Free Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream

bj-phish-foodWhat could be lovelier than free ice cream on that most mundane of days, Tuesday? Today, Ben and Jerry’s shops across the world are offering any cone or cup of ice cream from their scoop shop – absolutely free.

Ben and Jerry’s have branches at cinemas throughout Ireland. The company’s website has no mention of time restrictions on this offer, although we’ve been informed it’s only available from 12pm to 6pm.

  1. Hi

    I had an e mail for this offer sent to me. So printed off and hunted up and down Baggott st to find the icecream. I went to 4 shops and not one had the offer, from your web link it appears it was only available at the cinema shops?! Very misleading offer.

    I even went to Donnybrook Fair – their frezzer appeared to be broken and they didn’t even have any icecreams!!

  2. I went to cineworld – the ben and jerry’s staff (who aren’t directly affiliated with Ben and Jerry’s) hadn’t been contacted by B and J in relation to it and wouldn’t redeem the voucher – or any of the vouchers of the people in front of me….ended up spending a tenner on bloody icecream.

  3. Hi Gavin, that’s pretty poor on Ben and Jerry’s part. But the press release sent to us stated that all you needed to do was ask at the counter – there shouldn’t have been any need for a voucher.
    It was only redeemable at the scoop shops.
    Did any other readers avail of the offer or encounter problems similar to Gavin?

  4. Not your fault Peter – I went to the website, you had to submit your details and you were emailed a coupon that you had to print off – it entitled you to 150ml of whatever flavour your icecream loving heart desired.

    The website also had a list of the cinemas where you could avail of the offer – Cineworld on Parnell St. included.

    As I said, they weren’t honouring any of the coupons.

    Doesn’t sound like Jackie (above) had any joy either…I’d be very interested to hear what Ben and Jerry’s have to say about it.

    Gavin

  5. hi, could someone tell me which flavours are sold in these cinemas? are they just the usual ones that are sold in all supermarkets or other kinds?
