What It Takes To Be Mister Softee | Forbes

[@69airride3]

I was a NYPD cop in the South Bronx from the early 80's to my retirement in the mid 2000"s. And we would tell the new rookies fresh on the streets of the South Bronx, there are many things to remember out here to survive but one of the most important things to remember is.....always, always wave to Mister Softee and never ever give Mr. Softee a hard time. Mr. Softee always did the right thing by us and the neighborhood!!! Always look out for Mr. Softee!!!!!

Nothing’s better than being outside on a hot summer day and hearing an ice cream truck approach your house and the adrenaline running to get some cash to catch the truck before he drives off

[@kingjellybean9795]

My local og Mr Softee passed a few years back but sold it to his number 2 a young Spanish buck and he's killing it since he took over. But og was like 75 lol he was my parents Mr softee. He'd give out free cones at the end of summer. God rest his soul

[@sunndog5715]

It’s not officially Summer until Mr Softee comes around. Truth!

[@spookedhorse]

Had 2 in my neighborhood in the 70's. Both drivers were awesome. Sal and Franco. They'd stop on my block and always lookout for us kids. Sometimes there were like 30 of us cramming to get stuff. Those sweltering hot NJ summers were brutal but it never mattered with Softee around. Now there's only one truck left in town. Same family still owns it. Every summer I go back to NJ and never miss the truck. This is a good part of life.

[@briancunningham3155]

The Mister Softee song is part of the soundtrack of my youth! ❤️

[@BXMKE]

From the lower east side of the Bronx, Mr Softee will always be in my heart!

[@YoooRico]

People calling out bacteria filled ice cream yet ya still eat dirty junk food from the deli everyday and say nothing about that. Hypocrites

[@classicalshabby1537]

Exactly I’m gonna arrest those hypocrites

[@margaretgarcilazo1112]

Ok arrest them

[@jusliving7977]

Many believe that the Mister Softee Ice Cream truck is an NYC thing. Yet, actually this company was founded and still operates in Philadelphia. Mister Softee was founded in 1956 by brothers William Aloysius Conway (1922-2004) and James Francis Conway (1927-2006) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

[@homerfry9234]

Early 70's got in trouble with my mom many times buying ice cream sandwiches from Mr Softee "to close to dinner", Grand Island NY

[@ΑλεξάνδραΚόντι]

[@JsonCamp13]

My father was a mister softee truck driver when I was younger in PA. He did that over the weekends along with selling cars. Good times...

[@gladysvelez9749]

My childhood Summer's was perfect with Mr Softee and Good Humor......loved that Jingle..!!!

[@XenonFoxy]

We need Mister Softee in the UK. I think we had it back in the 50s. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@42luke93]

who else is watching this right after they bought an ice cream from their home in front?

[@venomdank965]

I remember these growing up In New Jersey

[@joshuakirschenbaum417]

They say they're on the streets every day maybe in the summertime but when that winter hits no more mister Softee.

[@fundude4566]

He’s got the New York accent so it makes it even better.

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

Adding this to my favorites

[@to513ny7]

I was born in the Bronx and Mister Softee has been there from the beggining for me and i still buy the ice cream from there

[@jinnij9721]

Bro they got bootleg now days.

[@Brownsugar89]

[@majestikcenteno2149]

I used to live in NYC and Mr softee came there.

[@kyro2343]

Not the non New Yorkers saying it's bacteria filled. This is truck is the highlight of every new york childs dream

[@hannahduggan3599]

I remember Sunday, April 2nd, 2023. I was getting ready for night church. The ice-cream truck came. I ran outside in my church outfit and bought ice-cream for myself and Daddy. Daddy. I got a strawberry shortcake ice-cream bar and Daddy got a chocolate milkshake. Zach bought ice-cream for Jeremiah. It was a small chocolate ice-cream cone.

[@woodykelleher9253]

Portable ice cream dealer? A neat idea!!

[@mauricelong4678]

Mister softee 1956 van has returned

[@flip1sba]

It's only now I know that there's Mister Softee in NY. I usually get Mister Softee in HK from time to time especially their Jumbo Orange.

