I'm absolutely positive these aired in 1960. I vividly remember being six years old, and my infant nephew would for some reason start crying and screaming hysterically when the image of Softee appeared during the commercial, and I'd jump up and try to block the TV screen. I never did figure out why he had that reaction. I assume he grew out of it.

[@mikamamma]

When I was little, I think the image of Mister Softee kind of freaked me out a little, too, but combined with the sweet little tune, my little brain was able to compartmentalize the odd feeling I got from Mister Softee’s ice cream head and focus more on the music and allow me to keep it together and not cry. I obviously didn’t realize that’s what was happening at the time but looking back on the commercial, now, as an adult, it kind of brought it all back for me and I see how I must’ve learned to cope. So interesting to me. I absolutely love his image now, as it’s pure nostalgia associated with a fun little tune and some great ice cream!

When I was a child (1960s) every May to late September, Mr. Softee would come down my street at about 6:30 each evening. It was a treat when our parents would give us the cash to buy some ice cream. Then, about 1970, he raised his prices, and his business in my neighborhood dropped off to about one-third of what it had been.

[@Musicradio77Network]

I remember the first version of the "Mister Softee" song played since I was young at the time when they had those old vintage late 1950's Ford ice cream trucks where they blared out the loudspeaker. I could not find the original clip of the first "Mister Softee" jingle playing when this was hear for a few seconds before they updated to a better version that you hear today. I grew up in the NYC metro area when Mister Softee was driving around during the summer and hear this song, but never gets old. I'm from Brooklyn, NY and I have not been having Mister Softee in a very long time. As for the commercials, they usually ran in New York City since the early 1960's when Mister Softee became popular all over the place. There was one that I remember was Kustard King, one of the few ice cream trucks located in Brooklyn, NY and it was a competitor to Mister Softee, and then Freezer Fresh. These two are still one of the many competitors to Mister Softee.

0:49 is the 1960 Ford Boyertown step van, and I see the Mister Softee graphics on there, but it’s still remains the same, except the sundae graphics was the original, but it got replaced with a another sundae graphic with a spoon dipped in, and the milkshake graphic is still exactly the same, and the Civil Defense graphic was removed. When did Mister Softee updated the sundae graphic? It might be the late 1960’s or early 1970’s I believe, and added “The Very Best” graphic on the front of the truck. Other step vans uses the Olsen Grumman Kurbmaster and Grumman for their Mister Softee ice cream trucks.

We just finished dinner and I was upstairs going to brush my teeth and I heard this weird tinny music, like something from a ice cream truck from days long gone. I looked out the window and there, there was a brand new Mr. Softee truck sitting at a corner with the music playing to attract potential customers. Sadly, no one came out to get a Mr. Softee ice cream cone and the truck drove off into the sunset. Wow, mask wearing is lifted a few hours ago and the Mr. Softee trucks are out like Ants I bet. And that could be a good thing. Quit your jobs and do it. Right. Mister Softee Franchise Cost /Initial Investment/Franchise Income Mister Softee requires a $7,500 franchising fee, and a $40,000 initial deposit for the manufacturing of the branded truck, which ultimately costs $115,000 in total. The Mister Softee Franchise is optimistic that all costs can be recouped during the first year of operation.
