When I was 6, the ice cream truck was nearby and this boy and I wanted to get some. A friend told us that she didn't eat ice cream from the ice cream truck because none of the ice cream truck drivers wash their hands.
I didn't buy ice cream from the ice cream truck till I was 18.
I thought french fries were really invented in France (they are Belgian for those who don't know)
