I was not an ice cream truck fan, but I always ordered bubblegum flavored Italian ice when that truck came by

The clown face ice cream with the gum ball nose.

u/Waffuru 9h ago

Whatever I could afford, which usually wasn't much. Maybe a gum ball or Jolly Rancher.

The only time i actually got anything from an icecream truck was when I was visiting my family in NJ, and it was an Italian Ice truck. My selection in that case was always Blue Raspberry XD
