In what’s become a fall tradition, create-your-own ice cream specialist Cold Stone Creamery is hosting the tenth annual “World’s Largest Ice Cream Social” tonight—which includes a free serving of a new flavor called Sprinkled With Wishes Creation.

On Tuesday, September 27, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., Cold Stone Creamery locations around the country are giving away free 3 oz. samples of a new concoction named Sprinkled With Wishes Creation: sweet cream ice cream mixed with brownie, topped with rainbow sprinkles and hot fudge.

The giveaway is part of Cold’s Make-A-Wish month, in which stores collect donations ($1 suggested) for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. To top the month off, Cold Stone Creamery has hosted the “World’s Largest Ice Cream Social,” which features a new free ice cream creation for all comers each September, for ten years and running.

    The Fee That Credit Card Issuers Are Leaving Behind

    Banks, the thinking goes, have never met a fee they didn’t like. Yet one credit card charge that has been standard for years—the “foreign transaction” or “foreign currency” fee, which tacks on an extra 3% or so to every hotel stay, meal, or tchotchke purchased outside the U.S.—is slowly but surely being dropped by more and more card issuers. Why?
