To obtain the free ice cream, viewers should tune in each evening 8 p.m. - midnight (EDT) as HSN show hosts taste-test various flavors of Dreyer's/Edy's popular light ice cream live on the network. At the end of the tasting, a secret key word of the day will be revealed and viewers will be directed to log on to http://www.hsn.com/ , where the first 1000 people to enter the special key word into the site's search engine will receive a certificate, good for a complimentary 1.75-quart carton of Dreyer's/Edy's Slow Churned Light Ice Cream.
