Ice Cream Vans Should Be Banned
They are licensed disturbers of the peace. They make too much noise, violating the sanctity and privacy of the home. The products they sell are not healthy and the vans themselves are often operated by criminals and used as a front for drug-dealing.

Where I live, there are no ice cream trucks, so I don't have that problem. =\

However, based on what I've read, I'd have to vote for this.

£1.50 per lollie at the van, £1.15 for a pack of 5-10 at Tesco.

I just don't want that music playing. I remember during a baseball championship game an ice cream truck came into the picture blaring his stupid little jiggle. I almost took my bat to his head. These individuals aren't friendly looking in the slightest. It's some old guy with a five o'clock shadow that looks like he's nursing a hangover.

Their prices are a bit high. The music gets to be a bit too much but it serves it purpose - the children run for ice cream.

Haha, Hidel you miserable bugger. You're not my dad are you? When I was a kid he used to tell me that when the ice cream van played the music it meant they had run out of ice cream. How tight?

Figures. It's hard to imagine Hidell as a child.

If you want to ban criminals from operating them...that's fine with me. Gee

Omg seriously? Is everyone's britches on too tight? I mean really? The music bothers you? Am I the only one here who is under 75 years old?

If you don't like them, don't buy from them. And don't let your kids buy from them. Or maybe you should supervise children while they are buying ice cream. Just because there's a possibility of danger doesn't mean that's a good reason to ban the entire industry (?) of ice cream vans.
