1979. The first ever Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day in the history of history! It was our way of thanking everyone for all the love and support they showed us that first year of business in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont.

For ice cream fans, it's also free cone day at Dairy Queen. To celebrate the start of spring, Dairy Queen is kicking off what it calls "treat szn" (or treat season) by offering a free small vanilla cone to customers at participating U.S. non-mall locations on Monday.

There is a limit of one free cone per customer. Also, the offer isn't available on mobile or delivery orders, or at mall locations. No purchase is necessary for the free cone. Just ask for one!

Guided by our Core Values, we seek in all we do, at every level of our business, to advance human rights and dignity, support social and economic justice for historically marginalized communities, and protect and restore the Earth's natural systems. In other words: we use ice cream to change the world.

Springtime officially started Monday, prompting Dairy Queen to recognize the occasion by offering customers a free dessert. Dairy Queen said it was presenting customers a complimentary small vanilla ice cream cone Monday as a way to "kick off treat szn." The chain said the "Free Cone Day" event is an all-day one.

In case you're wondering how it all started, in the spring of 1979, co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield kickstarted Free Cone Day to honor their first year in business.

Ben & Jerry's started out in 1978 in a renovated gas station after Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield completed a correspondence course in ice-cream making. From humble beginnings to being owned by Unilever – Ben & Jerry's have always stayed true to their social, economic and product values.
