour drink special? Fill that craving with a White Russian. It’s coffee ice cream with coffee liqueur. Get it, go home, put on a bathrobe, and insist on people calling you “The Dude.”
Yesterday we announced the reinCONEnation of White Russian! It’s back & only available in our scoop shops. pic.twitter.com/vXfI3RpW7P

4) #Merica!
Did you wake up this morning with a strong desire to watch baseball, eat hot dogs and apple pie, and to shoot off fireworks? Is the Fourth of July your favorite holiday? Do you miss “The Colbert Report”? Get a big hit of #merica with AmeriCone Dream, vanilla ice cream with pieces of fudge covered waffle cone and caramel.
Added bonus: Proceeds go to charity through The Stephen Colbert AmeriCone Dream Fund.
8 years on, it still tastes like #freedom. Happy birthday to @StephenAtHome‘s Americone Dream. http://t.co/nggM4KQwq1 pic.twitter.com/EY2o9ZnpvS

Still can’t decide? Just close your eyes and point. You really can’t go wrong with free ice cream.
