Uber is known for providing one of the best and comfortable transports around the world. However, on Friday, July 15, 2106, Uber will be celebrating National Ice Cream Day with a unique twist. National Ice Cream Day actually falls on Sunday.
In honor of National Ice Cream Day, Uber is celebrating the day by partnering with frozen desserts maker Magnum and will deliver ice cream bars to more than 400 cities in over 69 countries, reports USA Today. In order to take advantage of this, Uber customers can simply open the app on their smartphones, set their location and click on the promotion—which is an ice cream tab. If available in your area, you will be seeing the icon showing it. You can also click on ‘Request ice cream’.
Pricing for the ice cream will vary, depending on city to city and country to country. In the US, Uber expects the price to be $10 for four ice cream bars. Uber will accept orders between 11am and 3pm in all countries.
Uber expects to deliver ice cream in unique ways, taking a cue from their past promotions. Your ice cream could arrive in classic cars in New York, cable cars in San Francisco, on segways and drones in Mexico and in canoes in Hawaii. Bangkok customers could see speedboats while Dallas guys could see carriages with a horse dressed as a unicorn.
While most of the countries will have their customers paying for the ice cream, there will be 20 cities where Uber’s UberEats food delivery service will send out free ice cream for their patrons. UberEats users will also get options to select a Klondike bar, which is another frozen dessert confection. These cities will include Austin, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago and San Francisco.
