Did you know that Amazon’s Alexa actually has a favorite flavor of ice cream? And did you also happen to know that Wednesday, November 6, is Alexa’s birthday as well? You can celebrate Alexa’s big day with some sweet ice cream in select cities courtesy of Amazon.
The virtual assistant wants you to know that it’s her special day because for a limited time, you can swing by any of the participating ice cream truck pop-up locations below to snag your free scoop of ice cream. However, the selection is only limited to one option — Alexa’s favorite flavor, which is Mint Microchip. Hey, it’s genius when you think about it.
Even though you can wish her a happy birthday with any Alexa powered smart speaker, the cities that are offering this free scoop of ice cream are only limited to a handful. Cities participating in this special include Chicago, Miami, Minneapolis, New York City, San Francisco, and more. And yes, even Amazon’s hometown of Seattle will be celebrating the occasion. Just know that ice cream will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the locations.
For the rest of us that don’t live remotely close to the locations listed below, you can wish Alexa a happy birthday by simply saying “Alexa, happy birthday” between now and November 30. We won’t spoil everything that happens when you do that, but we’ll mention that you’ll unlock a musical moment with DJ Marshmello. Finally, there are some special deals happening right now on Amazon you can check out to celebrate the birthday — like saving $30 off the cost of the third-generation Amazon Echo Dot.
