Nothing clears the building like a Ben & Jerry's truck on Free Cone Day. When word spread, employees from Seven Days, WIZN, CVOEO and others in the Independent Block rushed outside like lemmings to the cliff.
Happily, no harm was done. What's an extra 180 calories and 5 grams of fat?
The truck was handing out 3.5-ounce containers of frozen yogurt — Greek frozen yogurt, for "creamy richness" — in Banana Peanut Butter and Raspberry Fudge Chunk. Not exactly cones, but we're not complaining!
Thanks, Ben & Jerry's, for your annual largesse. And for bringing it to our door, which is awesome for people on deadline.
All the rest of you can stand in line at a scoop shop for your freebie, until 8 p.m. Don't forget to say thanks!

Since 2014, Seven Days has allowed readers to comment on all stories posted on our website. While we’ve appreciated the suggestions and insights, the time has come to shut them down — at least temporarily.
While we champion free speech, facts are a matter of life and death during the coronavirus pandemic, and right now Seven Days is prioritizing the production of responsible journalism over moderating online debates between readers.
To criticize, correct or praise our reporting, please send us a letter to the editor. Or send us a tip. We’ll check it out and report the results.
Online comments may return when we have better tech tools for managing them. Thanks for reading.
