There’s something about a brutal summer heatwave that makes your brain revert to simpler times. Maybe it’s the dehydration. Maybe it’s the smell of asphalt melting. But suddenly all I want is something cold, sweet, and preferably handed to me out of a truck that plays haunting little songs.
As a kid, I’d sprint barefoot down the street just to catch the ice cream truck, holding a sweaty dollar and praying it didn’t drive past. Now? I open my freezer like it owes me something and settle for whatever pint has the least frostbite.
Whether you’re chasing nostalgia or just trying not to melt into the sidewalk, ice cream still hits. And so do these memes.
