Kids racing down the street with a pocketful of quarters can thank Harry Burt of Youngstown, Ohio, for taking his show on the road in the first recorded ice cream truck back in 1920. If anyone reading this was alive in the 1920s we'd like to buy you a free ice cream bar on us. If anyone knows someone who was alive in the 1920s please forward them this email and let them know that their generation is making kids and 10 questionable adults who put together this almost daily newsletter happy by bringing ice cream sandwiches, strawberry shortcake bars, SpongeBob pops, and firecrackers to the world. Which reminds us, if you see the creative director jumping off things or the social media wiz reading her new book, feel free to sing them “Happy Birthday” and buy them a cold one. Any of the frozen delicacies above should do. We scream, you scream.
What a lovely day indeed.
