"On December 1, I saw that all 25 Afters Ice Cream locations in Southern California will launch two Rick and Morty–inspired flavors: a caramel portal ice cream topped with green apple popping candy, and a brownie batter ice cream with sparkling sugar. The promotion also includes a limited giveaway: the first 50 customers at each shop get a Rick and Morty T-shirt and free ice cream starting at 6 p.m. on December 1." - Matthew Kang
