Girl who never lies eats 1 million ice cream cones **

Did you celebrate Ben and Jerry’s free cone day yesterday? I did, despite an embarrassing incident in which I thought I was being rudely ignored by Employee #1, so then ordered from Employee #2 who told me they were out of the flavor I wanted (cheesecake brownie), but then Employee #1 came out with a cheesecake brownie cone for me just as Employee #2 handed me my back-up flavor (regular ol’ chocolate) and everyone thought I was that cheap asshole trying to pull something. It was sad because I was obliged to take the chocolate cone, when really I wanted the cheesecake one (which Employee #1 gave to someone else who definitely did not want it as much as I did).

Anyway, today we move on to Round 2 of free/cheap ice cream days, as Baskin Robbins holds its annual 31 cent scoop night from 5-10pm. Today, Baskin-Robbins donates $100,000 (and will collect additional donations in many locations) to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation — an organization that provides public information and training on fire prevention, and assists the families of fallen heroes.
