When I was like 8 or so, we had this ice cream van that came by and played the Mario Bros. theme song. At first I though it was Mario who was handing out the ice cream to the kids, until one day I had enough money to buy one and found out it was actually a woman.
A childhood belief about ice cream vans

others believed things like this
- "Yooce cream, ice bean, we all scream for ice cream!"
This song was always stupid to me.— Shirley B. - i used to think the sun was a giant fireball like the ones from the mario brothers throw except a big one.— chris
- I used to believe that when i died it was like a super mario game... I had a certain number of lives.— David...waffles
- My parents told me that when the ice cream van was playing music, it means he's run out of ice cream :(Anon
- My dad told me that ice cream vans only play music when they have run out of ice cream. Anon
- My dad would tell me that if the ice cream van was playing a tune it meant that he had no ice cream left. Duh!Anon
