Deep fried ice cream is a thing.
I had it once 13 years ago! And still remember it. Would deffo have it again
Please don’t give them any ideas. That 20 second MIDI track they play over and over again as loudly as possible is like fingernails on the chalkboard to my misophonia.
The elotes and chicharrones man who bicycles by my work several times a day has a horn like this. It’s kinda fun.
I don’t like the sound of fermented cabbage either.
Kids going to be running out on the ice to chase a truck full of boiling water lol. I say do it only the strongest will survive
The truck is also full of flammable liquid!
This guy clearly hasn’t heard of the ice cream wars
When I was a boy, there was a little hole in the wall ice cream spot… It was LITERALLY a window/counter in a wall. In the winter months, that window sold pizza slices. This is the way.
Whatever happened to the Swiss dogs with the barrel of liquor around their necks?
they were too drunk to procreate and went extinct
sometimes it bums me out lemmy doesn’t have many users cus this is peak humour
Quality > Quantity
Insulation is insulation, it can keep something hot as much as it can keep something cold. And a refrigeration system reversed becomes a heat pump. Would cost next to nothing to make something like this happen from a mechanical standpoint.
While that’s true regarding insulation, the degradation of materials might be different at different temperatures. It might not be an issue as I have no idea what the materials in an ice cream truck are, but if you want to maintain a hot beverage-temperature, several types of paint, treatments, walls and floors might fail over time.
And Glühwein or other hot adult drinks.
Any hot or warm snacks might go a long ways, too.
What’s wrong with ice cream in Winter anyway? It doesn’t melt as fast either.
When I actually lived in cold climates, I almost always purchased my ice cream to consume during the winter months. During the summer months I was more likely to purchase a peach smoothie or some other summer fruit that I can’t get outside of summer and early autumn.
This is the way. I swear when it’s hot out the dairy curdles in my stomach.
I hate the cold. I hate being cold. It is so painful.
But I will still occasionally have ice cream when the weather is cold. Delicious pain.
My first thought was “hey, I’m down for that!” and churros and a ton of other things. But ultimately you’re right. I’m still down for ice cream while it’s snowing.
Part of the reason people eat cold stuff during summer is to cool off
I used to live near an ice cream shop that switched over to doing doughnuts and cookies in the winter
Went on a Christmas light tour in Brooklyn and they had plenty of cocoa trucks.
Our local ice creamery is up for best ice cream in the country, They serve ice cream year round, but have excellent cocoa in the winter to draw in everyone, super expensive handmade marshmallows, etc.
One ice cream truck around here does hot waffles when the weather is cold.
I’m pretty sure the licensing for preparing food and drink is more involved than just selling prepackaged ice cream bars.
There was a recent thread about normal daytime sounds that would be scary at 2am - the best one was the ice cream wagon.
