Ice cream van

A bit of a random one
At this time of year, does anyone else hear ice cream vans around where they live?
I have heard them several times over the past few weeks...surely they can’t sell that many ice creams at this time of year?
Any explanation?
I did hear a rumour that some ice cream vans diversify into selling illicit substances, not sure how true that is...
Alternatively, could be an ice cream van owner using it as an excuse to go for a drive during lockdown?

At my old house we had one all year round and they sold other items like drinks crisps snack and cigs and I did suspect drugs as well
Some ice cream vans have been selling bread and essential items to those who can't get out

In wales some ice cream vans the owners were dressed as father Xmas selling toffee apples 🍎 and Xmas sweets and father Xmas shaped ice lollies it was nice for the kids
If you do ever get a site that doesn’t work abroad you can use a VPN and connect to a British server, then it should work.
An old acquaintance briefly worked as an assistant on a local ice cream van, he left as soon as he realised it was mainly a front for selling drugs to kids.
