"Free Cone Day is our way of thanking our fans for being awesome," the company said on its website.

Ben & Jerry's is also combining this day to do good for the planet. On the Free Cone Day site, the company is asking its customers to sign an online petition to push for a quicker transition to renewable and clean energy. Some locations are even using the day to raise funds for local charities.
