Ice cream has been around in some form since 2nd century B.C., but until the 1800s it remained a rare treat only enjoyed by elites. It was eventually sold by street vendors and after prohibition, when the popularity of soda fountains and malt shops surged, in storefronts as well. The first ice cream trucks, as we know them, emerged in the 1920s as street vendors made use of automobiles. The rest is, as they say, history. Do you have a favorite ice cream treat?
