The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for July 11, 2019

Ooh, and in the greater Los Angeles area there were Helms trucks too. Yummy!

I thought they were called roach coaches

ah yes, Mr Softee

They were milk waggons, pulled by a horse.

What is the Hi Test? Is it his drink?

In the old days they were called chuckwagons.

Where I lived, in upstate New York, there was a pizza-slice truck, too…with a similar calliope lure.

Then there were also hot dog mobile vendors, who walked around with a handcart that had pre-cooked hot dogs…

At my last base they brought in several roach coaches with different cuisines for a roach coach cook off. Kinda like Italian method if testing to see if the pasta is done by throwing it against wall to see if it sticks. One of the worst concepts was a Kobe beef truck, proving you call ground beef anything you want as long as you aren’t in Japan.

We had the Peter Wheat Bread trucks – donuts delivered to your doorstep!!

In Bermuda, they were called Vegetable Trucks.
