The worst was the one with the inane tune that paused every 20 seconds and some kid voice yelling "HELLO-O?!" and then back into the inane tune. Horrible. Before that was the one that played "La Cucaracha" on a short loop, that one made me smile I'd have to say. I wonder if some white knight had it shut down for cultural sensitivity reasons.
Yeah the La Cucaracha one was at least different.
And I'm all about ice cream trucks in theory - they used to be rare and exciting to see. "OHHHH SNAP it's the Ice Cream truck - that NEVER happens! We are so lucky today - hurry and run inside and get some money so we can have a super rare treat on this hot summer day!! WHAT A GREAT DAY OMG SUMMER IS THE BEST!!!"
But now it's every day, same time. Things aren't a treat if they happen constantly. No wonder everyone is a big fatso.
I totally had my kids calling this thing the 'Music Truck' and thinking that it was just a truck that drove around the neighborhood playing music. Then one day the kid noticed it had paintings of ice cream and treats on it. Then he noticed there was a man inside. Then he saw the man distributing treats. The jig is up. Now every day at around 5:30pm that truck comes and parks outside blaring its stupid music over and over. Kids get antsy and I need to threaten to get the jumper cables out just to maintain order in my McMansion.
This isn't the serene Milton lifestyle that was presented in Zeeshan's brochure.

I don't mind it. It makes me feel a bit nostalgic when I hear it, and sometimes I'll even bend over and over-pay for an icy rocket popsicle so I get a blue tongue.
Nostalgic for what? Yesterday, when the same stupid truck came lumbering down the street playing the same damn song?
