As a adult I remember in the summertime having the ice cream truck come by my house when I lived in Jacksonville Arkansas. It being hot I always looked forward to that. I would listen for that familiar sound of music it played. When I heard it I would run outside to greet it. After I made my purchase, usually a pint of chocolate, my son and I would enjoy our frozen treats together.
When I was a kid living in St. Louis that ice cream truck was the greatest. They had all kinds of cones and flavors, it was almost like a traveling Dairy Queen. It really made my day when my mom would give me the money to buy a cone or some other tasty treat. To me it tasted better than anything we bought at the grocery store. I loved buying ice cream off the truck, as a kid it was the highlight of my day.
Maybe I liked the ice cream truck so much because most of my childhood was spent on a farm with no such thing making its rounds. I only saw things like that on TV and would think how nice it would be if we had one coming by. Even now if I see one when we are out I have the urge to flag it down and buy some ice cream. However now they don't seem to have the variety as the trucks when I a kid. Even the one in Jacksonville was only prepackaged ice cream.
Did you ever buy ice cream off a ice cream truck? Did it have a good variety?
