It seemed like months ago when it was announced that a Ben & Jerry's scoop shop was finally opening in Malaysia. And in Pyramid, of all places.
Because it's the first scoop shop in the country, they're giving 10,000 free scoops of ice cream from 12 - 8 p.m. on a Monday. I hadn't realised that it was a public holiday until I gave it some more thought.
Because of chores, I only got in line around 11 something. The event itself seemed well thought out and organised: they laid out green carpeting and split in several segments (so as not to impede other people's business?), had games (ring toss and tic-tac-toe) and water boys. You could even play video games while in line. I was mostly curious as to what the first 1000 people in line were gonna get - merch ke, barang lain ke...? The line behind me went further behind than I expected.

| There were several people with tablets (to register people/gather data) |
I was #181. I asked the ground crew what time the first person got in line - they said 10 am (when the mall opened, but probably as early as 9.45 am).

Settled for a scoop of Tonight Dough (Jimmy Fallon's ice cream).
Kinda a bit sad that it was just a voucher for free scoop, but at least have another reason to come back again. |
Probably took about an hour, almost two. Line was moving briskly, so no complaints from me.
I wonder if this means we finally get to participate in Free Scoop Day next year...?
