Ice cream [[van]]s are often parked at public events, or near [[park]]s and [[beach]]es. Ice cream vans often drive near where children play such as schools and in [[neighbourhood]]s. They usually stop before going to the next [[street]]. Ice cream vans are brightly decorated and have pictures of ice creams and [[cartoon]] characters on them. Ice cream vans have a large serving [[hatch]] with a large sliding window at the side of the van. Many times the window has small pictures of the available ice creams with their prices. ==References== * {{cite journal |url= http://esopusmag.com/files/ARCHIVE_FLASH/4/SOFTSERVE/ |last= Neely |first= Daniel Tannehill |date= Spring 2005 |title= Soft Serve: Charting the aural promise of ice cream truck music |publisher= Esopus |volume= 4 |location= New York, NY |pages= 23–28 |access-date= 2017-07-02 |archive-date= 2007-12-17 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20071217120201/http://esopusmag.com/files/ARCHIVE_FLASH/4/SOFTSERVE/ |url-status= dead }} == Other websites == {{Commons category-inline}}{{ice cream}} [[Category:Ice cream|van]] [[Category:Vans]]
