It's the law of supply and demand.  It's very hot - lots of people want ice cream and the vendors cash in.  The same reason that umbrellas go up in the rain!

That's Bounty's line.


I never buy from ice cream vans. They are mostly filthy.

And lots get melted then refrozen.  I avoid them too, but then I have a proper ice cream kiosk about 500 metres from the house!

I had a 99 yesterday, only £1.20, very nice.  I had an ice cream van at my wedding, that's how classy I am.

I had a Flake Supreme McFlurry yesterday or whatever it's called and it was a disgrace. The ice cream was a solid lump and only filled half of the cup, there was a spponful of watery, tasteless chocolate sauce and a tiny, tiny finger of Flake crumbled up on the top.

Ice cream van who comes down my road charges £1 for a 99, sauce and topping (like nuts) are free


If it's for a little kiddie it's only 80p!


He is an old codger so probably hasn't realised prices have gone up everywhere else.


Only thing is he usually comes between 8pm - 9pm when little un is in bed and if he's not asleep he gets up and mithers for ice cream.


He does two tone Mr whippy... strawberry & vanilla or chocolate & vanilla Yummy

A Man goes to an ice cream van and in very faint, hoarse voice asks for an ice cream.


'Crushed nuts?' asks the vendor


'No laryngitis'.

"100's and 1000's?" asks the vendor


"No, just the one" says the man.

623, the man has a hoarse voice.  The ice cream vendor asks the man if he wants crushed nuts but the discourse is abbreviated by the phrase 'crushed nuts?' which most people would assume to mean little bits of chopped up peanuts to sprinkle on the ice cream.  However the man misconstrues this statement inferring crushed nuts to mean some injury to his testicles as an explanantion for his hoarseness and replies, 'no, laryngitis'.
