Delicious frozen treats always makes the bystander effect more charming and relatable.

The passivity of the man is amazing. No reaction even when the fight physically interrupts his spoonful of dessert. Almost as if he thinks it’s all just on TV or YouTube.
Very chill.

If we’re talking classic ice cream truck-related violence, then we gotta include Assault on Precinct 13

Usually you have to pay extra for a show…
When I was in Toronto late at night, I was with a friend and we stopped at this little cafe/restaurant place run by an older Italian lady. These two drunk gals come in and they want a salad. Well it’s near closing time, they don’t have any salad. They plead with the order taker, and the Italian lady comes out and decides she will make them a salad. Time passes and they decide they don’t want the salad any more, and the Italian lady is like, “Well you ordered it, you have to pay for it. I can make it to go.”
Well things go down hill from there, with yelling, some “I know who your parents are.”, some “fuck yous”. Eventually they were pushed out of the place and the door locked.
And they didn’t even comp our meals!

This is the epitome of big city living. Not my business, not going to get involved. It’s also the final episode of Seinfeld.

If he had offered to buy them all an ice cream should they make amends, could he have swiftly and amicably ended the entire disagreement using nothing but the power of sweetened dairy? We may never know.

“Turkey in the Straw” will do that to people.
Or any ice cream truck music, come to think of it.
I did once hear Christmas carols coming from an ice cream truck, must have been in July or so, which amused me.

Icee what you did there.

The ice cream truck that comes around where I live always plays the Italian national anthem. And the neighbour’s dogs will wail along with it.
Also, whenever I hear the Italian national anthem in any other context now (olympics, championship matches, whatever) I get a real hankering for ice cream.

Was the ice cream popcorn-flavored?

Face it: everyone likes ice cream more than brawls.
Even the lactose intolerant, if they have their pills with them.
