    We used to have a Mr Whippy ice cream van that always use to come down my street, he use to play this little tune that scared me for some reason. anyways now that i have moved i never see him anymore, but i did see him for the first time in like forever by Western Springs... still playing that scary tune! *shudders*

    But i do miss the times when i use to find any spare change i had so i could buy an ice cream from Mr Whippy... vanilla ice cream with a chocolate flake in it.. too yummy =D

    Ice cream bikes are fun. I miss Ice Cream vans. The closest thing is a giant hunking ice cream truck permanently parked in downtown toronto.

    They're all over the place in the summer. Most of them don't speak english though.

    None go by my new house. I don't remember the last time I bought ice cream from a truck. I've never seen a van, though.

    I've never seen one in my life. I don't think Iowa has them.

    Yeah, we have them in our neighborhood, especially in the summer. We live in a new subdivision, so there's a lot of construction going on and the ice cream van preys on the unsuspecting construction workers. What bugs me though is that the ice cream van plays this obnoxious tune that's really short over and over and over at a really loud volume and it gets so annoying.

    We had like 3 different vans coming to our neighborhood selling ice cream in the late spring and summer and one played the Pop Goes the Weasel song and my mom got so pissed at the song she went up to the van and told him not to come anymore so we lost a truck but we had two others so it wasn't a big problem.

    When I was 7 we had an ice cream truck that ran through the neighborhood everyday. I never had any money so I never could buy any ice cream I used to always run to it and watch the other kids buy ice cream though. One day he gave me some free jolly ranchers (the little square ones) and I was SO happy. That guy was my hero.

    Another time when I was 17 I was driving down a road with my girly Cher, and this girl Nichi to pick this other girl up and we saw an ice cream truck going down a side road. I stopped the truck immediatly where it was and we all jumped out and bought ice cream. It was fun
