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 They seem outdated at this point.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
Yeah they drive around all summer in Norway. Hear them once or twice a week.
Pretty much daily, I hear that song playing throughout my neighborhood.
They’re certainly around in New York.
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.
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.
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’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.
We do sometimes? Like there’s no route, maybe twice a summer an ice cream truck will stroll by with music and all.
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.
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!
Yeah and it’s honestly super creepy.
I hear one sometimes, but either it zooms by when I’m not looking or it’s just going to the nearby playground.
When my kids were little, we tried to chase it down a few times without any luck
Occasionally hear the jingle during summer
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.
