lemme get this straight - Free music AND ice cream? Woohoo!

anyway - seems like a good matchup - and easy to win - that's key.
 
DOH!!! There are no Ben and Jerry's in a 20 mile radius of our town!! Argh, any way this is a good idea, and the more exposure the better.
 
Sweet ice cream, free music, and a chance to win an ipod. 🙂 I love this idea. Everyone loves ice cream. mmmm ice cream.
 
I'm in the same boat, there are no scoop shops anywhere near me.

I wish they had put the codes on their Ben & Jerry's pints! I buy at least one a week.

Gotta love Chocolate Chocolate Cookie! 😛 🙂

but if they're taking the first 50,000 people... unless it's 50,000 in the whole country. in which case keeping track of how many have been given away could prove to be a chore.
 
Oooooh...there's a B&J's in Fort Myers. I might have to make an excuse to go up there next week 🙂
 
sounds sweet and good

I'll be the first one in line at my store. Bring on the free songs AND the free ice cream!

hey your complaining, theres no store in Hawaii period!
 
Wouldn't it be great if Apple could do an event every year like that where you are like the first 500 to turn up with your iPod at an Apple store and they'd give you a free song?
 
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NOT A BEN AND JERRY'S IN TEXAS!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!

I mean c'mon they're getting rich from me eating "One Sweet Whirld" (Thank you DMB) I think I deserve a song for that.

Try being in Texas, where there appears to be no such store!!!

I think being in Hawaii surrounded by the pacific trumps that (but only slightly!)
😀


Anyways, I was just thinking the other day about why other companies have not gotten in on this act and had giveaways to iTMS as incentives for thier products. I hope this is a first in a long trend, it would be nice to continue gettting free tunes from iTMS by purchasing pepsi, or mcDs, etc.
 
Hopefully those 50,000 songs are distributed among the various US time zones; otherwise by the time 12pm rolls around in the western part of the country there might not be that many songs left to give out.
 
sorry all you folks w/o a near buy ben and jerry's; there are ben and jerry's all over nor-cal.

April 27th will be a sweet day ... no pun intended 😀

ONE measly free song?
 
according to macnn's news listing about it... you don't even have to go to the store in person...

"Users can visit the company's website on that day to take the "Oath to Vote" and receive a free song from the iTunes Music Store (on Monday, April 26th) as well as register for a chance to win a sweepstakes with the Grand Prize of an iPod, iMac and a trip to Vermont to spend a day as an honorary Ben & Jerry's Flavor Guru to create a batch of their own personal flavor. "

at least that's how i read it

but, on b/j's site, it still doesn't say anything exactly about itunes...
 
Free cone or free music

The free cone is if you visit a store.

The free song is if you visit the website and promise to vote in November as part of "Rock the vote". You don't have to live near a store to get a song.
 
These free iTunes promos are going to cause me to have long term health problems with all this Pepsi and ice cream I'm ingesting. Mmm...coffee Heath bar crunch. Someone's going to develop type 2 diabetes and sue Apple. 😉

Can't they have a "Run a mile, get a free song" promotion?
 
Great deal, though unfortunatley theres not a Ben & Jerry's close to me. Maybe I can sign up on the website.

Hopefully we will keep seeing these promos like this. It's great exposure to iTunes and the iPod, and it's great for consumers.
