Ingenious parallels!! My favorites are earl grey and stumptown coffee flavors by Molly Moon in Seattle!

I found it hilarious, but perhaps that's because my favorite (toasted almond) was missed.
For those asking -- yes there are still Good Humor trucks. One rolls by our apartment building in Brooklyn with song blaring every evening.

No hater can taint the memory of a GH chocolate eclair or a toasted almond on a hot summer day. Haven't had one of those in decades. I'll never have one again - don't want to ruin that memory. BTW my mom ate them too. (Dad was a Fudgsicle guy.)

I like Nestlé Drumsticks and those ice bars that used to be shaped like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Also moon mist ice-cream.

Aw I thought this was cute! A goofy jab at processed ice cream and ourselves? No one's perfect, right? If you have to make it up to the unhappy readers, I vote for recipies of these treats to make at home! :)

I can try that! At least for some! Maybe homemade Chipwiches. We've got homemade fudgesicles from Alice Medrich on the site. That's a good place to start.

Klondike Caramel Preztle recipe please!!! Although that could be dangerous to own, the Kind Midas Touch of ice creeam making.

Many/most cities don't allow the ice cream trucks with the tinkling call to children anymore because too many helicopter parents thought it was to dangerous to have their children running after the trucks with money in hand and speeding traffic dangers.

Well, I thought it was amusing! And now I want my favorite Strawberry Shortcake bar.

I'm thankful for the revisions the editors made to the piece overnight but still, articles featuring "haters" so prominently simply cannot by their nature, to my mind, be funny. Increasingly, the content on this site fails to speak to me. This piece makes me (i) wonder what happened to the Food52 I used to know, and (ii) want to go somewhere else. ;o)

Lighten up. It's all in good fun, and it's still about food. Sort of.
PS: I'm from an era when social media didn't tell us it's "not okay" to call a hater a hater. Really. It's okay. They'll live. And in my day, they also learned.

I am living in Denmark, and do not know any of the ice creams, but would go for the magnum peanutbutter - and you know what a lot of the "What we would say" is stuff my friends says to me Lol.

I think this is funny, but not as funny as the one about what your favorite Easter candy says about you. That one was my favorite.

I disagree, Dustimily. This article is obviously meant to poke a little fun at the imperfections that we all possess in one way or anot(her. I don't understand the distaste so many readers have for this piece. If you care to look at it through a different perspective, you43 can see the underlying theme. The idea is that no matter how good we think we are, we all have our flaws. No person is immune to having a personality quirk(s). Lighten up, People....

It's a tough crowd. Maybe I didn't read closely enough...I just got Nostalgic about the Good Humor Man

My favorite is Chipwich, but judging from the comments, it should probably be a lemon popsicle: tart, icy, and even a little bitter. But maybe my mom would say I'm refreshing?

I agree with the comments below. The tone on this article is not really in keeping with that of this site. It is neither informative nor amusing. In fact it is mildly offensive.

Soooooo all y'all had a case of PMS when you wrote this? Or are you just heavily favoring Strawberry Shortcake?
So far as I am concerned, any chocolate is good chocolate.

King Cone??? I thought they were called Nutty Buddy. No Good Humor trucks in my 'hood...just Michoacan carts.

Why are none of the descriptions for "What We Would Say" positive? They're *all* negative.
And that thing you call Chocolate Eclair? No. Definitely not. THAT is not a real eclair.

It's all in good humor! (Get it?) and that's not our name for the chocolate éclair—it's the official name! :)

You missed my favorite, Toasted Almond. But I haven't seen a Good Humor truck around here ever. (and that means 20 years)

Are there still Good Humor Trucks? I know that long ago they discontinued my favorite, the Raspberry -Peach Humorette. Peach ice cream covered with raspberry sherbet. Second choice was Toasted Almond.
See what other Food52 readers are saying.
