• Mouthwatering Music

  Jun. 01, 2012

  Nothing says "summer" like the tinkling tunes of the neighborhood ice cream truck. Ice cream vendors have been peddling cold concoctions on city streets since the early 1800s, announcing their presence with bells, harmonicas, barrel organs or their own shouting voices.

  Ice cream sellers' music has evolved from the jangle of bells to the jingle of public domain songs such as "Turkey in the Straw," "The Entertainer" and "Pop Goes the Weasel." Nowadays most ice cream trucks are equipped with digital music boxes that crank out the classics.
