A day in the life of an ice cream guy...and the inside of a real ice cream truck!

I don't care how far technology comes along and if AI takes over, Ice Cream trucks will still be magical. Early 2000s Ice Cream trucks are what I grew up with 😋 I would always save up a few quarters, and the Ice Cream truck man would always say the going rate for an Ice Cream cone that day was how many quarters I happened to have that day 😂

The kids reactions when I pull into the park with the music playing is priceless. You can hear the screams all across the park…so cool!! Thanks for the comment!!

Nice looking truck. The one I own is a 1978 chevy grumman ( ex-postal truck) Have to have those sliding open doors for those hot summer days.

That pay it forward idea is awesome ! I remember in about 1974, sweltering day, hearing the ice cream truck...no money. The 9 year old me cried. All these many years later, I still recall that sinking feeling. 😔

I had my own ice cream truck back in the mid-70s. Actually the song I played on my ice cream truck was the one you were playing when the video first started. I'm old-school so I like the old music boxes from back in the 60s and 70s.

Moxie, We are starting our business this summer and are looking for a good freezer. I see that you have close to about 30 choices +/-, You get all those choices in that freezer?? Wow, where do you keep your spare inventory?
@moxiesicecreamtruck6 ай бұрын
I've got about 25 items I carry every day. I easily get them all in there. The more choices you give them, the longer they keep the line from moving. Then you just stare at them picking their nose while they decide. The freezer is the most important piece of the entire operation. It's a cold plate freezer from C. Nelson. Plug it in at night, and it keeps the ice cream perfectly frozen all day with no power needs. Not too hard, like a freezer with dry ice, but just right for eating. Don't be that company that uses dry ice. You are selling rocks that no one can even eat till they thaw out a little. Spend the cash and get the best the first time...trust me. You will learn a way to arrange the boxes so the biggest selling items are on top, and the slower ones on the bottom. I keep a spare chest freezer on wheels at home in the garage. I load it up into the van for the weekly re-up. Good luck with the business!!

@moxiesicecreamtruck Жыл бұрын
It's not the kids that you have to worry about. The MOMS make the decision. Just because YOU like it, doesn't mean it will translate to sales. What will deter people in general, is making it look like something else, and not an ice cream truck. How many restaurants have you passed on, saying to yourself, "It looks weird". Something to think about...Give yourself every advantage you can. Keep it simple, and THAT will help you be successful.
