I realized that where I live now, the ice cream truck hardly comes in the summer. As a child, walking home from school, it would come a lot. Though most people had to chase after it, seeing it never stopped for us. Don't know it's because they didn't see us or not. Just wondering, I like ice cream but I hardly see the ice cream truck where I live.

lol. Yeah I love the catchy tunes they put as they drive by. But I hate when it doesn't stop for children! Such a disappointment to see their faces after it leaves and they have no ice cream. I still remember the guy on the bicycle selling ice cream! Atleast the people in the truck don't have to pedal.

We do have an ice cream truck in our neighborhood. I haven't noticed it recently, though. It make my dog bark like crazy when she hears it driving around. I never see it stop for kids. I guess no kids live around me.

The ice cream truck goes down my street several times a day. It makes a lot of noise, which I try to tune out while gardening. I lived on a farm as a child and there weren't any ice cream trucks.

Here in New York City the ice cream truck can play it's music when driving around but when they park to sell the ice cream they have to shut if off. Too many people complained about the music.

Yes in Malta, in Fgura it comes in the morning, in the afternoon and evening. But I do not buy, since I can make it with my mums ice cream machine. My favourites are strawberry and banana

The ice cream truck, how this machine bugs me in the summer where I live! By this I mean, we never see or hear it at all in winter, yet as soon as the sun peeps its head out for more than a couple of hours its round not just once but 3 or 4 times a day! We come out of school, its parked right outside the gates and it drives the parents mad because then they have to say no or go a different way to avoid it. They were made to park further away because of the parents complaining and also now the school has started selling their own at a very reasonable price and the proceeds go back into the school which is a brilliant idea because the prices the ice cream vans charge is ridiculous!! So yes the ice cream van does come round in summer, too much in my opinion.
