This Grocery Store Is Giving Away 45,000 Pints of Ice Cream This Summer

Here’s how to get yours.

If the “Family Feud” host asked, “What’s the number one summer dessert?” we predict the top answer would be ice cream. We indeed eat ice cream year-round, but in our minds, the creamy treat—scooped in a bowl or a cone, sandwiched between two chocolate cookies, or topped with hot fudge in an ice cream sundae—is linked to summer.

The only thing better than ice cream in summer is free ice cream, and Kroger is giving away 50 pints of its store-brand ice cream for every minute of sunlight on the summer solstice, June 20. That totals 900 minutes of sunlight, or 45,000 pints of ice cream.

"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," said Juan De Paoli, vice president of Our Brands for Kroger. "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."
