@nej: i'm jealous of that.
@everyone else: you may have lived in neighborhoods where there weren't a lot of kids. unless the volume of children in a neighborhood is high, the ice cream truck won't strike. culdesacs are common targets. it's why i would always find them when i was at my grandparents', but never at home (i can count the number of times i've seen ice cream trucks in my neighboorhood in the past 10 years on both hands).

@Kari: There was actually quite a few kids in my neighborhood when I was younger, but the ice cream truck simply did not exist.

In fact, there's less kids here now, and just last year an ice cream truck came through here. I was in too much of a state of disbelief to chase after it; thinking maybe the heat was causing me to hallucinate

[Chocofreak13]

that's odd. maybe there are neighborhoods with a higher volume of kids in your town.

Ice cream trucks are real?

[Nichi]

@Kriz: No, bro; they're an urban legend, like bigfoot, milkmen, and the Apple III

J\K xD

[Red-Machine]

Or your Apple III, at least.

[Nichi]

True that xD

[Chocofreak13]

were all your childhoods deprived of the
sweet sound of ice cream? ;^;

[Nichi]

Yeah, as I thought they where an urban legend; like the Loch Ness Monster or the Commodore Amiga

[NejinOniwa]

creepy 8-bit icecream van is clearly the master race

[Chocofreak13]

but i'd say this is the best of all. -w-

(though the swedish one was interesting. since it's only one line of music it sounds more like an alarm than music, though. xD)

Watch it, Pentium! Amiga was very real to me: an extremely loyal talking companion whenever I travelled in whatsthatplace, Narnia. She and Aslan got along super well too.

It's the same sound in Sweden and Finland. <3 In fact it indeed was an alarm, meant to tell people to stay inside to not be overrun by the urge to consume freezer-cold products in January.

I loved the ice cream truck as a child. ._. The only toy car I wanted was a mini version of that, and it played the jingle every time I put a coin inside. x)

[Bella]

That toy ice cream truck sounds really cute. : o

Oh and seconding the real-ness of the Amiga ... they don't even strike me as that rare of a computer anymore, just really sought-after and expensive nowadays. (At least for the complete/working systems.) ^^;

[Red-Machine]

I can state for a fact that they exist.  I own an A600, after all.

My computer is half as old as I am. :c
