    do they have beer flavour?

  • Seems like three flavours based on the ad, choc brownie, cookie dough & strawberry cheesecake.

    You could always add beer as an extra topping :)

  • +5

    UK pint or US pint?

    UK is 568mL, US is 473mL.

    • Are you intending to take your own container to put it in?

    • +2

      Ben & Jerry's is from the US. It's a US pint.

      • -1

        Any amount of free icecream is great, however, Australia uses the UK sizes and therefore we should be getting an extra 97mL if they want to advertise it as a pint (570mL) :)

        • +2

          Ordinarily I'd agree with you but the price is right so I can't ;)

        • As long as they list the volume in ml, they comply, also it is food not beer. ;-)

    Other cities, other dates in June…

    Bappy - worth adding to title for more +'s ;-)

    Sharing the love ice cream.

      Thanks mate - updated

      • +1

        Now with (100) added +'s ;-)

  • I heard about this on the radio the other day but couldn't find any info on their facebook page at the time. I will be there!!!!

  • yay free overpriced ice cream !

    • +2

      It's bad being addicted to it at $11 a tub. When i was in USA it was still $6 USD so it's cheaper but not dramatically. One thing I miss was In America I could get chocolate fudge brownie which is a low(er) fat frozen yogurt version. I haven't been able to find the frozen yogurt range here.

      • +1

        When we were over in the US, they were $2.50 USD on special. Needless to say we bought a whole bunch of tubs and stashed them in the freezer at the apartment. We never got to finish them all off, but we definitely gave most of the range a try.
        Couldnt believe how cheap they were.

        • Wow - I would have stocked up at that price to. Cheapest I found was $5 on special.

      • +1

        I miss Americone Dream. It is so much better than Jimmy Fallon's flavour :P

  • Is there anything we need to do? Or can we just show up and ask about it? I cant find any 'instructions' as such…

    • There will be set locations which haven't been announced yet. I recall a few years back they had them at king George square in brisbane and it was just a massive line up, but the line moved fast…. Although that was still around 30 minutes.

    • They had one in Chatswood (NSW) in April and the line was soooooo long. Literally down the block. I think the line will be sufficiently long you won't need to state why you are there.

  • +3

    Ahhh free, my favorite price.

  • +2

    (Using your best Irish accent) "Nothing better than a pint of Ben and Jerry's on a cold winter's day in Melbourne."

  • +4

    "Locations are top secret and will be revealed on the page throughout the day…" Gonna be work/school hours when no one can go?

    • this is my last week at this job, you'd better believe i'll be out hunting down ice cream

      • +4

        Do you need a new job? Do you want to earn half a pint of ice cream? Well then today's your lucky day, all you need to do is bring me a pint of ice cream and I will give you half in return :-)

    • I'll be hanging around my CBD office, watching :P

  • How does it work? BYO container, show up when venue is announced?

    • +2

      I'm guessing they'll be handing out actual tubs of their ice cream… so unless you want to eat a pint on the spot (in which case, bring a spoon? unless they plan to provide spoons) - bring a cooler bag and ice packs? and get home or back to work fast to throw it in your freezer lol.

  • Where about in Syd CBD I dont wana walk 1km for one pint .I think it might be near central station

    • +9

      I dont wana walk 1km for one pint

      You are not true OzBargainer :O

      • +2

        you get free excercise and free pint of ice cream. double whammy bargain \o/

    • When I got some 3 years ago it was at Railway Sq on the western side of Central Station - https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Central+Railway+Station…

      I suppose there aren't that many popular locations where are queue of 100s of people would be permitted.

    • get more than one then:)

    • +1

      I walked more than that for it, then I walked all the way to the quay so I could eat the best icecream looking at the best view, only managed to eat about 1/5 before I gave up and went home to freeze it, I did see people who ate the whole pint though hehe.

  • -2

    No location is given. I don't have a day to hang around to go to a location for $10 of ice cream. Thanks for not a lot Ben and Jerry.

    • +2

      good to know. more for us!

  • +1

    better than a scoop :)

    Update -

    SYDNEY ICE CREAM LOVERS! Tomorrow the debate kicks off at 12pm. Should we be ‪#‎Sorry‬ or ‪#‎NotSorry‬? There's only one way to find out. Come and join us near Hyde Park from 12pm to grab a FREE pint, but be quick, you never know when we'll move to the next location…

    • +3

      anyone have a guess where "near hyde park" ? Hyde park is a pretty big area.

  • Walking around looking & I can see I'm not the only one but can't seem to find it.

    • +1

      I walked til I found someone with a tub and demanded the location :P

  • +3

    Found it, Castlereagh St!!

