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

a friend of mine believed what his mum said (rather cruel!) the noise an ice cream van made meant there was no ice cream left

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 little, my dad told me that when the music from the icecream truck was playing, it meant that they had run out. So everytime the truck came by playing the music, i would get upset because they always seemed to run out when they got to our house.

When I was little my grandmother always invited me an ice cream cone and it was the best thing we always went to the door of the house and the man passed by in his cart and when the music played it was because there was no ice cream anymore.

from Denmark, so the spelling might not be correct...

In Denmark the ice cream truck is ringing. I remember that many parents told their kids, that if it was ringing it meant that the ice cream was sold out.

I was told that when the ice cream van came around, if he was playing music (which he always was to announce his arrival), it meant he had run out of ice cream - how cruel was that!!!

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.
