I am thinking of starting an Ugly Logo pool. Any interest?
I gave into temptation and had a chocolate cone with chocolate sprinkles.

And I hope he led you down three blocks

No. The truck was sitting at a corner on the
Upper West Side, I think near Columbus
somewhere.

Nice. I saw two of these today walking around
downtown. A sure sign that summer's just
around the corner. By the way, did you know
that the Mr. Softee song actually has lyrics?
I'll see if I can dig them up somewhere.

It always freaked me out that his head was an
ice cream cone.
So an ugly logo pool would be great and Mr.
Softee would be a charter member!
I did know the Mr. Softee jingle had lyrics
to it, a tidbit gleaned from the news when
they were talking about new noise
restrictions last year. The company is also
based somewhere in New Jersey.

I recall reading in Weird N.J. that their HQ is in New Jersey somewhere and
they have half a truck on the roof as a sign.

They were also voted as the Best Ice Cream
from a truck recently....I like their
products, but our local truck comes down our
street at 9:30 every night like some kind of
surreal movie scene. I hate it's music.

I hate the music, too. However, it is a great
deal - $2.00 for a cone of soft chocolate ice
cream with chocolate sprinkles. Perfect to
find while biking trhough the city on a warm
day!

I found an MP3 and lyrics of the jingle from WFMU's Beware of the Blog :
I can tell you that the Mr. Softee theme was
probably written by Waas-Block Productions of
Philadelphia, because a bit of it turned up
on an old commercial demo reel of theirs that
I used to have. This page specifically cites Les Waas as the producer
and perhaps composer.
The creamiest, dreamiest soft ice cream
You get from Mister Softee.
For a refreshing delight supreme
Look for Mister Softee.
My milkshakes and my sundaes and my cones
are such a treat.
Listen for my store on wheels—ding-a-ling
down the street.
