Ice Cream Truck PIP (nttgp)

Stucas · May 2011

The ice cream man just went by and it made me think of my favorite treat when I was little. I can never find it now, so my super awesome DH is on a mission to find me one.

What was your favorite thing to get from the ice cream truck?

Mine was Bubble Play! Cherry flavored with a baseball gumball with something written on it, maybe it was possible to win another free ice cream on it? Maybe that's why I liked it, lol

EDIT: Maybe they don't have ice cream trucks everywhere, so if you didn't have a truck feel free to include one you got from the boring grocery store, lol

Boo! We lived out in the sticks growing up. We hardly ever saw the mail truck forget about an ice cream truck!

That is probably going to sound so weird but where I grew up there was no Ice Cream truck...a favorite cold treat that I loved were Push-up Pops

That is ok. I am a stronger adult for it...made me the person I am today, plus we made our own ice cream using:

Yum-o!

These were my favorite!

The ice cream truck still comes around in my neighborhood, haven't stopped him yet though, I almost did the other day!

I prefered the italian ice truck to the ice cream truck, but unfortunately, ice cream trucks were more common. Screwball.

I loved these!!

I usually got the snow cones with the bubble gum in the bottom. I don't remember what they were called. Our ice cream truck always went through the neighborhood really fast. You pretty much had to be outside with money already in your pocket when it went through or you weren't going to catch it. I chased it about 6 blocks once before someone else stopped it. You'd think the driver would have seen me chasing him in his mirrors and stopped, I guess he didn't want the sales that badly.

We had ice cream trucks and Orange push-ups were my fav!

I don't know who to pip on my iPad but when ever Joe the ice cream man came down our street or to summer camp I would get fun dip, the stick was my favorite part.

MittenLady · May 2011

This totally brought back childhood.. I grew up in Chicago and summers were an ice cream truck musical. Now.. I live in a small town where they think ice cream trucks are only in movies.. lol

I have a younger brother and not ashamed to admit I watched wrestling with him! We used to love these bad boys:

I was all over these guys and anything like it: flavored ice cream with gumballs

Peglet · May 2011

In MA near the RI border, we had the Del's Lemonade truck. It's a frozen lemonade slush. I still remember sitting on the curb after dinner in the summer with my quarters. I think it was 50 cents for a cup. It's delicious! Just lemon and cherry flavors - the perfect cool summer treat. And it didn't play annoying music - just had a bell that clanged.

Hell yes! Gotta love the Choco Taco!

KayteandRob · May 2011

YUMMY!! They also sold these at the snack bar at the pool we went to when I was a kid. I could eat these everyday!

celestialnyte · May 2011

Mine was the Bugs Bunny pop ... or the Tweety one.

Yesterday I just did an ice cream social for children diagnosed with Autism and we had the local ice cream truck help out. It was such a blast from the past for me!

mrssoprano · May 2011

I don't remember having an ice cream truck in our neighborhood, but when we went to Daytona, there was one on the beach and I'd eat this:

Tootsie1213 · May 2011

Fun thread, OP! My favorite was the fudge/banana bomb pops Smile

Ella85 · May 2011

I also used to love LIme Big Sticks but they don't make them anymore

RequiresExalted · May 2011

Maybe it wasn't this one exactly, but something like it. Cartoon face with gumball eye/nose.

meaganbrand · May 2011

we weren't allowed to get ice cream from the ice cream trucks. my family always said it wasn't safe (lived a sheltered life).. BUT.. DH is a huge fan of the ice cream truck so he buys me treats sometimes now when it comes around (only has been the last couple of years i've gotten to experience this). So far, the tear jerker bomb pops are my favorite. DH always gets the UFOs, and our bulldog gets regular bomb pops. and the best part is.. THEY"RE SAFE!

UK2ME · May 2011

Since I grew up in the UK, my favourite ice cream from the ice cream van was vanilla with a 99 flake...

manda42 · May 2011

Not sure if it's a Canadian thing, but we didn't have ice cream TRUCKS.... we had what we called "Dickee-Dee". He was either a boy or a man that would ride a bike through the neighbourhood selling ice cream from a cooler in the front of his bike. Did anyone else have Dickee-Dees??

My fave is the Bomb Pop!

Ok... this has nothing to do with ice cream... but you totally just brought back a crazy memory. My freshman year of college we would totally drink in the co-ed dorm I lived in. We would get whatever was left in the vending machine in the lobby of our building from the week to mix with whatever cheap, smuggled in booze we had. Tahitian Treat was usually one of the only things left, so we mixed it with EVERTHING.

OMG I LOOOVEEEE THESE!! When DH and I first moved in together Good Humor was still making this variety of Fire Cracker but then they stopped. We would buy like 5 boxes at a time because I was so afraid they would stop making them again...and then they did stop Now that I know Blue Bunny made them at one point I can try to find those, lol
