I hear the siren call, but never do I see the entity. It circles just out of reach. Tempting. Mocking. Taunting with its song.

no because america is fucked up and fun little things like this don't work anymore. You can't sustain a business on this anymore, kids aren't allowed outside anymore, people with kids can't afford houses so there's nowhere to actually drive an ice cream truck.

It's kept up in some small towns, usually by some retired guy who is doing it for fun rather than profit. But like all fun pop culture traditions in america it will die because of the people who romanticize it not caring about the state of things.

My neighbor drove an ice cream truck. He was also a pig farmer. When I was 5 he let us kids onto his ice cream tuck and let us pick out whatever we wanted from the freezes.

A lot of parents in the US these days, especially middle class and up white parents, schedule every minute of every day of their kids' lives and often /don't let their kids even go outside/.
My much older brother and his wife were like that with their daughter as was my even older sister and her dead husband's parents with her daughter.
My brother's kid is now 18, has never set foot in a school and has never had a friend. She's been rejected by many schools so she's taking online courses at a community college, a far cry from her Ivy educated father and Juilliard grad mother.
My sister's kid had so much artificial structure in her life that she couldn't handle all the freedom of being a college student on her own and flunked out in one semester. She now scrubs turlets in N'Awlins for a living because she wants nothing to do with her grandparents or mother.
Yet, both these asshats wanna give me advice on how to raise my son, as though they've done some amazing jobs.

Britbongs think a "truck" is only a freight car attached to a locomotive.
They use "lorry" to refer to any sort of cargo truck (pickups, flatbeds, boxcars, 18-wheelers, etc)
pretty much everything else is called a van except SUVs which they call four-by-fours even when they don't have 4 wheel drive

it was a thing even in the 90s. It was because of scare mongering media in the 80s and shit like "do you know where your kids are?" which had an agenda behind them that wasn't about keeping kids safe. Stranger danger scare tactics ignored that most people abusing and molesting kids weren't strangers to the kids. The media was for their parents, who would then be super paranoid about their kids wandering around unsupervised.

And it made it weird in the 90s to grow up in a controlled environment like that while all the cartoons were made by people who grew up a in the 70s and 80s and were allowed to roam, so cartoon kids got to wander their neighborhoods, but even in our safe white suburbia we weren't allowed to.

But that just goes back to why ice cream trucks are dying out. Kids can't go out, the culture was forcibly shifted for unrelated reasons to benefit a wealthy few. Malls in America are dying because they were always about the illusion of a walkable shopping street while still being heavily controlled and overpriced.

More and more shit in America just no longer works because of the state it's in and the people who complain about "kids don't do x anymore" are usually the reason why.

Back in the 70s and 80s people were absolutely paranoid about chil' molesters and murders of women and children. All the worst pedo child killers existed in the 70s and 80s and this when every parent and teacher in the US at least was constantly repeating never talk to strangers, never get in the car with someone, where on the doll did he touch you, etc etc

If my first entrance into the US 30ish years ago counts as "new," then sure: it's "new."
I first got here as a kid in 1990 and ice cream trucks had soft-serve. I left in the late 90s, came back later for college and ice cream trucks still had soft-serve. And now, I've got a five year old who this past summer got, you guessed it, soft-serve from an ice cream truck (and i did, too). Maybe ice cream trucks with soft-serve are exclusively a coastie thing cuz in the US, I've never lived anywhere but coastal states.

Ice cream truck drivers are idiots. They could be making so much more money if they knocked on people's doors with a smile and made it feel rude to turn them away.
