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 They seem outdated at this point.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!
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 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.
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.
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.
Pretty much daily, I hear that song playing throughout my neighborhood.
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.
Yeah they drive around all summer in Norway. Hear them once or twice a week.
We do sometimes? Like there’s no route, maybe twice a summer an ice cream truck will stroll by with music and all.
They’re certainly around in New York.
Yeah, we have one that covers this side of town during early spring until late fall.
I’ve even seen them out in winter, but I suspect they’re selling warm products, not frozen, then.
Just had one in my cul de sac today, for the first time since we moved here over 5 years ago, so yeah, they’re around, but a bit rare, like a nice classic car, or an Oscar Meijer Weiner mobile
Oscar Meijer Weiner
That’s not how you spell my bologna’s second name
Haven’t seen the Weinermobile in like 20 years. Is that still a thing?
We have a bakery truck that drives around playing the ice cream truck music. Does that count?
Mister Softee has an app to track the truck’s whereabouts. I have absolutely used it to find his ass and hunt him down. Ice cream trucks have evolved into the 21st century. No one has decent soft serve anymore in my area. DQ closed like 5 years ago, and this dude is just driving around potentially bringing it to your door. Mister softee is the goat.
Usually when you hear the typical ice cream truck songs in Germany, it’s a dude rolling around looking for old metal.
