Ice cream vans only play music when they've run out of ice cream

My father led me to believe that the song that the ice cream truck played meant that it was out of ice cream.

My parents told me that when I heard the song on the ice cream van it meant that all the ice cream had run out. For about 10 years I thought there was a huge shprtage on ice cream!

When I was very little, the ice cream truck used to come by my house in the summer. My parents told me it was the 'music truck', and it came by to play music to all the little boys and girls. Naturally, I was heartbroken when my best friend told me that it was actually the ice cream truck. So I packed up my few belongings and 'ran away from home' (walked across the street), sat there on my suitcase for ten minutes, then decided to forgive my mom and dad and came back.

I was quite strange.

my mum used to tell me that whenever the Ice cream truck came along, if it was playing a song it meant they were out of ice cream! I believed this until I was 12!

when i was little, my dad told me that the ice cream truck was actually the music truck so that i wouldnt ask him for some ice cream

To stop me asking for a icecream each time the icecream van visited my local neighbourhood my mother used to tell me that when the van was playing music it ment that the icecream van was out of icecream.

When I was little my mom would tell me that if the ice-cream man came down the street with his music blasting it meant that he was out of ice-cream and just warning the people not to come out and try to order any. I believed her for a long time and was deprived of many a summer night without my astropop!

My mum always told me that when the icecream van is playing music it means they're out of icecream. I used to be so disappointed that they were always out of icecream when they got to my street.

Whenever an Ice Cream van went past playing loud music my parents told me that the ice cream man was playing an alarm to everybody meaning he had run out of ice cream!!! Now I'm 23 and use that one myself!!!
