It's that wonderful time of year again: Ben & Jerry's free cone day. Today, April 4, you can get as many free ice cream cones as you want from participating stores. The event starts at 12 p.m. and goes until 8 p.m., with the company saying they expect to give out more than a million free scoops globally. The original free cone day started in 1979 in Vermont, on year after the company was founded.
