Ice cream vans only play music when they've run out of ice cream

When I was little my grandmother always invited me an ice cream cone and it was the best thing we always went to the door of the house and the man passed by in his cart and when the music played it was because there was no ice cream anymore.

When I was little, my Mom told me that if the ice-cream truck played music, that meant it was out of ice-cream. I believed her that entire summer.

Due to my mother being a devout nutritionist, I used to believe that the ice cream truck that drove around the neighborhood in the summer was actually a music truck. When I asked my mother why kids would run up to the truck, she plainly stated "They are requesting music."

my mum use to tell me and my brother that when the ice cream man drives around with the tunes on, it means he's out of ice cream and the song is to say sorry.

same for the candy floss man ringing a bell

My friend was told when the ice cream man was playing the music it was because he ran out of ice cream. She believed it for years bless her.

One hot summer day I heard the ice cream truck approaching. I got all excited and wanted to buy an ice cream but my mom said "No, that's not the ice cream truck, that's just the music truck." For the longest time after I thought the ice cream truck really WAS the music truck, sent to provide happy music to people playing outside.

when i was little my mom told me that the ice cream truck was the 'music truck' so that i wouldn't ask for ice cream everytime it came around. i asked why it stopped and people talked to the driver and my grandpa said that the driver stopped to let them listen to the music. i didn't figure it out until i was at a friend's and she yelled 'THE ICE CREAM TRUCK!' when it came around and i was like 'no it's the music truck!' she thought i was crazy.

from Denmark, so the spelling might not be correct...

In Denmark the ice cream truck is ringing. I remember that many parents told their kids, that if it was ringing it meant that the ice cream was sold out.
