Free Cone Day

image from Ben and Jerry's

I feel compelled to share information when it comes to free chow...

It's my favorite time of year boys and girls... it's FREE CONE DAY at Ben and Jerry's (between noon and 8pm at participating location) !!! Woohooo! So hopefully you have a shop near you! We have one on the RIT campus here, and I'm an alumni member at the RIT gym... so guess what I'm doing after my workout tonight?? You got it! Work out hard... go chow some ice cream! Too much fat and badness for you? Try a lighter side of Ben and Jerry's

Ben & Jerry's - You might think the guys who invented some of the craziest flavors in history would have nothing guilt-free to offer. Guess again! Here's the rundown on the stuff at their "Scoop Shop". (Nutritionals are for half-cup servings.) Most of their sorbets have just 100 fat-free calories and 1g fiber (POINTS® value 2*). The Jamaican Me Crazy one has a bit more calories -- 140 total -- and that's also fat-free with a gram of fiber (POINTS® value 3*). The frozen yogurts have 130 - 160 calories, 1.5 - 2.5g fat, and 0 - 1g fiber (POINTS® value 3*). HG Warning! Their No Sugar Added Vanilla Fudge Chip ice cream may be sweetened with Splenda, but it's loaded with fat -- it tips the scales at 180 calories, 13g fat, and 3g fiber (POINTS® value 4*).

If you don't have a Ben and Jerry's near you go grab a 50 cent iced coffee at Dunkin Donuts today instead! Click for details.

mmmmm DnD iced coffee! Just ran out at lunch time :)

side note: as you can see graphic designers don't have to dress up to go to work... love my job!
