icecream truck

Mobile frozen dessert vendor

An ice cream truck is a vehicle, usually a van or small truck, that drives through neighborhoods selling frozen treats like ice cream bars, popsicles, and soft-serve cones.

These trucks typically announce their presence by playing distinctive jingle music through loudspeakers, prompting children to run outside with money.

Ice cream trucks are a fixture of summer in American suburbs and appear at parks, beaches, and community events.
