rockpile Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 That jingle song, for us as kids, was like the call of the Pied Piper to a city of rats. news link mister softee DOT com Web site has a clip of the jingle. The last one of these I saw was in Greenwich Village at a festival a couple years ago.
stuckincincy Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 RIP, Mr. S. Having a handful of pennies in the summer when a delivery truck converted to an ice cream palace drove into the neighborhood was a huge, rare treat.
stinky finger Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 I enjoyed many a nutty-buddy from that man. Sad to see him pass. RIP. Ice cream sammys were always a treat as well.....
Ned Flanders Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Growing up in Rochester, we always had "Skippy." He often (like mall Santas there was more than one) rode around on a three-wheeled type motorcycle, with the freezer in the back. Down by the beach in Charlotte, we also had "Skeeter." There was only one of him, and he had a van...
LabattBlue Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Generic ice cream trucks and their stupid music will always play 2nd fiddle to Mr. Softee. PS I haven't seen a Mr. Softee truck in a long time.
Phlegm Alley Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 In my neighborhood, we had Mr. Ding-a-Ling who got busted by authorities for selling more than just ice cream treats if you know what I mean.

WWVaBeach Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 I just had a Mr Softee cone last month in Maryland. My wife and both headed for the front door as soon as we heard the music!
bills_fan Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 PS I haven't seen a Mr. Softee truck in a long time. Really? They are all over the place in NYC. Got some ice cream from one yesterday afternoon.

BuffaloBud Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Mr. Softee was a presence during my youth in Lancaster. However, he always appeared just before dinner and my mom would rarely give me money for a cone where everyone else was lined up.
