Ice cream man in his van

hi jugsjugs no it seems the icecream man had given up on Dawson street as so many vietnamese live here and they do not apparently like ice cream all that much.there are a few children along the length of the street but he never got many customers and when he came along I never had any pocket money so I could not help him out either.here in ca it does not get really cold,forty is about as low as it ever gets and thats in Jan or Feb.

yes - and I never buy ice cream from the trucks anyway...

We live on a main road and therefore don't have an ice cream man.The estate next door used to have an ice cream van my two used to run like crazy to catch him.When we were kids we lived on an estate and we had two ice cream vans most days.My mum used to moan at them as did the other mothers so they took turns after that.We lived in the middle of nowhere on a small estate with loads of kids,so it was worth them turning up.Most people buy ice creams from the supermarkets so the ice cream man is an expensive treat.To call in the middle of winter is a bit off perhaps he could sell other goods as well to make it worth his while.Never thought about what ice cream sellers do in the winter.

After we moved into our house several months ago, it was the first time in years that I had seen an ice cream man, and I've actually been surprised at some of the days that he has come down our street peddling his goods. There have been rainy days and there have been some days that were quite chilly where he has come down the road. However, there has never been a day where either my son or my daughter did not want to go outside and buy an ice cream. It's been a few weeks since we've seen the ice cream man and for that I am thankful.

Yes, indeed! I'm actually one of those who sometimes gets tempted by the ice cream man. I don't know. Maybe it's that hypnotic tune he plays to attract people LOL.

I have never lived anywhere that had an ice cream man.I always envied people that did. I didn't think they sold it in the winter. I know I wouldn't want to go outside and get one and I love ice cream.

No, the ice cream truck is very seasonal. Once the kids start back to school, he is gone. I would not buy ice cream from a truck in the cold, either.

I would not go out and buy an ice cream from the van either. It would be too cold. I think I would have done it if I was still a kid though. Kids never get tired of being cold or eating ice cream LOL.

i haven't seen the ice cream truck around in years..i'm not sure they do that in my area anymore.it's too bad though.

Hi JJ, We don' t have winter in our country only rainy season. Yes, ice cream man still sells ice cream and there are still lots of buyers. we only experience "cold" weather during the chrstmas season but most of the days in the year it's really hot even during the rainy season.

ice cream van on a winter? hahaha!! thats rediculous..even me i won't have ice cream during this cold season, it will shrink my nuts!! LOL! maybe the ice cream man is trying something new...

In my old neighborhood, the ice cream man would come around no matter the weather! However is it me or do you crave more ice cream when its cold than any other time? Well yes, the ice cream is on his grind no matter what.

hi jugs,at our place they sell it irrespective of the season coz it is us on our lane who make most of the business for him.so he doesnt even miss our lane.i nd my friends really enjoy having icecream when its raining.its a different experience.

Since moving to this city, I have yet to see an ice cream man driving down the street, playing his magical music to lure us in and satisfy our sweet tooth. Sigh! Back home, there were plenty. I miss that. Down my street, we just have the creepy neighbor asking us for old coin and to lift heavy things. I prefer the ice cream man!

its different here in our country since we don't have winter. We don't have an icecream van, instead vendors use pushcarts and bicycles and they roam the streets. Cheers!
