Ice Cream Wars!!!

It's Still Spring, But the Ice Cream Truck War Revs Up!

I totally believe it man. I love the ice cream trucks in NY. They're everywhere! And you can get the most amazing concoctions. Like this one time while at the Inwood park I got a raspberry dipped chocolate ice cream on a waffle cone. HEAVENLY! But..... more along the line of turf wars though fairly unrelated... One time when i was very broke (imagine that) I managed to eat only a corner stand banana and a waffle cone for lunch every day. Just the waffle cone mind you. There was an ice cream man one block from the Met that would give me one for free and sit and chat. This was not only good company, but let me have a "well-rounded" meal for only 25 cents.
One day, he wasn't there. Instead it was this other ice cream man. When I asked as kindly as possible if I could have a cone ( I also told him I was willing to buy it for a quarter) he handed one to me and then told me it would be $2! $2!!!! for a cone! A cone i couldn't give back because it was already in my hand. A cone that would only cost 25 cents more to fill will luscious ice cream! I was soooooo angry. But being me...I paid him and stomped off rather than giving him a piece of my mine. I now just hope he loses his corner.
