That being said, 9, 12, and 13 were the bomb.

Edit:

By popular demand secret option 34.

Edit 2:

Here’s your Choco Taco 35.

my mom never let me buy ice cream truck ice cream, her reasoning being "we have much higher quality ice cream in the freezer, and you can have some after dinner"

then one day at a play date my friend's mom got everyone ice cream truck ice cream and I learned, damn, mom was right, she buys way more premium shit to keep at home. lol

mom was a 90s step aerobics health nut, so she wasn't gonna waste dessert calories on anything but the best haha

13. Those things are better than the strawberry candies in your nanna's candybowl.

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

Fuck yeah choco taco!

15, assuming I had the cash for the premium option.

If I didn't, then it was one of these bad boys

  1. 6 for life. By which I also mean later today.

I agree, some of the others are also good

1-16 for me

  1. I like cookies more than ice cream

These made me a fat kid. I liked to let it melt while I ate lunch so the sides melted and I could lick the soft ice cream offfff oh gawd I want one nooooowwwwww

Im not a millenial and that truck has all sorts of things that were not options for me but imma number 12

As a kid I would've picked #13, but as an adult I'd probably take #26 or #27 because the cone would've kept the melting treat from spilling onto my hands.

This brings back memories. Swimming in the pool, having a blast, then hearing the music of the ice cream truck approaching... Everyone jumps out, grabs their towels, and goes searching for pocket change, hoping to find enough before the truck gets too far...

I once chased the ice cream truck around my neighborhood on a bike. In retrospect, I think the driver was fucking with me, but I eventually got it (and probably burned off enough calories to make up for it.)

I also remember seeing random kids on the ride-alongs. Always the popular kids. I was jealous, but nowadays it gives me pause. I hope those little girls (and boys) were safe riding in the truck alone with the ice cream vendor...

It was all about the push-ups for me. But only if they are the kind with a plastic plunger in a cardboard tube.

I don't recognize those fakers in spot 26-27.

Funny how, as an adult, I'm still a sucker for push-ups. Some things never change, huh?

There is no rocket pop on here, only the inferior bomb pop. 2x 33's and a road curb to pout on.

[–] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Bomb Pop FTW but #28-33 look like weird tron shit.

Gen X. I don’t see the malt cup so I just walk away. All these were basically trash.

5 and 6 are the worst because you could be getting an It’s-It but they half arsed it.

  1. but it only has one gumball and it's called a "Screwball"

Always the Choco-Taco. 2nd was Chipwich, 3rd was Oreo Chipwich, and then if you were one of the unlucky kids at the back of the line, strawberry shortcake or toasted almond crunch bars.

10

I hate how they're virtually impossible to find these days.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

As a kid: either #1 or any of 9 through 16, current me would probably go with 5 or 6

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago

3 looks so good.

16, 5 if I just had 16 yesterday

[–] lemmysmash@piefed.social 0 points 4 days ago

Why did you post the other 32 then?
