Free JP Licks ice cream for college students today

[ron_newman]

From their e-mail newsletter: "Stop by J.P. Licks and get a FREE small ice cream or yogurt cone or cup, all day, on Tuesday, September 16th! All you have to do is show us your college I.D."

I wonder if this applies to college staff. It doesn't say "student ID", which is different.
hmmm...J.P. Licks across the street...

Well, the headline on the newsletter was "College students get FREE ICE CREAM on SEPTEMBER 16TH!"

I doubt it, but I was thinking that it would be nice. :)

email newsletter?

I'm sick of these local businesses mollycoddling college students!

JP Licks mailing list signup page. They don't send much e-mail, maybe one message a month.

I think they should give free ice cream to people with "I voted" stickers. :-P

That's my plan. It's UMass Amherst, but I imagine some kid making minimum wage could give a damn.

Suggest it to them and tell us what they say?

good idea! I can get two free cones then! :D

I would but I'm not going to be in Somerville again until well after voting has ended today! Someone else should do it.

Last year's free campus promotion was better -- you could just print a form from their website and take it to any store and get a free cone...no ID or college affiliation required (and it stretched over a couple of weeks).

I recommend getting on the mailing lists of lots of the local businesses. I send them to a gmail account and check every now and then.

I recommend getting on the Hollywood Express mailing list. They send out occasional free video rentals - I think I have gotten 3 since Memorial Day.

I just have a valid student ID as of last week.

I love you, Ron. I'm going on a walk for ice cream now.

They have a banner outside the store now, too.

Peanut butter chip is good.

Do they make grad students put the silly stickers on the back saying what semester it's valid for? I never did figure out how to get a spring one... apparently if you live on campus it shows up in your mailbox, but I didn't live on campus.

No -- I believe that's printed on the front, actually. Something I came across in the process suggested to me that the IDs had been redesigned recently. (They're actually quite attractive.)

In front of me in line was a very middle-aged woman who said she *had* a student ID...from sometime...if they were not too picky about the date. They didn't seem to be.
