Got brain freeze every time the ice cream man asks "Cone or cup?"

            

The Bite

            

Let us help. Here’s the scoop: one less paper cup or plastic spoon isn’t going to save the world, but it’s one of those little things that add up - choose a cone, and enjoy the sweet taste of no waste.

                      

The Benefits

            
  • Lap it up. “Away from home” US ice cream sales topped $12.5 billion in 2002. Help keep single-use spoons out of the waste stream with one of these two simple words: “waffle” or “sugar.”
  • Americans throw away some 25 billion (yes, with a “B”) polystyrene cups a year. Keep styrofoam out of landfills - the cone you eat your mocha chip from today won’t still be sitting in a landfill in 500 years.
  • More fun! Come on, how many foods come in edible containers?

Wanna Try?

            
  • Ben & Jerry’s - their ice cream is produced on family farms without the use of rbGH, a synthetic growth hormone linked to cancer in some studies.
  • Stocking up your home freezer? Try some of our faves: Whole Foods’ 365 Cookies & Cream ice cream, Stonyfield Farms Organic Javalanche nonfat frozen yogurt, or Double Rainbow butter pecan soy cream.
