Free Cone Day might just be Ben & Jerry's merriest day of the year.

For nearly 40 years, Ben & Jerry's has handed out free cones on April 4 as a thanks to customers for "being so uniquely awesome," says a statement from the company. In Dallas-Fort Worth, the Ben & Jerry's shops slinging free scoops are located in Plano and Highland Village:

"It's amazing what we can do together over shared values and several scoops of ice cream," says Hunter Rose, "ice cream czar" at Ben & Jerry's of Plano and Highland Village, in a press release. Toss a few bucks in the tip jar if you want to: It goes to Susan G. Komen North Texas foundation.

Rose expects his staff to give away something like 18,000 scoops.
