Do it. Be the office hero.

The Ben & Jerry's Food Truck will be in Dallas through June 6, doling out free samples in locations determined (somewhat) by your tweets.

If you command a mob large enough and can get the attention of the account administrators, they will roll up on your 6 and make with the scoops of two flavors vying to be named Ben & Jerry's Taste of Texas. Apparently it's up to us to decide.

Will you favor Bourbon Pecan Pie, the incumbent due to its actual ice cream flavoring, or Bar-B-Que Peach, a Bernie Sanders-like challenger?
