BROOKLYN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — The world's first Häagen-Dazs is celebrating its 40th anniversary Saturday with four hours of free-scoop mayhem. (If that sounds overly dramatic, consider this: the official Häagen-Dazs mascot, Coneman, will be there.)
Everyone who drops by the store's 120 Montague St. location between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. will receive a free scoop.

What's more, one guest will win free ice cream for a year (or, more specifically, $480 worth of free ice cream, as a company spokeswoman confirmed), while others will win gift cards worth $10, $15 and $25.
The day also marks the official re-opening of the store after it was closed earlier this year for major renovations, as reported by the Brooklyn Paper.
