Well it sucks that it doesn't come your way. The ice cream truck went through my neighborhood about once a week last summer, but it hasn't came through yet this year. Hopefully when it warms up it will.

The closest thing I have to an Ice cream truck is the Schwans man. He has some pretty good ice cream too.

Growing up we had the Good Humor truck and Mr Softee.  I never got Mr Softee only Good Humor.  They sold candy as well.  I still remember the tune.  I remember when I saw it coming I'd stop playing outside and run in the house to get some change for some ice cream.  My father kept a can of change on top of the cabinet and I'd have to jump up to get the can of change because I couldn't reach it or I'd pull up a chair and climb up to get it.  Then a couple years later this guy had a snowball truck and he'd come by and call out Snowballs!  the way he said it was funny.  Ahh memories.

I remember the ice cream truck...we used to wave it down when we were younger. We live outside of town so it would just past our house..but we would stay outside and wave it down. I havent seen an ice cream in a long time!!

I stopped getting the ice cream truck in my neighborhood six or so years ago because their little truck couldn't make it up my humongous hill.

I was ice cream- deprived...

We still have one that runs through our neighborhood. Unfortunately, because of the bad economy he charges inflated prices for his stuff. I guess he has to do the to stay in business.  :BangHead:

I can't get any ice cream, because I'm diabetic, but we do have one that comes on our street in the summer!

We have the ice cream trucks come thru all during the summer.  But I don't particularly like the ice cream trucks of today.  Nothing beats the soft cone ice cream, that was the best. :heart:

Post by: mommagoes on May 01, 2010, 09:22:33 am
as a kid i remember the ice cream truck would come down our street 3 or 4 times a day in the summer, maybe twice a day in spring or fall. but i have noticed that where i live now we are lucky if the ice cream truck comes down our street once a week. i think it might have something to do with the number of kids in the area. where i grew up there were so many kids on our street that the ice cream truck would have a line at the window when it stopped. where i live now there are maybe 5 or 6 houses with kids and i have never seen anyone stop the ice cream truck. so he probably just decided not to waste his time on my street anymore. which is fine by me because i always make sure i have ice cream and posicles in my freezer!  :)

I have always LOVED ice cream but when I was growing up everyone would call it the "snow cone truck" because that was all they had:  stupid flavored ice!  How does that possibly compare with ice cream?

Post by: bungholiotgn on May 07, 2010, 08:09:45 am
we still get the occasional ice cream man truck in our neighborhood, but I remember as a kid sitting by the window waiting to hear the music to run outside and scream ICE CREAM!
Title: Re: i miss the icecream truck .
Post by: acurtsinger2 on May 07, 2010, 08:20:27 am
When I was a kid we use to listen for that silly music, and it was great not to have to walk to the store, or wait for dad to get home with the car to take us to the icecream stand......

The ICT still comes around our area in the summer.  I guess it depends on where you live.

Post by: terrielinderman on September 21, 2010, 03:39:03 pm
Yes ice cream trucks in area are scarce meaning might see one once a month or something. Then when it does come it is 2 dollars for a75 ice cream from walmart so thats where we go for our ice cream treats these days.

yes where i live there has been a ban on icecream trucks coz one 3 yr old got killed ..by getting hit by a car going after the icecream truck 35 yrs ago. the ban was lifted some time early last year or this year. her family wasnt happy at all but they put all these new rules into play to make these kids safe and help keep these kids safe nowadays. i knew about it and my mother had got icecream from it but i have never seen it since the ban was lifted.

Don't feel too bad, I can still remember milk being delivered at the doorstep. As a kid, I would wait for the milkman to bring our milk.  It was soon after that deliveries were stopped and you had to buy it at the store.
It seems there are fewer ice cream trucks that come around.

I used to love getting ice cream when the truck stopped in front of my house.  However, he hasn't stopped on my block in years so I do not get to have any more ice cream sandwich's in the summer.  >:(
