I know they were more common back in the day. I see them every so often but they’ve been extremely rare. Do you remember what your favorite was? I think I got ice cream sandwiches. Even though you could buy them from the store, I guess it was just something about being a kid, having your own money, & picking something to eat right then & there. Not to mention hearing the quintessential music playing that alerted you to the truck coming.
I remember the old style trucks that look so cool and till this day there are ice-cream trucks or vans going around selling ice-creams still in the UK. hearing the song being played and the kids running to them asking for their ice cream and their family paying it £3 each time.
