Free Scoop Today at Ben & Jerry's Long Beach
The beloved ice cream maker celebrates its 37th annual free scoop day but its website crashes from the load of traffic. But Patch called the local store to confirm: it is on.
No it is not too good to be true, yee fans of Ben & Jerry's: a scoop of their ice cream is free today, and Long Beach's B & J is participating.

We'll stear you to our local store's Facebook page, because the company's website has reportedly crashed or seized under the heavy traffic that free ice cream naturally brings.
