Excited children run through parks and race down blocks to get cones, bars and soft serve on sweltering summer days as the sound of the iconic jingle gets louder and the ice cream truck nears.
While frozen sweet treats have been around in some form or other for thousands of years, inventions over the years have brought ice cream to the people. One innovation, the ice cream truck, has been luring children and adults alike to the street for a century. The trucks are now a staple part of summer in the U.S.
"Ice cream trucks changed the way people viewed ice cream as they created a new level of accessibility that didn't exist before," said Manish Vora, co-founder and co-CEO of Museum of Ice Cream, which started as a pop-up experience in 2016 and and now has locations in multiple cities.
