Of course 17-24 NEVER looked like the picture
That being said, 9, 12, and 13 were the bomb.

Choco taco
Literally came to say fuck off with your no choco taco chart! lol
It's so disrespectful to leave it off
To be fair there are people alive and old enough to vote that don't know about the long lost treasure that is the Choco Taco 😭
Came to say the same. What a sham not having the option.
This made me look back at the ice cream available in my youth, and find what I find is the most iconic year of ice cream here in Sweden:
1999!
I was 11/12 years old, and loved the concept of the Winner Taco, but my favorite ice cream back then was the Magnum Ego, it was just amazing!
Those Solero dots were absolutely baller, same for the Twister
Only issue was if you were not fast enough, they would clump in the bottom and be very hard to get out
Thats when you either turn it into a slush and drink it (then feel your face pull in from the slap of sour)
Or tear off the cardboard base and go at it upside down like some kind of gremlin
Back when Magnum was actually magnum size.

The fuck? Where's the god damn ChocoTaco?! I thought this was an ice cream truck from the past, not the present day. 😩
No Big Ed Super Saucer, either. Got that tiny little Nestle bullshit one, tho.
Ugh... 13 I guess. 🤷♂️
where is the choco taco!
Where the fuck is the orange push pop?
With Flintstone artwork.
I CAN TASTE IT
TAKE ME BACK
Horrifically deformed you say?
I don’t know what you mean
And his wife?
Incontinetia Buttox?
To shreds you say
She had a husband you know...
To shreds you say!
Poor Biggus Dickus.
Where's the OG push up pop in the cardboard toilet paper tube? I'm too old for this meme
One cardboard tube Flintstones pushup pop and a box of candy cigarettes please. Here's my $1.25
You had me with the candy cigarettes. I've had the push pop things (they were like a sorbet right? Or something creamier idk, I just remember fruity) but the cigarettes are a something my mom talks about.
13 all fucking day. We even had the Schwann's guy deliver boxes of them back in the day
What is that?
A box is a rectangular container typically made of cardboard.
No what is 13 obviously the only thing I cant google
It is a cardinal number that comes after 12 and before 14.
Yeah definitely couldnt have googled that
You don't know what you don't know
I think this is the closest approximation now
Mmmm "frozen dairy dessert" aka not ice cream... fuck nestle regardless
Schwann's is (was?) a frozen food delivery service. They'd have a big ass freezer truck that they'd drive through the neighborhood making deliveries, and you would get a big catalogue of options to choose from. It was essentially a curated frozen foods section of the supermarket on wheels, and they had some really good stuff.
No idea if they are still around, I certainly don't see the trucks anymore.
Yeah I couldve googled schwanns I meant what is 13 from OP ive never seen it before
Oh! Its typically called "strawberry shortcake" or something along those lines. Its a slightly tart and sweet strawberry ice cream center, with a creamy outer layer, covered in a yummy similarly flavored
breadingcrumbles.Breading? Ewww. Call em "crumbles."
Done
freeze-dried shortcake crumble melange
Mate got every wrong answer before the one you wanted lol
Lmao
the company exists just as a frozen foods company, but is now owned by a south korean conglomerate. when schwans was sold to cj in 2019, the home delivery business was spun-off and still owned by the family. it later went out of business, not long after an absolutely horrible rebrand.
I once got hired under the table to help unload a Schwann's freezer trailer one night and was compensated with a cooler full of product of my own choosing at cost. The markup on the items was insane, my household ate for weeks off that.
Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake Frozen Dessert Bar
Not sure if it’s exactly the same but it looks like Chapman’s Strawberry Shortcake Crunch Yukon Bar that we have in Canada.

Chaco taco. #35
Number 6, I was an ice cream sandwich kinda kid. Number 3 if I wanted to change it up, because it lasted a long time.
Number 6 is my choice too. You get a cookie. You get ice cream. You get chocolate chips! You get Another Cookie! AND YOU GET IT ALL AT ONCE!!!
Those character ones were always malformed mutants never meant to see the light of day. I got my daughter a Sonic ice cream bar and she said it gave her nightmares. I am being serious, and I find it as funny now as I did back then.
6 was my go to. Never let me down
1-16
Where are the Big Sticks and Choco Tacos?
I WOULD FLIP THAT TRUCK OVER AND BURN IT TO THE GROUND!!!
35
6 or 16 if they're out of 6.
You get it.
6, 9, 12
1, 11, or 14
I'm a simple man with simple pleasures
Where is nightmare fuel Spongbob?

