Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day

Christmas does come twice. Today, April 4, is Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s. Walk in to any scoop shop between the hours of 12 p.m. and 8 p.m. to pick up a cone of your favorite flavor. And feel good about it: Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is 100 percent non-GMO and the company is vocal about a host of environmental and political issues including clean water and equal rights. So go ahead and get two cones. Tell them we sent you.

Try Starbuck’s New Cold Brew

Starbuck’s is releasing a new product today, April 4, just in time for the rising temps: a toasted coconut cold brew. According to Starbucks, the inspiration for this summer-y drink came from a popular Dominican candy called Jalao. The drink comes with a new toasted coconut syrup and a splash of coconut milk and will be around for a limited time only. And you can ask for that coconut syrup and coconut milk in other drinks as well – get creative!

Chipotle’s Free Chips and Guac

You read that right, Chipotle is giving away not just free chips, but GUAC. If you’ve ever saved your loose change to pay for the surcharge, you’ll want to check this out. To get your freebie, you’ll have to play Chipotle’s new game Spot the Imposter. To win, scroll through the list of more than 50 ingredients to call out the fake. (Chipotle says it’s the “only national restaurant brand without added colors, flavors or preservatives”.) Once you click on the gross ingredient, you’ll get a mobile coupon for free chips and guac with the purchase of an entrée. The game runs through April 7 and there’s a new imposter added every day at 9 am, so you can play again. Winners are also automatically entered to win free burritos for a year or dinner for 10.

Colada Shop’s National Empanada Day

Food holidays, they just keep on giving. Saturday, April 8 Colada Shop (in Washington D.C.) is celebrating National Empanada Day with $1 empanadas. (Not free, but it’s just one dollar!). Limit three per person but there’s a big menu to choose from, including picadillo-beef, chicken, spinach and cheese, and roasted cauliflower.
