Thoughts on Ice Cream Trucks

Is it just me, or do ice cream trucks freak anyone else out? Here's why I'm scared of them:
  • They always look like beaten up old vans. Kind of scary looking.
  • What's with the freaky music? Honestly, it makes me want to run inside instead of running to get ice cream! The music always sounds sick. Like the battery that runs the music is running out or that it needs to be sped up. (Six Flags did a good job of imitating this kind of music in the Mr. Freeze ride when you have to stand in line for a long time. It even kind of weirds me out there.)
  • I'm sure the ice cream is fine, but just from the appearance of the truck, I don't have any desire to get any. It may make me want to make a Sonic run, but not run out to the ice cream truck.

I know ice cream trucks remind us of the 'old days', and probably many people like them. I really could do without them though. I never see anyone in my neighborhood buying ice cream from them, but they are on our street almost every night. The fact that they are in our neighborhood every night probably means that people are buying from them. But for now, I'll stick with the ice cream in my freezer or a run to Sonic!

Have to admit I was always running in the house and getting money for an ice cream sandwich. Love Banana Fudge Cycles too! Yummmm. Wish I would hear them coming down my street right now :)

I love ice cream trucks. Actually, last year after a Monday night band practice up at Berkenr, Daniel and I bought two stomic bomb popsicles. Mmm... I wish they would come by my house, now I want one... I can't understnad why they would creep you out, though, haha.
