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 They seem outdated at this point.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!
They’re certainly around in New York.
Yeah and it’s honestly super creepy.
We do sometimes? Like there’s no route, maybe twice a summer an ice cream truck will stroll by with music and all.
It’s the middle of winter, haven’t seen one for a few months, but they’re common in summer.
Absolutely that’s where I buy my weed.
Our ice cream truck seems to also do coffee. I haven’t bought anything from it but I’ve seen it around
Still a thing.
What’s outdated about it?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 😅
One just started coming through my neighborhood like 2 weeks ago, and there’s a kid a few houses down who seems to always be ready to run out and stop the truck. Takes easily 10+ minutes for the music to fade out. Like, I hate to be a grumpy old man, but that music drives me fucking nuts! I’m on the verge of trying to beat the kid to the truck just so I can bribe the guy to drive away as fast as possible
We have dueling ice cream trucks around here.
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?
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.
I miss the corn man
They used to sell illegal ciggies in the UK don’t know if they still do
I’m uncertain of your instance membership.
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.
