From what I have read you are not supposed to get the cubes on the dining plan but some have received them with it so as with alot of things don't expect it to happen but maybe tink will be around and sprinkle some fairy dust. You can also pick them up before hand at some stores. I found them at Walgreens about a month ago and picked up 2 packages of 2 - so 4 cubes and I think they were $4 per package.
