Truck Tour Dishes Out Greek Frozen Yogurt August 7th through August 28th

HARTFORD, Conn. - August 7, 2013 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - For the first time ever, Ben & Jerry’s is bringing its sweets to the streets from the greater Hartford area to New Haven! Starting August 7th, the Ben & Jerry’s scoop truck will be rolling through Connecticut, dishing out free scoops of the refreshingly cool, “really Greekin’ good” Greek Frozen Yogurt flavors. The program is part of the ice cream company’s summer-long Greek Frozen Yogurt truck tour and will stop everywhere from local businesses to non-profits and backyard barbecues.

“It’s a fantastic way to connect with our fans one-on-one and deliver an experience you can’t get anywhere else.”
Want a free scoop (or two!)? Whereas traditional companies tend to sample at one pre-determined spot and hope people stumble upon them, Ben & Jerry’s is placing the power in its fans’ hands by letting them request the truck stops. Twitter savvy fans can tweet the truck, @benjerrystruck, and request a stop at their home or office.

“What is so special about our truck tour is that it gives us the opportunity to really listen to and engage with our community,” said Jay Curley, Senior Global Marketing Manager at Ben & Jerry’s. “It’s a fantastic way to connect with our fans one-on-one and deliver an experience you can’t get anywhere else.”

The truck will feature some of the finest in the company's Greek Frozen Yogurt flavor line up, including:

Liz Lemon: Lemon Greek frozen yogurt with a blueberry lavender swirl

Raspberry Fudge Chunk: Raspberry Greek frozen yogurt with fudge chunks

Banana Peanut Butter: Banana Greek frozen yogurt with peanut buttery swirls

Fans can get the scoop, literally, by following the truck on Twitter @benjerrystruck, or they can check out www.facebook.com/benjerry. Tweet the truck for a chance to bring some peace, love and new Greek Frozen Yogurt to your worthwhile event!
