I was told that when the ice cream van came around, if he was playing music (which he always was to announce his arrival), it meant he had run out of ice cream - how cruel was that!!!

This misleading information lasted a day.

I used to believe that when the ice-cream van man came around the neighbourhood, the jingle meant that he had run out of ice-cream. This is what my parents used to tell me. Is this bad parenting I wonder?

During the summer months a van would come round our housing estate selling icecreams. On entering the estate it would play music over the tannoy to announce its arrival. My mother explained to me that when the van played its music it ment that the van had run out of icecreams!

a friend told me once that, when she was a kid, her mum told her the jingly-jangly music noise that came out of the back of ice-cream vans meant they had run out of all their ice-cream. nice.

I told my nephew that when the ice cream van played a tune it meant he was out of ice cream. He believed it.

We were told if the music was playing from the ice-cream van that they'd run out of ice-cream.
Needless to say, excitement on seeing the van was always short-lived!
