when i was about 3, i can remember an ice cream van coming down our road ever so often... it used to play greensleeves, and it scared me silly! i used to hide in the house and cry. it still sends shivers down my back.

When I was a kid, my parents called ice cream trucks "music trucks". They didn't want me to know that the trucks sold ice cream, 'cause they knew I would be demanding ice cream whenever I heard the trucks driving by. I eventually caught on that the trucks sold ice cream and weren't driving around the neighborhood for the sole purpose of playing music. But to this day I still call ice cream trucks "music trucks", and people look at me weird.

when i was little, my mom told me that the ice cream man tried to kidnap little kids, and he froze them and made them into ice cream bars, i have not gotten anything from an ice cream truck since

Our mum told us that the ice-cream van noise was a children's ambulance

When I was little i always wondered where those little alligator's on little boy Izod shirts came from. I asked my brother, and he told me the ice cream man. It wasnt until a few years ago that I realized he just tricked me!

my dad told me that ice cream vans only play a tune when they're driving away.
i only figured this one out by standing watch at the gate for hours until one came along and then i realised the truth

You get poisoned if you eat ice cream from an ice cream van with "dirty" (i.e. black) wheels.
