rockpile Posted June 1, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted June 1, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinky finger Posted June 1, 2006 Share 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..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Flanders Posted June 1, 2006 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted June 1, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted June 1, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBud Posted June 1, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
