I loved hearing the ice cream truck when I was a kid. The orange/vanilla "ice cream" was so-so even by my lower standards then but the plastic stick had a figurine and you never knew what it was going to be till you ate the ice cream. Good marketing tool for a second rate product.

I've had truly awesome creamsicles. These weren't among them. They had collectibles instead.

Really - they are creamsicles not dreamsicles? My mother always called the orange and vanilla mixed ones dreamsicles.

There is (or was) a brand of orange sherbet covered ice milk called dreamsicle.

And apparently the Dreamsicle creator went to jail on tax evasion!

Wow that answer was from 1975!! Hankster was still a maiden lady!!!! I would say the figurines hadnt been invented yet, as they look like a knockoff of the weird blue german clay preborn thingies, remember those? Sorry that was offensive but not as offensive as people having whole curio cabinets in their houses stuffed with these things back in the 80s and 90s. Okay that was offensive too. Ill shut up now. They are lovely.
