Back in our day, our ears would perk up at the sounds of an ice cream truck rolling through the neighborhood. We never knew when the truck would arrive, but those first musical notes always sent us dashing indoors to grab some quarters.
In 2018, there’s no need to wait for the ice cream man anymore. That gourmet banana split or fro-yo craving? It can now be satisfied with a few taps on our phones. Today, you’ll find several ice cream, custard, smoothie and yogurt shops available for delivery on apps like Waitr.
But without a large ice truck, do the treats actually stay fresh? Yes, according to Holy Cow Frozen Custard owner Kristi May. The Denham Springs dessert shop joined the delivery service this year. To ensure the freshest products, Waitr uses an insulated bag to prevent the custard from melting. The shop restricts delivery to a seven-mile radius, guaranteeing that the car ride to the customer is not overly long. And most importantly, the shop watches its timing.
