Tomorrow, May 21st, is “Bump Day” at Baskin Robbins, where if you display your “bump” (i.e. your pregnant belly), you’ll get a free 3oz cup or cone of their new soft-serve ice cream. The promotion is only running in select stores in California, Chicago, New York, Nashville and El Paso.

And just in case you think this is fake, Snopes.com explains the truthiness of “Bump Day”.
