Growing up, there were few things more exciting during summer than hearing that little ditty playing that meant only one thing … the Ice Cream Man is coming!

Soon he’d be rounding the corner of our street, and so my little brother and I would make a mad dash inside the house to plead for some cash – and quick – so we could make it back outside in time to get our hot little hands on a cool, refreshing ice cream treat.

Fast forward to today … not much has changed. Precious little faces still light up each time they hear the familiar tune that promises sweet treats in colorful wrappers. Sadly, we now that know these nostalgic treats are chock-full of unhealthy preservatives and harmful additives.
