Ice Cream, You Scream

by This is Carrie on June 18, 2008

I have a question.

Why does our Ice Cream Truck’s jingle include the tune “Oh Come All Ye Faithful”? I think I may have heard “Jingle Bells” mixed in there too. It’s kind of strange.

My sister never lets the grandchildren get ice cream from the ice cream man. You may not know this, but all ice cream men/women are pedophiles and drug dealers, and very possibly murderers.

But remember, you live in a neighborhood where the house next door has fake grass. Anything goes over there, I think…:)

Not that any of this has anything to do with ice cream trucks, just a fun fact. I’ve heard our ice cream trucks out here play jingle bells and o come all ye faithful as well. Who knows.
