The ice cream truck

Did you grow up buying ice cream from a ice cream truck? I remember they use to have soft serve ice cream. I am not normally one to waste money on things like ice cream from the ice cream truck when I know I could buy double at the store.
For whatever reason when the kids came screaming about the ice cream truck I said yes. I let the kids all chose what they wanted and we still only paid $6.50. Not bad and maybe I will be the nice mom and do it again. I am sure now that he knows this house has a bunch of children he will be back.
Do you let your kids buy ice cream from the ice cream truck and if so what are there favorite kinds?
