Mr Softee is an American soft serve ice cream truck company founded in 1956 in Philadelphia, and its trucks became known for playing a distinctive jingle through loudspeakers to attract customers. Generations heard the melody from a distance before the truck appeared, so it became a shared summer memory in many neighborhoods. Online, clips of the jingle are shared as a soundboard sound because the tune alone tells the whole story, standing in for ice cream trucks, childhood summers and the excitement of hearing dessert arrive.
