Who remembers ice cream trucks?

What ever happened to them? I haven't seen one roaming the streets in maybe 10-11 years.

Slighty different but we still got them here in the UK

Carissimi · 70-79, F

I saw a few the last time I was there. Nice to know they haven’t gone completely extinct. @braveheart21

braveheart21 · 61-69, M

Oh hell no.... Lots still around... Lol@Carissimi

Offthetop · 51-55, M

We still have them. You can summon one with a cell phone app or get notifications when one is near, in addition to the traditional music they emit.

@Offthetop That’s pretty neat. 🍦🍧🍨🍡🍢

@empanadas Next time I’m in, time will be on my side as my local haunts have been subjugated by herr Wilhelm ( DeBlasio’s true last name) and w/o POV I can’t enter them, so I’ll seek out the ice cream trucks!

@soar2newhighs Enforcement by restaurants is haphazard.

Plus there a major lawsuit seeking injunction against it

@Slade With the exception of a few city agencies, the majority are haphazard.

I hear one once in a while, but never see one. The last time I saw one was in England in 2009.

I see them all of the time in the summer, at the park, the beach, around schools.
Still playing those crazy tunes haha

Slade · 56-60, M

I live right on a major park. I hear their music all the time.

They squat in high foot traffic areas rather than drive around

Rutterman · 46-50, M

I was just wondering about this the other day. Haven't seen any in my neighborhood for at least the past 5 years or more.

AntisocialTroll · 56-60, F

Ours come every Wednesday...during the winter...in Scotland! Never see or hear it in the summer...

SW-User

Aw sure, I love the nostalgia … kind of expect a psycho clown to be hiding in one too haha 🎈

@SW-User Like this guy?

SW-User

I saw one yesterday. It had neon lights all over it. Looked fucking mental.

exexec · 61-69, C

They are all around here, although sno-cone trucks are just as plentiful.

Lilymoon · F

I don't see them anymore either. 😕

Rose0415 · 36-40, F

@Lilymoon They are pretty much a thing of the past where I am.

I definitely do, but I haven’t seen any recently either. They weren’t ever very common in my neighborhood.
