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

When I was a young child my parents told me that when the ice-cream van played music, they had run out of ice cream!

my friends dad told her little brother( he's 8)that when the icecream van has its music on, then its run out of ice cream. her brother beleived it for about 2 years until he saw an ice cream van with music playing giving out ice creams

I was hanging out with a friend 1 day and i heard the ice cream van come round the corner. I had some cash and asked if she wanted an ice cream and she could pay me back later. My friend laughed and said the van music was on. Confused, my reply came as "so what?" in which my friend replied "well, when the musics on there isnt any ice cream left!" i then had to prove it and caused my friends mum a lot of hassle.

Not mine, but did hear recently about someone being told as a kid that the ice-cream van only played its music when it had run out of ice-cream. Maybe its a Scottish thing!

Well this is not mine! But one of my friends told her son that if the bell rings on the ice-cream van then it meant that he had no ice-cream! Can you imagine what he thought when he seen all the other kids getting some. He must be scared for life!!!

When i was little, my dad told me that when the music from the icecream truck was playing, it meant that they had run out. So everytime the truck came by playing the music, i would get upset because they always seemed to run out when they got to our house.

when i was a little ankle biter, in the summer when the ice cream van used to patrol around the neighbourhood it used to play the music, well whenever the music played my evil father used to tell me that that meant they had run out of ice cream, so everytime it came past it always played the music and i used to laugh at all the other kids run up to it thinking they'd be getting ice cream, it made me feel so clever, how wrong was i!
