Never heard of mister softee. Just looked it up and now I'm kinda pissed. It looks so good and there isn't one even remotely close to me. This would have been a staple to my childhood.

We had a Mr Sofftee, in fact he was the high school English professor. My father was a state Trooper and also close friends with Mr Softee and nearly every summer day for years the ice cream man was parked in front of my house. All the kids came to my house at the end of the street and Iā€™m sure parents felt safe sending them. It was all fun and games until several years later Mr Softee was my AP English teacher.

Yeah they had their own unique jingle that suffered from the regular ice cream trucks. It was getting pretty expensive even 20 years ago. Think a shake was like $5.
