My neighborhood still has an ice cream truck. I’m curious how many other cities still have ice cream trucks. They seem outdated at this point.
EDIT: thanks for all the responses! Its surprising to me that ice cream trucks are still going, but that’s awesome!
Where I’m at in Texas, the ice cream truck runs almost year-round. I’m fairly certain they’re selling drugs, because the amount they charge for ice cream is too expensive to be worth it.
Na I get it. It’s hard to say no to something so special for a kiddo
Do you just straight up ask for meth or is there a code word?
What’s outdated about it?
People like ice cream, and with global warming even more, , so a truck strategically parked (at the school exit, in the park, in front of that tourist hot spot) will drag an audience. It may be a bit harder for the ones going from neighborhood to neighbourhood but it’s still a thing. We even have one stopping at my work parking, which is the opportunity for informal discussion with coworkers I see less
Absolutely that’s where I buy my weed.
We have two different ones that come through our neighborhood and drive me crazy because they both play an ice cream truck version of Stereo Love by Edward Maya and have been doing so for close to a decade now. Get a new song already!
I’ve worked repetitive, hot, boring jobs before, but I don’t know how the people working those trucks can keep their sanity with that music on repeat. I get sick enough of Christmas music in stores after hearing them like twice, and the blaring of an ice cream truck is 100x worse!
I think there’s one that comes through my neighborhood. I’ve never actually seen it, just heard it, and it never seems to… actually stop. When I was a kid, the ice cream trucks would stop and play their music for a while so people had time to grab their money and run outside. This one just seems to play a few bars of a song as it drives through, makes me wonder if it’s actually an ice cream truck at all.
We have one going B2B in the industry area around lunch time. I’ve got coworkers literally running down to get some on some days.
Yeah they drive around all summer in Norway. Hear them once or twice a week.
Same when I’m in Denmark, I love it. Too bad we don’t have them down in Italy.
Pretty much daily, I hear that song playing throughout my neighborhood.
We do sometimes? Like there’s no route, maybe twice a summer an ice cream truck will stroll by with music and all.
We have a bakery truck that drives around playing the ice cream truck music. Does that count?
Still a thing.
Our ice cream truck seems to also do coffee. I haven’t bought anything from it but I’ve seen it around
There was one that came around my old house on occasion before I had kids, and it sold amazing elote
same here, we have one that regularly comes to our part of the neighborhood, but most of the time its cold season, so there isnt much demand.
Yep, one stops just outside my house. When my daughter was little and asked what that sound was (the ice cream van music) I’d say it was the “music van” and it just plays music for people. Didn’t get away with that for very long!
We have dueling ice cream trucks around here.