[@johnthomas5576]

I LOVE 💖MISTER SOFTEE ICE🍦CREAM TRUCK 🚙😀👍💯

[@spookedhorse]

1:59 The perfect softee treat.

[@homer4635]

The truck with a driver who yelled at Arnold Diaz wasn't a Mr. Softee truck. It was a decommissioned one.

[@Swift_vfx666alt]

Dude you should put a sign that says open for business in Mr. Softee the ice cream truck

[@britneybroomfield7123]

Ayyye I know Mr. José!

[@peterbobby99]

Didn't they fail the bacteria test? lol

[@VictorGarcia-rs9mv]

Marshall Mathers they did I don't even know why this video is up

[@nicksysak8150]

Doesn't mean every truck is dirty. And it was a coliform test.

[@CM-xr9oq]

nick - That particular Mr Softee franchise did in fact fail. And don't belittle a coliform test.

[@GH123XL]

Yeah, I just saw them on CBS news. The guy got angry on the reporter.

[@homer4635]

@@GH123XL That wasn't a Mr. Softee truck.

[@ChocolateAristocrat]

Just get it done😄 treat your customers right

[@fireweatherguy]

0:22 I want that 2nd cone on the bottom it looks delicious

[@Artsartisan]

I could not work on a route through a neighborhood providing ice cream to the residents. The job could be enjoyable - meeting people throughout the neighborhood. Bringing a little happiness to a child - and children at heart would be great. It is the 'digital mu-sick" that would DRIVE ME CRAZY! By the end of the day - I would be a raving lunatic!

[@Alex-wt5ns]

Artsartisan copy and paste

[@catto5598]

I' m currently eating my ice cream that i got from an ice cream truck. Quick storytime! I believe it was summer, I was playing outside, and I heard that tune, but it wasn't getting louder. SO I ran to the noise, and it was an ice cream truck, but I didn't have any money and I was far away from my home so I just let it go past me. I still regret it.

[@theawesomebuddys3345]

What time do you come

[@GuyWithPizzaPie]

Come on you children and buy from me my name is Mister Softee, Come on you children and buy from me I'm here to take your money.

Wow, I didn't know those trucks brought so much business.

[@manna5amir]

***** That is also true. They should serve something else for that season, but I doubt the company will ever do that.

This is Justin. I accept How to become Mr. softee.

[@HaruTheCatte]

I have a question, if you drive the ice cream truck can u eat the icecream for FREE? Or you can’t eat it at all.

[@ihavenoclevername8300]

I swear I try to catch this truck with its ice cream in my neighborhood hopefully this Saturday

[@celica9098]

What’s the point of buying an ice cream truck franchise when you could just start your own ice cream truck? It’s not like there’s any dominant brand out there, which is the only real advantage franchising provides for franchisees.

[@jimmylane8685]

Mr softy is #1

Hey dude my dad works for mister softee Long Island do you work at New York

[@tammiemulligan4779]

Can you bring your Mr. softy truck to Hurleyville, New York for ice cream?

[@johndeveney3878]

It's unfortunate that it cost over $100k for a "refurbished truck" (not new). Then they stick you with that 25% franchise fee! That "$900" just turned into $500... don't forget overhead, gas, commissary fees, taxes etc. Too bad he can't keep All of it!

[@vintage1520]

Yo that song haha nyc

[@cleet6047]

*Sells man a cyanide laced ice cream cone*

[@youngliontv2100]

damn..that's terrible... the drivers could get their own trucks,get licensed,and work for themselves instead of slave driving for those craccas smh

[@tencz57]

Idiot . It's those craccas that make everything work . From the Softee ice cream which is their brand to everything else that's sold off the truck . All Softee . It is a good deal and a easy job if you know anything bout making money .!!

[@andregilkey7146]

YOUNGLION TV it cost the same to get a truck built.... just without the extra royalties and fees so you are exactly right

[@kadeperry673]

I caught the jingle on the peanuts movie
