I don't know how the drivers aren't driven mad by hearing those jingles all day. I go berserk just walking by them.
If I was an evil prison warden, I'd play those tunes to punish the prisoners.
They're also loud enough to damage your hearing.

Of course, us kids would modify the words to a rude version, and would run around singing that as loud as possible. The vendor wasn't mad, he was just amused by our antics.

Get job, would be fairly immune to covid down-turn - might actually be a mini-boom. Many good memories just not of the tune. "Just one Cornetto ..."
They also have a type of peddler that drives around with what is essentially a coal furnace strapped to a motorbike. He sells hot buns. There’s literally fire and smoke coming out from his tail end.
(You can see fire at the end when he drives off. But it’s a small one. I seen much larger fires.)
>> In addition, torturers used what has been called "futility music", like [repeatedly looping] Barney's "I love you" and the song from the Meow Mix commercial...
I wouldn't have put it past them to use this, either.
Nothing to make "fun" about really, as this is a real thing in torture camps. Not with ice cream truck music, though.
Also playing music over and over is considered torture.
