Still stuck at your desk, huh? You deserve an ice cream cone, the kind that Baskin-Robbins is scooping for 31 cents until 10 pm tonight.

The original store opened in Glendale, California in 1945 and was called Snowbird. Though there are plenty of shops in the US these days, there are also tons of them worldwide. (Japan alone has more than 850.)

We don't normally go for chains 'round here, but, hey, cheap ice cream. And aren't you sick of Pinkberry by now?

Snowbird? (none / 0)

not sure I would've bought a cone at "Snowbird". When I was in Japan they were calling B&R simply "31". Catchy, I thought. The best part about "31" in Japan was because I was obviously a foreigner, locals loved to buy me an ice cream - it happened more than once!!
