Ben & Jerry’s and Starbucks – Election Day Update

 The crowd around the block on Church Street Burlington Vermont, at 4:50pm today.

The voters are hungry for ice-cream! The line at Starbucks was not so long, but to be fair Starbucks was open all day and Ben and Jerry’s is running their promotion from 5pm-8pm.

Some news sites have pointed out that this voting incentive may violate federal voting laws, so the companies giving out the freebies need to give them out to everyone (not just voters).  Starbucks and Ben and Jerry’s seem to be giving their respective 12oz coffee and cone to whomever asks for it. No good deed…


What I haven’t seen is the law cited, so here you go:
18 USC 597 – Sec. 597. Expenditures to influence voting  reads:
Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; and Whoever solicits, accepts, or receives any such expenditure in consideration of his vote or the withholding of his vote – Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

Ben and Jerry’s – Free Election Day cone tomorrow!

November 3, 2008

Election day is tomorrow, polling times and places (for Vermonters) can be found here.

If you preform your civic duty, and don’t mind waiting in a second election day line you are entitled to a free Ben and Jerry’s cone (at participating scoop shops nationwide).

Just don’t take all of the C2B3 (Coffee Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz). An apt election day flavor may be Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream (which isn’t bad BTW).

Also there appears to be a free 12oz coffee at Starbucks for voters.

Ben and Jerry’s – Coffee Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz (Waffle Cone)

This Ben and Jerry’s scoop shop is smack in the middle of Church Street in Burlington Vermont.

Ben and Jerry’s – Coffee Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz (waffle cone)

Since it’s summer time, I want to tell you about my favorite Ben and Jerry’s flavor: Coffee Coffee, Buzz Buzz Buzz. It’s only sold in scoop shops.

As a side note, Ben and Jerry’s has a crazy flash animation haunted house that you can enter from their flavor graveyard.

The waffle cones are made fresh, the ice cream is comprised of fair-trade coffee ice-cream with espresso bean fudge chunks. This is the zenith of coffee ice-cream. Ben and Jerry’s Coffee Heath bar is great, nice crunch but a little too sweet. It also doesn’t have the “buzz” factor, do to the caffine content in this desert.

 I asked for a “small waffle” cone, (meaning smaller amount of ice-cream), but I guess if you’re ordering a waffle cone you’re getting a lot of ice-cream. Get extra napkins because the ice cream will start to drip a tiny bit out of the button by the time you get to the end and if you’re like me, you’ll get it on your face.

The cone was a heart stopping $4.86 with tax.
