Ben & Jerry's Chattanooga 201 Broad Street Chattanooga, TN 37402 I'd go but it's kinda far for me...I'd spend more money on gas than the free ice cream.......unless I go back a few times

My only challenge will be finding a place to park.
Let the games begin!

LOL! I have to agree with Jay on this one. The effort involved, taking time out of work, gas at more than $2.70 a gallon. I've got Mayfield's in the fridge.

Bruster's is closer, easier to get to, has a wider selection, better quality, and more reasonable price. Fuck Ben & Jerry.

Oooo! Thanks for the reminder! Some of us did a "field trip" last year to get a free cone. Shuttle down, eat and enjoy a little sunshine and WALK back!

Jay,
Any idea of the time period for free cones? Is it an all day thing?

Were I not 'eld to a higher standard', I would return the kindness of their political activism by accepting this cone, and pitching it into their largest display sign on camera for effect.
They support various cop-killers and thugs, and I hope they go bankrupt with a scorching case of herpe-crabs.

According to their website, the give-away runs from noon to 8pm at participating locations. The one downtown is participating.
However, in light of Shot's post, I must re-iterate: Fuck Ben & Jerry.

Why do you all hate Ben and Jerry's? Their prices are high but, supposedly they don't have the growth hormones in the ice cream that other brands have.
BTW, where are the Brewster locations in Chattanooga? I love their ice cream.

The closest one to me is on Hixson Pike across from the North River YMCA and next door to the Sonic.
And a hearty "Amen!" on their Butter Pecan.

Cop-killers & thugs? As in?
Or is it that they are just liberal?

I assume Longshot & tcrash are referring to the FOP boycott of Ben & Jerry's in relation to B&J's support of Mumia Abu-Jamal.

DW - There's a Bruster's at the corner of East Brainerd Road and Jenkins - in that new strip mall across from the Bi-lo.
