While ice cream bars and trucks have been childhood staples for more than 100 years, not all of the history has been sweet. Museum of Ice Cream co-founder and co-CEO Manish Vora joined CBS News to discuss the somewhat unknown history of ice cream and ice cream trucks.

1970 or 71, a grade school friend of mine died because he was seated on the front bumper of a Mister Softee truck. The driver couldn't see him there and drove off. He ended up running my friend over, and Mister Softee trucks were banned in Stamford, CT for quite a few years afterwards (Good Humor trucks continued on though). His name was John (Jack) Hudak, and it was on Custer Street in Stamford, CT. I'll never forget him or it. I was maybe 10 or 11 years old at the time.

Most neighborhood shops have a freezer, and they sell commercial packaged ice cream and frozen lollipops. There are stores in many places selling gourmet varieties too. Nobody waits for a truck randomly going on the street.

We have ice cream and novelties like popsicles and ice cream sandwiches at stores. We also have ice cream shops and stands. The stands where I live (New York) are only open in the summer. The ice cream trucks also only come out in the summer. They sell ice cream novelties that you cannot buy elsewhere or larger versions of different items. They sell a lot of character ice creams. Ice cream trucks have always been a treat; not something you buy every single time. They are not as popular as they were when I was a child during the 70s and 80s.

Explicitly racist music was very popular in the 1920s and 1930s when these trucks came about, which is why the melody would've been used and it isn't a coincidence that it is still used. They also had racist cartoons back then that kids AND adults would watch in the movie theaters before television was commonplace. Some of our old favorites from Disney, from Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, and others.... they had racist figures, symbols, and language mixed in.... but today, many of those things are hidden away in the vaults of the parent companies of these intellectual properties, much like the music. You can spin it and say it's used for other songs, but there are other children's songs out there without racist connotations. You don't much hear those from the ice cream truck.

It wasn't my money to give, and I was almost beaten unconscious because of it later on by my father. I remember that horrible beating well over sixty years later. To this day, the sound of an ice cream truck brings back memories of terror. I recall giving the driver "a big nickel" because I didn't know what a quarter was called back then.
