Here's a question for all you US and Canadian folk:
Soft serve ice cream - which is often known as Mr Whippy ice cream in the UK - was apparently invented in Canada according to wikipedia.
But one thing that's common in the UK is to stick a piece of Cadbury's flake into an ice cream cone, which is then called a 99, for some reason.
Is this a thing in America?

🍦 Oh, surprise! 🚚 The ice cream truck has a #history, because apparently everything needs a backstory now. #Longreads has become the Wikipedia of brain freeze, begging for #donations so you can tell your grandkids why Mr. Whippy exists. 👏

@PaulWay that's me, every time I hear "Greensleeves" ringing out across the valley.
The music brings the icecream.

Happiness is a Mr Whippy van.
It's sad Greensleeves melody wafts in on a breeze.
A windshift and it's gone.
Another and it's moved further away.
Then close and on the other road.
Run out the front and listen carefully.
Check money is available.
A sudden boost in volume as it turns a corner.
Now run.
If all goes well a nut sundae awaits!

Gorgeous day in #ŌtautahiChristchurch -rather blustery - but 24 degrees. Walked the dog and had a #MrWhippy. Feels like holidays!
