When the ice cream truck came to your neighborhood, what was your selection?

Banana flavored popsicles. I haven't seen them since I was a kid.

We still have the Ice cream van come around ..... I never go because these days the ice cream is expensive and made from chemicals.... but back in the day when it was good quality, if I ever got the chance to buy an ice cream from the van I would buy a 99...

 

[Ted01]

Oooo.... a chocolate eclair bar, of course!!

 

[RadishRose]

A toasted almond bar from the Good Humor man.

 

[AnneTeak]

Love love love the strawberry shortcake on a stick. That crunchy topping is delicious!

 

[Rossana]

Vanilla ice cream with a chocolate coating!

 

[Rae]

Fudgsicle was one I liked.

 

[hollydolly]

we have so many varieties of Ice cream vans in the uk....

 

[Rae]

@hollydolly, that is quite a lot of ice cream trucks and some so unique. I remember just a short one that said ice cream on the side, with music and a bell when it came around.

The double frozen Popsicles were a nickel but I had to break the two parts apart and share with my sister.

We'd always argue about what flavor to get....grape? strawberry? orange? "YOU GOT TO CHOOSE YESTERDAY!!! NO, I DIDN'T!!! YES, YOU DID!!! YOU ALWAYS GET TO CHOOSE!!! MOMMMMMMM!!"

There wasn't any of those vans above until I was a teen.... prior to that the only ice cream seller that came around was this....

I never got an ice cream from him, because my mother could never afford it... but I was always fascinated to watch other people get ices out of that box

OMG, I loved the ice cream truck so much! We had 2 different ice cream trucks when I was a kid. I bought different kinds from each. One, Bungalow something or other, had these bars on a stick coated in a crumbly chocolate. The other was Good Humor and I just got whatever chocolate anything they had.

There's one that comes to the park about every day the sun is out and I feel bad for the driver because they keep playing the "Camptown Races" song and you can imagine doing that for say even a couple hours a day. Would drive you insane probably.....

It's just a mini-van and the driver is abrupt. I over heard them saying "So whaddya want now?"

Banana flavored popsicles. I haven't seen them since I was a kid.

They were my favourite too!!

In my neck of the woods they were called 'ice blocks'. Not sure if the kids still call them that, probably more likely to call them ice lollies nowadays. I must ask my grandkids.

This is one of the ice cream vans that used to operate in my town in the 1950s. Couldn't say if it was the one that came to my street but it would have been similar.

This time of the year when it's really hot, I dread opening my front door to visitors in case they ask me for ice cream.... I know I keep quite a stock of ice cream.... but it's all mine.

 

[OneEyedDiva]

I really don't remember. But I know I used to love for the ice cream truck to come.

I noticed an ice cream truck on our street the other day, shouted to my hubby, HEY, AN ICE CREAM TRUCK! By the time I ran for some money...it was at the end of the block. It never stopped .

Ours comes around every evening in summer... the kids have to know when he's coming because if he stops and no-one comes to him in 2 minutes then he drives off to the next stop.. so they have to be quick

 

[hawkdon]

I cannot remember if there was a ice cream truck in our little
rural town, I doubt it tho....in this town the trucks don't even
pause on this street, prob due to lack of kids on the street...

 

[PeppermintPatty]

We were not allowed to purchase ice cream off the ice cream truck.

I was always torn. The rocket pops were the biggest, but the cones in the plastic had a gumball at the bottom.
