Consider this an invitation to chill out. Your office probably doesn’t have a slip ‘n slide, and running through the sprinklers likely won’t go over well with your boss. Don’t sweat it – you can still feel like a kid again by ordering ice cream on demand with #UberIceCream.

This Friday, July 24, 2015, we’re bringing a frozen favorite back just in time to celebrate The Motor City’s 314th birthday!

This is a global promotion with local flavor, and this year we’ve teamed up with The Detroit Pop Shop to serve up frozen treats with flavors that are all uniquely inspired by Detroit!
