In honor of the first day of summer, the grocery store Kroger has announced that it will celebrate the new season by giving away 45,000 pints of free ice cream.
Kroger shared the news in a press release this week, noting that the free ice cream will be given away on June 20, the longest day of the year.
The total number of pints comes from Kroger deciding to give away “50 pints of free Kroger® Brand ice cream per minute,” on the longest day of the year.
“That’s 900 minutes of sunlight and 45,000 pints of free ice cream in total,” the press release shared.
The flavors ice cream fans can choose from include numerous flavors like “Kroger® Brand Deluxe Tie Dye Burst, which features swirls of vanilla, cherry, and blue moon, and indulgent classic flavors like Mint Chocolate Chip, Vivid Vanilla, and Chocolate Chip.”
“Summer means more time with family, more time by the pool and more time indulging in our favorite treats, and nothing says a perfect summer day like sunshine and Kroger® Brand ice cream,” Juan De Paoli, vice president of Our Brands for Kroger, shared in the release. “With more sunshine to enjoy a sweet treat, we are giving away ice cream for 15 hours straight; that is a whole lot of free ice cream.”
