14C MVP of the Month

How many months has it been since we last had an MVP of the month? Well the last one was in April 2005, so after doing a little bit of math, we can figure that it's been... 18 months. A whole year and a half our previous MVP of the month held his throne. He was quite worthy, but to be honest, some of that time was because I had forgotten about this section. Shashi reminded me that he was patiently waiting for a new MVP, so that prompted me to get on it. I spent a lot of time carefully deciding who would be worthy. Then it became clear to me. April. What's a very important event in my life, and everyone's elses during April. I'll give you a clue, it takes place this year on April 17th.
*drum roll*

Ben and Jerry's Free Cone Day!
After all the free cones they give out, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield whole-heartedly deserve this coveted award. Free cone day has always been good to me. Back when I lived in Portland, we would have to wait an hour and a half in line, just to get our free cone. We would do it without any complaint, cheerfully and eagerly awaiting our prize. When I came to New York, because there were more Ben & Jerry's around, I only had to wait about 30 minutes for a cone, and I was completely taken aback by this.



It's not just free cone day though, all the time Ben & Jerry's keeps me going. A group of us go there almost every week and indulge our sweetteeth. Not to mention the time where we conquered their giant sundae, the Vermonster.

It could be argued that Ben nor Jerry have stepped foot in my apartment, making them ineligible for the 14C MVP of the Month, but I've had many a pint inside of its doors, which is good enough for me to qualify it. If you don't believe me, there's a video posted here on the site of me quickly eating a pint of it in our living room.

Ben, Jerry, you are amazing.

Aviv salutes you too; and now here's a tribute (inverted) haiku from him:
Masters of ice cream delights
Oh Ben and Jerry's
Let us partake of your treats.
