i used to believe that there was music that came from the sky every sunday but it was really the ice cream man :)

A guy I know used to tell his kids that when the ice cream man played his chimes he didn't have any ice cream left. Saved him a fortune until they got wise to him!

Brown ice-cream trucks sold drugs, otherwise known as "pipe" to some of my strange friends.

My mom told us that the ice cream van was a "music truck", that rode around the neighborhood making nice music for everyone. Finally, my older sister went to day camp, and found out the truth. She said, "you know what! The music truck *sells ICE CREAM*!"

i used to think that the ice cream man went into hibernation in the winter....

For some reason, whenever the ice cream van came into our area, I always seemed to hear it and never see it. I used to think the tinkly type music came from heaven, and it was years before I finally put 2 and 2 together.

When I was little, my Mom told me that the truck that goes down the street in the summer was a "music truck," Later I came up and told her:
"Mommy guess what, the music truck delivers *ice cream.* (It was really an ice cream truck.)

when I was little I was told that the Icecream truck was actually the dog catcher coming to take all the kids pets away,so I wound hide my dog every time we heard the music, I only found out the truth 4 years later.

When I was younger I lived in a terraced street...Me and my friends would all play out the back, climb trees, knock on doors, that sort of stuff. Anyway, there were always icecream men that came, 3 or four a day. Well because all kids have eyes bigger than there bellies, i wanted an icecream from every van that came. My mam clearly didnt like this so she told me that all the icecream had spiders in them except one van who was coincedently the cheapest. From then on I believed this and my mam saved lots of money!

when i was about two my mum said the ice cream vans only came on a sunday. So if i heard the music on another day my mum sayed it was naughty boys playing music and in winter she said the ice cream van only sold drinks. i believed this for about 4 years.

I used to believe the ice cream van was a birdy. Because my mum never wanted me to know the truth...

when I was Little The Ice Cream Truck began to come Through the Neighbor Hood My Mom Said It was a Hot Dog Truck
I Believed This Until One Day when I was about 5 or 6 I Was on my Way to ( I Can't Remember ) With My Grandma we were Traveling in the Car as It was coming around the court and then I Saw it was An Ice Cream Truck

Joe

when i was younger my mum used to tell us that the ice-cream van was a monster so when ever it came we used to run in side and hide

Elly

The ice cream van never stopped for long enough for you to get your shoes on and get your money and it only stopped outside so I used to run out in bare feet. I saw some other kids do this too and I actually thought, when I was 5, that this was some sort of ritual to the ice cream man so he'd give us free ice-cream! Never did work though, lol.
