Win a trip to vermont? That sucks because I live in vermont 😛. It would be cool to pick the flavors though.
There's a store like a block or 2 from my school, so I'll be hoping over there when I can 🙂

well, i work at ben and jerry's.... but it just happens to be one of the only three b and j's in canada, so no itunes for me, stupid country, i mean, GO HABS!
but hey, all you people complaining about the health risks of ben and jerry's ice cream... give chocolate fudge brownie frozen yogurt a shot. Everybody hears "frozen yogurt" and thinks, oh, well that's just gonna suck. But every customer i've ever suggested this flavour to has been amazed at how good it is. There's really no compromise at all, you can tell the difference between it and the ice cream version, not very easily though, and the difference isn't a bad difference anyways, its like, more refreshing. And the beautiful part... only 2 grams of fat per scoop, as opposed to about 15 or so for most of the regular ice creams.
So maybe iTunes canada will open up on the same day and free cone day will just kick it off.... except that the only ben and jerry's in canada are all in montreal.... meh, who needs toronto
GO HABS!

As an ex-scoop shop employee, all I have to say is save the trip to the mall. Unlike Baskin Robbins, B and J doesn't care if you go through the line multiple times. Just make sure that if you do so, finish your first scoop before you get to the front of the line for your 2nd(3rd, 4th, etc)
I think it's cool that there are going to be stations that allow you to register to vote.

Thanks, I will take note of that. 🙂 I don't really like going to the mall anyway because the B and J is on the 4th floor

It is the Providence Place mall. Im not much of a mall guy, so the only reason I go there is to see an occasional movie and go to movies. Also, the food court (where Ben and Jerry's) is always packed, ecspecially on the weekends. I agree that free ice cream is worth the extra effort. Now only if I had another excuse to go there...
where are the free itunes?
I logged into Ben and Jerry's at noon today and saw NOTHING on how to get a free song-- what gives?

It's there right now along the left side of the screen. I'm not sure if they've run out of songs though, they don't tell you.

So....
I went to the Waterbury, VT Ben and Jerry's plant yesterday.
Lots of great, free ice cream.
NOTHING having to do with Apple or iTunes. 🙁
Major disappointment...offset by total indulgence in wonderful ice cream.

thanks - as for which song, I haven't decided yet. I buy music from the store pretty regularly now, especially since I got quite a few iTMS gift certificates for Xmas this past year. As I post new songs to www.dailytunes.com, I come across some that I've never heard, give them a listen, and if I like it, I'll buy it. 🙂
On a related note, when I clicked through to add the song to my account, it shows that I have 1 song & $9.58 in my account balance, instead of just adding the $$ value to my current balance. Since we've never seen even 1 Pepsi cap here, I wonder if those did this as well, since I have no personal experience. 🙁
As for your winning a song or not - you would have seen a screen like the one I've attached if you were eligible to win the song.

Have any non-US residents tried the Ben & Jerry's promo?
I bet if you give a fake US address when you fill out the form, as long as the e-mail is valid, you will get a code e-mailed to you.
Then, you should be able to setup an iTMS account using the code without a US based credit card. The kicker is once you have an account, you should also get access to the Tuesday free song give away promo.
Has anyone not in the US tried this?
