So many memories. Running out for ice cream with my little girls. Delightful, Carrie. So true, we need these feel good stories.

Your story brought back memories. I drove a Good Humor truck one summer in Pittsburgh while in college (45 years ago). It was the best way for me to make good money. It was a "jump truck" that drove like a tank with four on the floor and no passenger-side door. Tammy Hauser is much more good-natured about her venture than all of us drivers. The jingle "he's the friendly man who sells Good Humor" was not in our repertoire. We were all about getting every nickel and dime we could. We had uniforms -- very unflattering uniforms. And, as one of only 2 female drivers, no one recognized my gender. I was 21 years old and moderately pretty. "Tell the man what you want," was a familiar refrain among parents escorting their children. So many funny stories. I wonder if there is a club for former Good Humor truck drivers?

There is a Facebook group, but I don't think it's limited to Good Humor drivers.

Thanks for the great article and the laugh at the end. I think Carrie is right. Tammy is an undercover comedian. In everything she does, she finds a way to make some delicious fun for all of us.

My son and family (wife & 2 teen girls) in lake Geneva, WI own and operate a business like this in the summer. Smaller truck, but kids birthdays, etc. it’s a good college savings earning business! Your article was great. I sent it to all 4 of them for fun reading.

Not fully recovered yet, I'm afraid. And no smell whatsoever. Very odd.
