When I was growing up, ice creams and sweet things were either too expensive or children \u00b4s stuff. Eating jelly babies was something of a non-adult thing to do. Then, I grew up, got a bit more of pocket money and came to London.<\/p>\n
Something wonderful that I discovered, those small vans selling ice cream to\u00a0kids in the area. There is this peculiar and distinctive sound which one can hear from miles around. It brings me a smile instantly. They also carry a funny motto on them – Mind that Child! Where I am from, there are\u00a0lots of shops around where people just go and buy them. So, I guess this is a\u00a0lovely way to sort a need out.<\/p>\n
Well, I tend to find their cone ice cream a bit greasy and a bit too `iced\u00b4. But, they also sell other ice creams and some sweets. Both, ice cream vans and ice creams bring me back to that state where I feel instant relax and\u00a0gratification.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u00b4m not the only one! So glad! When one thinks of those ice creams with a strong sexual feeling attached to it in the media, I don\u00b4t feel transported to my childhood nor anything. It just makes me feel that it is all right to eat ice creams no matter how old I am. There is even an ice cream month!<\/p>\n
What is your favourite flavour? Mine is chocolate, and I found a curious association of ice cream flavours and personality in an infographic. Check yours below!<\/p>\n
