Overheard at Baskin Robbins tonight....

...when we and others found out the fine print said only "300" Yahoo Birthday scoops per store:


Lady on phone: "Of course you got your's, you had ice cream for breakfast."

They were giving away free ice cream?

Yep.

http://birthday.yahoo.com

Not very well advertised, but I saw several posts about it yesterday.

We missed the fine print and didn't go out till 8pm looking for free ice cream.

I couldn't even get the coupon to show up :/

I got one! (At 9:30 pm.)

Showed up and said "Are you Yahoo'd out?" and the lady said, "I guess not." She took my coupon and put it on a big stack of them. She also managed an upsell: for 50ยข I got a full-size scoop instead of the "junior" scoops they were giving away.

I got some sort of mocha truffle flavor. It was very good.

I was number 15 at 11 am. I guess it was sort of breakfasty. Yum.

The plus side of living in a small town. The kids and I went and got ours at 4:00 pm and it hadn't even been busy!
