I Loathe The Ice Cream Man / myLot

When I was a kid we looked forward to the ice cream man in the summertime. With a dime you could get a treat and if you had a quarter you could get something really good. It was real ice cream, refreshing, cool, and tasty. You knew when he was coming around by the sound of the bell. Now you know he's in your neighborhood with the most obnoxious, annoy tunes that play over and over nonstop. The junk they sell can only be described as "frozen chemicals" that is not only horrible tasting but also leaves a nasty aftertaste and you practically have to take out a loan to buy anything. You know when they come around when you hear "La Cucaracha" blasting out or that really obnoxious one where someone is screaming "Hello" . Somehow I don't think of ice cream when a song about cockroaches is playing. I find the thought rather stomach turning to be honest.

It's not the best choice for a song is it? Not really good for selling any sort of food!!

Not to mention it is insulting to the Hispanics who live here.

My kids always wanted the ones that looked like cartoon characters. Whatever they used to color it with tasted horrible.