Nice, I'll take 2.
I was always disappointed if it was a
instead of a proper
WTF is this?! The ice cream truck has gelato, always has been this way.
20 or 22, I'm easily fooled, had a Sega Genesis and TMNT bedsheets.
That said, we were too poor to get anything most of the time. We were at a park because it's free, I mean c'mon. (And before you ask, no, the Genesis was a gift from a guy who wanted to fuck my mom. Lol)
How dare you forget the king of the ice cream truck;
The 99 flake. Called as such because it was 99 pence, and had a flake.
Never seen that one. English ice cream?
Aye, it's probably closes to the american soft serve, a flake is just the most well named chocolate of all time, because all it does is crumble into flakes lol
Sonic, hands down
based
#6
1,5,6,9-16
I always went for chocolate, vanilla and strawberry as the reliable staples.
6 or 33 for me
Either 6 or 4, depending on if I'm in the mood for dairy or not.
When I was a kid I def fucked w the pink panther and ninja turtle tho
6
I always liked 10 and 15
You’re all wrong! There is another…
Where's Slimer and where's the ChocoTaco?
I rarely saw a Slimer option after the 80s, but the lack of Choco Taco option feels criminal.
I was born in '85 and from New York so maybe we had it longer. shrug
wallyworld sells a 6 pack of #6 for $10
6, but if i was a kid i probably would pick something 17-24. On another topic idk if anyones had #6 lately but shrinkflation hit this HARD over the past 10 years...
Those malt cups were always so gross, tasted like ice that had been shown a picture of chocolate once.
I miss Root Beer Float pops
33
It's not about the quality, it's about the nostalgia
Hell yeah, Bomb Pop!
Nowadays either 9 or 6, but where is the hoky grail Choco Taco?
You guys were rich enough to afford this? We were lucky if we could get a 10
17 somehow always ended up looking like a Lovecraftian abomination
5,6 or 10. I dont know the products tho maybe they're trash.
Hailey I got you one of those fucked up sonic the hedgehog icecreams
sigh thanks mom.
Spongebob?
I would fuck with all 12-16
Sonic. No contest
either 26 or 6
honorable mention
Yep and the Ed von Schleck, the Fürst Pückler, the Magnum Mandelsplitter
Golden Gaytime? Anyone?
10 y/o me is disappointed no screwball
I don't understand the point of this post. It's like asking "what's your choice of answers for 1+1". When you go to the grocery store,you get whatever.
You go to an ice cream shop, you always get the ones shaped like your favorite character.
Ice cream truck, you get a rocket. Unless you are a head injury victim.
I'm calling out OP for setting us up for something. I don't like it.
22
TIL about trash tier ice crean trucks I guess
(You get, like, actual proper ice cream in Europe, probably not everywhere tho)
Come on theres plenty of places selling heart-brand stuff
Sure they do....with downs 🤷♂️
11 is GOAT. We had an ice cream freezer in the lunch room of my elementary school and I would always get that one. Cost a whole $0.50!
1 or 16
Where's Spidey goddammit?!?!???
CANDY CIGARETTES.
33
See what happens when you collectively make your voice heard? No imagine if they brought back our stolen Choco Taco but for real!!
20 and 33 for me.
The ice cream sandwich and icee Popsicle.
Is 6 a real It's-It, or is it some bullshit knock-off?
6 is definitely real, but most ice cream trucks didn't offer it in my experience. You'd find them in convenient stores though.
Same... There should be ice cream trucks that sell things people really want, like frozen Reese's cups and blended margaritas.
I have never seen an It's-It that didn't come covered in chocolate
Yeah nah. I thought it looked fake, but haven't looked at a real one in at least 15 years so I couldn't figure out why. Goddamn...
Bomb pop, 100%.
I always got the bomb pops too, or "rocket pops" which were generic versions they sometimes had and which were actually superior.
If I remember correctly, bomb pops had bubble gum in the center, so you got 2 treats for the price of 1
Standard Bomb Pops didn't have gum inside, though some varieties probably did. The Bomb Pops is constantly making little variations on their popsicles, probably too many IMO.
2, 3, or 25. (I hated getting my hands dirty and preferred to eat out of a cup.)
I'm equally happy with 13 or 14.
13 or 22.
13
Nowadays, 6. As a kid, 9, 11 or 12.
No Rocket Pop? No Pushup? No Big Stick? This list is incomplete.
16 thank you very much
22, because I am lactose intolerant
Same, but I’ll suffer for ice cream and pizza
You posted this as someone who's lactose intolerant??
9, 12 and 6 for me
27 then 33
6 or whichever of 14-16 I was feeling that day.
You got 15 seconds to produce an orange dreamsicle before I lob this grenade into your goddamn truck you heretic.
Always one of the character ones. The others you can get at stores pretty easily. Not as a kid, but still.
12 or 13
15, 24 or 33
No candy center crunch is actually illegal
What was 30 like?
Essentially life saver flavored (each color one similar to the standard life saver color flavors) and a crappy frozen gumball on top. The bomb pops were larger for the same price, so I always felt they were superior.
7 or 13
Number 12 was my jam!
13 for me!
No Fat Frog? No dice.
Okay fine, I’ll have a 7. Best bang for buck.
