I know we have to watch what were eating, but you can't pass this up (or at least I can't)!
Free Cone Day
An annual event, held in late April or early May, in which Ben & Jerry's scoop shops give out free ice cream cones all day. This year's event, taking place on Tuesday, April 29, 2008, marks the company's 30th annual Free Cone Day.
Over one million free cones are given away each year, prompting the company's ad slogan "Be One In A Million." Charitable organizations are often present at the stores each year and enjoy a significant amount of fundraising success. Sometimes the event is scheduled to coincide with Earth Day and sometimes volunteers are on hand with clipboards and voter registration forms to help those who would like to register to vote.
The first Free Cone Day was held on May 5, 1979. It was done by Ben and Jerry as a customer and staff appreciation event for the one year anniversary of their ice cream store's opening.

Donna,
They also have Sorbet that might be a little better, but I get your point! For me it's one vice at a time!

@Donna, all the people at Reformed Smoker are watching you :-) We'll know if you've had anything remotely calorific.
@Lisa, hope you're hanging in there still with the non-smoking. Use the force :-)
Can you tell it's me if I wear this wig, thick glasses and the big nose with a mustache? You know, the mustache with the cookie crumbs in it. :)
