Ben & Jerry's, the Vermont-based ice-cream company that features flavors named for hippies, rock stars, and talk-show hosts, is bringing its ice-cream truck to Miami for a six-week tour.

Beginning today, the Ben & Jerry's Scoop Truck is rolling across Miami, delivering free treats to community events, nonprofits, offices, and neighborhoods.

The best part: The truck will go where you tell it!

Ben & Jerry's wants people to tweet locations where the truck should serve Late Night Snack, Chocolate Chip, Cherry Garcia, and other favorites.

The truck is looking for locations in West Miami tomorrow and will stop at Whole Foods Market in Coral Gables this Wednesday (times TBA).

To get the "scoop" on locations or make a suggestion, follow the truck at @BenJerrysTruck (#OMGFreeBenJerrys).
