Ice Cream Vans

So I’m used to the friendly Jeep Ice Cream Truck, driven by a poor college student, perusing the neighborhood while playing the Entertainer on it’s loud speaker.

Our neighborhood has it’s own take on Ice Cream Trucks, and quite honestly, it freaks me out.

You can’t tell from the picture, but the paint is actually chipping off the van.  To make it worse, there are two of them that tour our neighborhood playing the most obnoxious music ever (it has a popping and honking noise).  My favorite part is that the menu is attached with packing tape to the van.  Doesn’t this just scream, “I’m a child molester that will lure your children into the back of my van.”

Lily just thinks these vans go around playing music for fun.  We hold her up to look at them through the window, but we never let her near them.

I HATE icecream trucks! They do play the most obnoxious music ever. Fortunately icecream trucks aren't as big. Instead people who I assume are illegal immigrants walk around with these little refrigerated carts which have bells attached to the handle that ring constantly. They're annoying but not quite as obnoxious as the trucks. Plus I like that they are trying to earn money in a legitimate way.

Yeah those vans look very creepy, but they have ice cream! How bad could they be, right??

Wow - that is the weirdest thing. I don't think I'd buy anything from an ice cream VAN. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure why it's weirder than an ice cream JEEP. I think it just feels more like buying a watch from a guy in a trench coat or something.

That's actually the nice looking van. The other van is the older beater van that's driven by some scary guy in a turban. He looks like he could fit the profile of a terrorist.

And do the drivers have a mustache and wear daisy dukes? That is scary.
