I read that parents pass on their fibs to their kids who in turn tell their kids the same, the best fibs were the reasons given to get out of buying ice-cream when kids hear the van coming, for e.g. the jingles mean the icecream man has run out of ice-lollies, so don't come out!

I used to tell mine that the ice cream man only sold meat pies in the winter,cos it was too cold for ice cream.

I really don't know why they come round at all when almost every house in the country has a freezer and can store their own ice cream. That soft twirly stuff is disgusting, it's not even real ice cream. I know someone from the Environmental Health Department, I won't repeat any of the stories he has told me but trust me, if you knew you would never buy anything from a food van.

where I was living,the ice cream van always seemed to come just before diner.My children would always beg to get one,but I would always say no because it's to close to diner time.So to stop them always asking,I said that ice cream man sells rotten ice cream,and if you eat it will give you the runs.,so if you stop asking,we can can to the shop after diner,and we can all buy an ice cream o.k.I never thought that they were going to be fooled by it,until the next day,a friend of my daughters didn't come to play,my daughter rang her and she said that she was sick,and she had the runs.My daughter asked did she have an ice cream from the ice cream van ( she was 7 at the time),and she said yes.My daughter told her what I had said,and none of my children asked for another ice cream the ice cream van,well that is until a new one started coming around,and so I just gave up,and let them have an ice cream as long as they had their diner.

it wasn't really the ice cream man. it was an undercover operation by the ice cream police.
the blinking light on top, making it believable to me.
