Spring is Here! Here’s How to Get A Free Rita’s Ice Today
The first Rita’s Italian Water Ice still stands in Bensalem, PA which is just a couple of miles from my childhood home in Northeast Philadelphia. It was founded by a firefighter who named it after his wife, Rita. It was the eighties and I remember my friends and I would ride our bikes there many times throughout the Spring and Summer. We’d always be there for the first day of Spring for the free water ice.
All these years, and over five hundred franchises later Rita’s Italian Ice continues to celebrate the first day of spring with its 31st annual free Italian Ice giveaway.
In order to take advantage of the complimentary sample of water ice you just stop by any one of Rita’s participating locations today. You’ll receive a free Italian Ice in the flavor of your choice, including their new gummy bear flavor.
Rita’s app users can also enter to win Free Ice for a Year by entering the promo code “SPRING23” into their Rita’s app today.
So, what’s the best Rita’s Italian Water Ice flavor? In a recent survey, one hundred percent of those surveyed said the best Rita’s Italian Water Ice flavor is mango. To be fair I should mention that the survey was conducted just a few seconds ago and the only participant was me.
However, if I included Maryann and Cande in the survey it would be a three-way tie between, Cherry (Maryann), Root Beer (Cande), and Mango.
Other flavors you can choose from include Alex’s Lemonade (lemon), Kiwi-strawberry, Banana, Blueberry, Mango-orange, Blue Raspberry, Bubblicious, Cantaloupe, Chocolate, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Cotton Candy, Florida Orange, Georgia Peach, Green Apple, Honeydew, Island Fusion, Juicy Pear, Key Lime, Ocean Spray Cranberry, Passion Fruit, Pina Colada, Pineapple, Raspberry, Raspberry Lemonade, Strawberry, Strawberry Colada, Strawberry MargaRita, Swedish Fish, Tropical Punch, Vanilla, Watermelon, and Wild Black Cherry.
Rita’s Central Jersey locations include Hillsborough, Flemington, Hamilton, Mercerville, and Ewing.
