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 They seem outdated at this point.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
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 thought it was kinda mandatory for ice cream trucks to play Greensleeves.
We do sometimes? Like there’s no route, maybe twice a summer an ice cream truck will stroll by with music and all.
Still got them here in Australia. They’ve always been a rarity and somehow they’re always somewhere else where you can’t see them yet they sound close by but they seem about as common now as my childhood in the 90s.
The ice cream truck stopped coming to our estate about 5 years ago though there are plenty of kids about.
I do see them parked near playgrounds etc. quite a bit but not doing the rounds like they used to.
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.
Occasionally hear the jingle during summer
Yeah and it’s honestly super creepy.
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
We have dueling ice cream trucks around here.
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.
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!
I’ve seen one around town still. Although I suspect like 90+% of its business is just from parking right outside the town pool in the summer.
Pretty much daily, I hear that song playing throughout my neighborhood.
Yeah they drive around all summer in Norway. Hear them once or twice a week.
