The ice cream man
What years were you chasing this guy around? What did you like? And if you’re really good, how much was it?

I was born in ‘72 so I was running after him in the late ‘70’s to early ‘80’s. Creamsicle’s or ice cream sandwiches were my favorite and I’m gonna say they were around 25¢ to 35¢.

I'd chase him tomorrow, or to your point I'm still chasing him! Mid to late seventies maybe into the early eighties. Priced about like yours. Seems like we're pushing $5 now.

1960’s - I remember loving the orange flavored - Push-Up - I think it cost a dime.

Bomb Pop. Don't recall the price. They were huge and seemed to be the best value for my hard earned $2 weekly chore income. Serious brain freeze. Big Grin

Mr. Softee around here in the 60's and 70's.
The soft serve cones are all I remember. A dedicated ice cream truck. Now they are just vans with frozen popsicles. But granddaughter likes them and it's my job to spoil her!
And if I hear Turkey in the straw one more time, I'm getting out my shotgun, blow the speakers off that Damn van!

I lived in the country we didn't have a ice cream man. But I saw them when I went to visit my city cousins.

Born in the 50s, chasing the truck in the early 60s.

My favorites was Dreamsicles and the orange "Push up Pops".

While there were other "Premiums", the aforementioned were affordable "bonus".

And more times than not, I and my little sister just shared the "Twin Pops".

SoCal, early 60s. And now you made me think of things....

Where did time and life go?
