Sweden's ice cream vans, operated by Hemglass, differ from traditional models by selling bulk ice cream directly from the back of 300 trucks making 15,000 nightly stops. Established in 1968, these vans leverage the common household freezer to deliver flavors like salty liquorice. The trucks ensure product quality as ice cream avoids time outside the freezer during delivery. Initially signaled by a bell, the vans are now recognized for their jingle, marking their frequent and popular service within Swedish neighborhoods.
