If it's free, it's for me. There's another reason to check out Topgolf this summer. The Topgolf ice cream truck is rolling through the Tampa Bay locations next month and they'll be serving FREE ice cream!

What's a better way to spread joy than with free ice cream? Topgolf is getting more people to come out to their locations with the Ice Cream Truck tour. In a new partnership with Pepsi Co. products, they'll be giving away free ice cream, sodas, Topgolf swag, and more!

Starting in California and ending in Massachusetts, the Topgolf ice cream truck will be taking a "tour" throughout the country visiting 30+ Topgolf locations along the way. Recently a lot of artists have skipped Florida on their new tours, but not this time.

The Topgolf ice cream truck will be stopping at the St. Pete and Tampa locations on Tuesday, August 13. Which is the perfect day to stop since Topgolf offers half-priced golf every Tuesday. If you can't make it, the Topgolf ice cream truck will hit a few other locations in cities across Florida in August. They'll be in Orlando on August 10, and also in Jacksonville in August as well.

Topgolf is one of our favorite spots to beat the summer heat. Sure you're still swinging golf balls outside but it's 100% covered and there are plenty of fans surrounding you to help cool down. For more info on Tampa Bay Topgolf locations, click here.

Even if you're not a golf expert, Topgolf is fun for the whole family. Personally, I'd rather hit balls in a cooler/shaded environment then head out to a driving range or course during this time of year.

Publix today announced their new lineup of limited time summer ice cream flavors you'll see in stores soon. There are 8 new summer Publix ice cream flavors in total. 5 have my name written all over them. The other 3 you can have.

You may already have some of these in the freezers at your Publix now. But the limited-time summer flavors will disappear August 30, according to the Publix website.

You might see a Publix ice cream truck with the new flavors There are 3 Tampa are stops coming up. Look for them in Lakeland June 29 at Common Ground Park, in Tampa at Sparkman Wharf June 30, or at the St. Pete Pier July 4.

The 3 Summer Publix ice cream flavors I'm going to pass on:

Before I get to the 5 summer Publix ice cream flavors I've gotta try, here are the 3 runner ups that aren't so much for me... but you might like. I'm not an almonds fan so Coffee Almond Fudge will be a no for me. I'm not so much into pecans either so I'm going to pass on the Caramel Turtle Cheesecake. And my lack of love for nuts continues... I'm going to say "no thanks" to Hula Hula Macadamia.

Now, here are the 5 I'm going to be definitely looking for that BOGO on.

#5: Cold Brew Cookies and Crème

Cold Brew Cookies and Crème

This one doesn't take me back to my childhood so much like the others do.  I didn't become a coffee drinker until way late in life.  It started when I was a morning guy on the radio in California.  That caffeine kick was a necessity when I had to be up every morning at 5.  A mashup with chocolate sounds good to me.  Publix describes this one as "cold brew coffee flavored ice cream with crème filled chocolate cookie pieces throughout."  So is it ok to eat this one first thing in the morning?  Asking for a fri... me, asking for me.

#4: Marry Me Strawberry

Marry Me Strawberry

I didn't get a chance to get over to Plant City for the Florida Strawberry Festival this year.  So this will have to do.  Publix describes it as "strawberry flavored ice cream with ribbons of strawberry flavored sauce, studded with pieces of white chocolate flavored strawberry pecan bark."  Now I mentioned I'm not a big pecans fan.  But I'll still take this one for a spin for sure.  

#3: Buckeyes & Fudge

Buckeyes & Fudge

Any dessert with peanut butter and chocolate is an instant yes for me.  I'm Team Reese's Peanut Butter Cups all the way.  This one isn't affiliated with the candy, but it sounds like the ice cream equivalent to me.  Publix describes it as "peanut butter ice cream loaded with chocolatey covered peanut butter buckeye candies and swirls of thick fudge."  I'm 100% in.

The ice cream truck menu only needed one thing to make me happy as a kid.  Ice cream sandwiches.  As simple as they are, that's what summer tastes like to me.  So I'm way into this one.  Publix describes it as "chocolate ice cream with decadent chocolate cookie crumb swirls and chunks of flavored chocolate sandwich cookies."

#1: Lemon Berry Bliss

You probably heard me talk about this one on the show today. This one's got my name all over it. I love lemon flavored desserts. And being a kid from Maine, blueberries have always been a part of my life. Blueberry muffins, blueberry pancakes, I'll even buy blueberry coffee when I see it. So to see these 2 flavors together? Psh. No brainer. I'm all in. Publix describes it as lemon crème flavored ice cream with lemonade flavored flakes and blueberry flavored swirls.
