This January, come give blood and get ice cream – on us.

I was wondering why they would be giving ice cream in January, but I see it's a coupon to get ice cream from the store, so the store is generating foot traffic during a slow business month... Clever. :)

Oh, if you have the freezer space ice cream in January is great, you can bring it home on the train without it melting all over the platform.

I remember a news story one about how ice cream shops in Boston sold more ice cream in winter than they did in the summer. Don't have any recent numbers, though. People can be weird.

It's possibly calorie-loading to face the hardship of winter. :)
