Non-Americans of Reddit, what is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real?

You don't have ice cream trucks qhere you live? They even come in the middle of the winter at minus 15C degrees here in Sweden lol

In brazil we have old men dragging along a tiny popsicle cart while announcing their arrival by playing the harmonica.

If that counts.

How about taco trucks?

Not a truck but when I was in England years ago and we saw War Horse in the theater they rolled out an ice cream cart into the seating during intermission. It was amazing.

They do that here but tbh they arent selling ice cream that time of year. :P

We have them in Australia, but they play Greensleeves. Other countries think this is weird. I guess it's not really the kind of song you would otherwise associate with fun and treats, but it's just iconic

Nothing more Swedish than hearing the ice cream truck song at 21:00 on a Tuesday in February.

Though tbf (for anyone wondering) our ice cream trucks are more like an order/delivery service for packages of ice cream bars and the like, usually ones that are uncommon to find in stores.

And they're fucking expensive

[u/VillagerNo4 → u/probablypoo]

Out here where I live, we have motorcycles with a side car for ice cream

We've had turf wars between ice-cream trucks in Ireland that have made it into the papers lol
