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 They seem outdated at this point.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!
One drove by my house a few weeks ago. Before that? I haven’t seen one in the wild in years.
I haven’t seen a truck in a long time, but there are still dudes on bicycles selling Mexican ice cream and whatever those orange uh… Ring thingies are.
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.
They’re certainly around in New York.
Pretty much daily, I hear that song playing throughout my neighborhood.
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.
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.
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 live in a major city un Germany. One of the big ice cream parlors has several trucks that go to parks and areas with many offices. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one driving through a residential neighbourhood.
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
There is a local one who comes through during the day once a day.
I live in a small town, but we definitely have a couple of them floating around.
Ditto. If you don’t work from home, it’s likely you just miss it.
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What’s outdated about it?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
You have to get out of your house and talk to someone, you can’t just order it on the phone. It’s def old school 😅
most people aren’t antisocial, my dad goes out of his way to use the manned tills at the store because he wants to chat with the chashier…
My neighborhood has them. There are adult versions now, they are just called food trucks.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a food truck drive around looking for customers. They’re usually just stationed in one place for the day.
Food trucks move to good spots all the time and many of them have apps that tell people were they are setting up.
I have seen many food trucks that just sell deserts and ice cream…
