It happened on a Tuesday of 12 April 2016 at a well-loved Pacific Fair mall in Broadbeach. We all queued for our turn to receive free ice cream!
While I waited, I took this photo:

There were about 22 ice cream flavors and 2 sorbet flavors. Which one did I pick? Follow the aqua blue box...

No need to grab your magnifying lens, mateys! Even my powerful squinting ability can't read it either. Perhaps the next photo will be more helpful to us all.

You got it! I ordered Chocolate Therapy. Imagine chocolate ice cream, with chocolate cookie crumbs, and chocolate pudding. Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate... Mmm-mmmm...

We all have a choice of the ice cream in a cone or in a cup. I find the cone too demanding of me to speed up eating that scoop, or be threatened have a drippy cone tip making splotchy messes. I chose the cup so that I can eat my ice cream at a slower pace, and delight in its rich flavors and textures spoon-by-spoon. The paper cup satisfies two groups of people: the appreciators and the trashers. Those who appreciate the cup's artwork may take the cup home. And those who have a throw away habit are welcome to have it recycled. Everyone wins!
If the queue line was shorter, I'd be happy to queue back for another serving. So much for wishful thinking, the line seems so long and regularly reconstructed. But the good news is, the wait is less of a drama and worth it!
The Ben & Jerry Free Cone Day is said to be an international thing. Not all of its scoop shop branches are into Free Cone Day. It helps to google for it online, and take note which venues and day they will celebrate it. Interested? Keep an eye on: http://www.benjerry.com/scoop-shops/free-cone-day
Someone had thoughts of the Ben & Jerry Free Cone Day as-- the best holiday ever! A cute read, true indeed...

Most holidays may mean no school for kids. Seems like when class was dismissed, the school kids drop their books and queued in line for free ice cream (meaning they had school uniforms on, and I saw none of them were carrying books, while waiting for their turn to receive a free serving).
They beat me to it. Clevah!
