We infrequently get one of two, the Popeye the sailor man - pink icky truck and the "coming round the mountain" one that I like. I'm always disappointed when I hear the Popeye song. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816484 Wed, 29 May 2013 20:04:52 +0000 woodentulip 816484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up, we had these things called "Dickie Dees" that were coolers on bikes that would pedal around with a little bell going 'ting! ting! ting'! It wasn't loud and it wasn't that frequent either. Now, in our neighbourhood, there is a giant freakin' truck that comes around every freakin' night playing Music Box Dancer. I used to love the memories of the ice cream dude--not any more!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816459 Wed, 29 May 2013 19:56:32 +0000 Grace 816459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>.@mrs. 64: Haha! Do we live in the same neighbourhood? I've got a turkey in the straw van that comes almost every day. It's crazy, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816409 Wed, 29 May 2013 19:35:58 +0000 Caly 816409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one that comes through our neighborhood periodically...I've never gotten a look at his face but would agree that 9 times out of 10 they look like pedophiles. </p> <p>We do have one that comes through my office complex most days of the week (which I think is odd). For the first time today I got a look at the driver and...wait for it..he was kinda cute! Shocked I say. I may be in the market for some ice cream next time he comes ringin. Heh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816391 Wed, 29 May 2013 19:25:32 +0000 photojane 816391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. 64: haha do you live downtown? I live in a more suburban area so we actually have a few different ones! No creepy ones so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816379 Wed, 29 May 2013 19:18:04 +0000 mrs. 64 816379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: Haha ours is definitely the creepy kind. DH swears our future children will not be allowed to talk to that guy.</p> <p>@yoursilverlining: Yes with the driving .5 mph! That is why it takes so long for him to get around the neighborhood!</p> <p>@photojane: Yours must be way less annoying than mine. I heard a grown man humming turkey in the straw yesterday and I knew exactly where it came from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816353 Wed, 29 May 2013 19:07:16 +0000 prettylizy 816353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in the same neighbourhood that I grew up in, and the ice cream truck comes by now and again. The music alway makes me smile and think of my childhood :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816346 Wed, 29 May 2013 18:58:46 +0000 lawbee11 816346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one growing up and we have one now! I know it comes by both days on the weekends (not sure about during the week since I am at work). It comes pretty much year-round since we live in Texas :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816342 Wed, 29 May 2013 18:55:35 +0000 MapleMoose 816342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grew up on a dead end dirt road. No ice cream trucks in my neck of the woods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816269 Wed, 29 May 2013 17:53:25 +0000 pl0508 816269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every weekend in the summer !! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816260 Wed, 29 May 2013 17:50:00 +0000 photojane 816260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every weekend starting beginning of May &amp; everyday in the summer! I actually really like hearing it - it's nostalgic for me<br /> &amp; not loud enough to wake Sadie up! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816246 Wed, 29 May 2013 17:37:11 +0000 MrsRoo 816246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have one growing up, but the neighborhood we just moved into had one that has one that comes everyday. I bought some the first day we moved in ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816224 Wed, 29 May 2013 17:29:08 +0000 tinyperson 816224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw one today and really wanted a twistie cone! It's so hot and muggy today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816216 Wed, 29 May 2013 17:24:29 +0000 Dandelion 816216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Didn't growing up, since we lived on a farm in a rural area.</p> <p>Here, though, yep, they come, and I have to remember to keep cash handy cause me and DS love the ice cream man. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816205 Wed, 29 May 2013 17:16:02 +0000 yoursilverlining 816205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember one coming every so often (not very often) when I was a little kid. Sometimes we were allowed a treat; I always got a firecracker popsicle!! </p> <p>We live in a cul-de-sac where everyone except one house has little kids and the ice cream man must have figured that out. He's here every weekend, driving like .5 mph, tunes blasting, waiting *forever* for kids to come out, which they always do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816190 Wed, 29 May 2013 17:05:28 +0000 heffalump 816190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had polar cup. It's flavored ice and they sold candy. It's awesome, and the same guy still does it from when I was a kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816181 Wed, 29 May 2013 17:01:41 +0000 Honeybee 816181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had one growing up that would come by every week or so. We rarely got anything from it, though. I haven't seen an ice cream truck in our new neighborhood. In our old neighborhood, though, there were two ice cream trucks: one was a cute little truck driven by one of our neighbors wearing a wig and oversized glasses (cute) and the other was an old beat up van with no windows and "sergio's ice cream" written in spray paint across the side (super creepy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816150 Wed, 29 May 2013 16:43:11 +0000 T-Mom 816150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lived in a very rural area so the ice cream truck never came to my house growing up. However, it does come to my neighborhood now, and during dinner time! My DD is always begging me for ice cream but she never gets any. Maybe some day I will make her life complete by letting her have it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-a-neighborhood-ice-cream-truck#post-816136 Wed, 29 May 2013 16:35:12 +0000 mrs. 64 816136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One used to come by on a very non-regular basis when I was growing up and it was always a treat. My parents usually let me get something, although to be honest, I think I knew even then the ice cream they sell is not very good.</p> <p>Flash forward to now: There is a very annoying and creepy looking ice cream truck that patrols my neighborhood daily in warm weather blasting "Turkey and the Straw" at high decibels. Only Turkey and the Straw. It lasts about 1/2 hour daily and it drives me crazy. If I had a napping LO I would be furious! </p>