  • +5

    155 Castlereagh Street in Sydney, peeps.

  • haha, here's the post I duped =D I got Couch Potato and saw someone with a Chubby Hubby!

    • +2

      and saw someone with a Chubby Hubby!

      Glad my mum managed to get down there for the deal.

  • are they still there?

  • what flavours do they have? how is the queue guys?

  • +1

    Yes they are still there, queue is about 30 people on each direction but it goes really quickly. Less than 5 mins wait.

  • +2

    Gone now.

  • +2

    Thankyou so much OP! Without your post I never would have known, and would have missed out on the two pints of delicious chubby hubby I scored <3

  • +2

    Moved to corner of Devonshire and Chalmers Streets in Surry Hills now.

  • +1

    perhaps it's worth packing some ice packs in an insulated lunch bag if you're planning on stalking them around town ;)

  • They're probably going to melt on me but they're still at Chalmers/ Devonshire giving away 2 per person!!

  • Just checked and theyve left! =(

  • +1

    scored a slab of 8 clusterfluff booya!

  • Where are the Melbourne locations?

  • Anyone knows the Melb location ?

    • They haven't released it yet, running late. People aren't happy on FB :p

      • Fair enough, I am scouting around the city atm, but no sign of them anywhere

        • +1

          Yeah quite odd, they announced it before noon in Sydney and even a location hint the day before. Nothing at all so far for Melbourne and it's well past the time.

        • Looks like I'll be late home for dinner.

          Hi our scooperstar fans! Monday traffic is the worst…
          We've had a few delays getting there, but rest assured that we will be in the city shortly! Thanks for your patience everyone. We'll keep you updated.

        • Hope they're not going to just give 1 tub per person. I want a bag full for waiting.

        • @tatnal: they gave out 2 per person in Syd. Given that they are late, we should expect at least 2.

        • Maybe 1 of each flavour - I remember last time there were a few different flavours. Might be a mad rush.

  • 1.5 hour late in Melb and there is still no clue about the location :(

  • +2

    Corner of Flinders Lane / Queen St. 3.5 hours late… 😑

  • Thanks OP.

  • +2

    They were giving out 8 packs at the start in melbourne - our office is stocked up!

    • +1

      Same here! Good for those working in the city today.

  • Saw people getting 8 tubs but I only got 2 :(
    Was few minutes too late

  • Someone in our workplace won a truckload of Ben and Jerry's icecream. They were giving out by the slab!

  • 10 tubs scored

    • how?

  • Just scored two in Melbourne. The line was pretty feral…

    • Is there a lot left?

      • I am not sure. I didn't peek inside the truck.

        I was there around 4:30 and they still had 5 slabs on the floor with a guy carrying more from the truck.

        • How many tubs can you get?

  • Got 2 tubs! Hell yeah.

    Pretty much out from what I saw, maybe a few stacks left for anyone considering going.

    • Nooo.. I'm just omw from work.

      • Heard the guy mention that they were almost done. This was about 10 minutes ago!

        • Noooo……..

        • That's $24 I'll never get back.

  • +1

    Thank you op
    Got 7tubs:)
    My 3year old son was very excited

    • Cheers, how did you manage 7 tubs?

  • +5

    They gave 2 for me, my son & my 11 month old daughter, while leaving, my son went to thank them, they gave 1 more for his behavior :)

  • +1

    Any hints on the locations for Adelaide?

    • Keep an eye on the FB event.

    • Adelaide is there now. Corner or Pulteney & Rundle St opposite Target:

      Hi Adelaide! We're currently at the corner of Pulteney St and Rundle St (Across the road from Target) handing out FREE pints of the sweet stuff! We'll cya there! FB Link

      • +1

        Thanks Hamza23 off to Target now :-)

  • Me and some workmates each scored a slab of 8 in Adelaide. The girl unloading the truck asked if we were going back to the office, when we replied yes she gave us a slab each. People started swarming and then she told them all to go to the guy handing out the singles. Lucky timing!

  • +1

    scored 2 of each flavour in adl. I had a half hour to kill so i just lined up, popped the 2 in the car, changed jackets and lined up again :p

  • +1

    you had me at Free Pints

  • After noon & no word on location…
    18 hours ago: Tomorrow the debate kicks off at 12pm. Should we be ‪#‎Sorry‬ or ‪#‎NotSorry‬? There's only one way to find out. Come and join us from 12pm where?

      • Damn, I'm in a restaurant a few blocks away, waiting for my slow cooked beef cheeks, pinot noir in hand. I could be a while.

    • Calm down, they were 3.5 hour late in Melbourne. They will come eventually
