| Good job. Of course, the first thing that came to mind was Santa until the holly clue. Then the frozen. Add that to jolly (jolly cone) and poof - ice cream man.
Cute and well written.

| Great teaser, but i just have one question, how does the ice cream man love the time of christmas? i mean, how do you assume they do? they dont sell ice cream at christmas, and what if they dont celebrate it? |

| Nice riddle. Easy though.
Hey! Can't there be a place where one can read the deleted entries if they wish? I, for one, would find it very interesting. I hate it when there are comments about comments I cannot read. Just a thought. |
coachpisco
Jan 29, 2006
| At first, I thought it was Santa. |
mogur
Jan 29, 2006
| Nice teaser, if not a little ethnocentric, since only in the northern hemisphere is it true. But, hey, ya can't be politically correct all the time, to all the people. Good job. |
shawneeo
Jan 29, 2006
| That was very well-written! Good idea about the seeming St. Nic answer. This would be excellent for kids: to introduce them to teasers and how the apparent answer may not be the right one.
I take it the "this is offensive" is part of the new format. Couldn't it be either smaller, or on the right bottom, or say: "If this comment was offensive, click here."? It seems too visible and at first glance it seems that all the comments are offensive. I wish it could be less "negative seeming", have like, you know, less of a negative vibe-o, you know, bro?
Thanks for the good teaser, Thanks! |
brainster
Jan 29, 2006
| Nice one! I enjoyed the deliberate attempt to make the reader assume it was something else, the 'jingle' rings an instant bell and throws you off! |

OldChinaHand

| The bell is sometime replaced by music and even by voice of the pushcart peddlers selling there frozen treats. A real cool one. |
smee
Jan 29, 2006
| I didn't get it at first because in our neighborhood we have THREE ice cream guys who drive around, and they don't jingle, they play some silly tune over a speaker over and over and over... but then I remembered that the ice cream men used to have bells instead of music, so I took a guess and I was right. This is a good teaser! |

| Again we do have some out there who are good a writing in rhyme. Enjoyable and creative. Was too easy for me tho as I'm old enough to remember the "bells" on the local ice cream man's truck. Why would you like to read unpleasant verbage rediculing the hard work someone goes to when this is such a good will site? There is already too much sadness in the world. Let's keep this HAPPY!!! |

FulanitoGM
Jan 30, 2006
| When I was a kid, we didn't call him an "ice cream man." He was a "paletero." They're still around to this day and they STILL have the real jingling bells. " 'Member? You 'member!" Not really all that important, but all my Latinos out there know exactly what I'm talking about with both of those references!
By the way, I think Moqur used "ethnocentric" wrong. I think he meant to say "culturally-biased." Or maybe "hemispherically-biased?" Whatever. I was offended, so I'm suing! (Just kidding, people. I loved the teaser...) |
WJSMama
Jan 30, 2006
| That was cute. I had to think a second about who, besides santa, it could be. But I got it fairly easily. Great job! We called ours "Dan, Dan, the icecream man!" He was awesome |

| Great Job! It may have ben easy for some people, but I think it was one of those that fooled most people for a moment until their brains did a "focus" adjustment and then the answer came soon after. It was well-written and fun; what more can one expect from this site. I haven't seen many better anywhere else. I appreciate your work! |

| Very fun! I got it (after mulling over a few options) because of the bell part.
Though it's tempting, I'm not going to say that a riddle's easy from now on because I like easier riddles. Personally, if they're too hard, I probably won't want to do it. Saying it's easy makes it sound like it's a negative aspect of the riddle, when I usually like 'em like this! [/rant] |

I love the deceptive quality to the whole christmassy-sound to the teaser (although I didn't think about how the Aussies would be misled by this until reading a few of their comments!) Very well done! |

Jan 29, 2010
| Apparently I'm getting better at these. The first time around, back in 2000-whatever, I must have been stumped, because I rated this one difficult. But today, even though I didn't remember ever seeing it before, I immediately thought "Aha, the ice cream man!" No way to go back and change my rating to easy, though. Oh well, make way for the Emperor of Ice Cream! |
katamaster
Jan 29, 2010
| I got this one but in reality I haven't seen the Ice Cream man during the winter in about 30 years. I remember we had Good Humor and Bungalow Bar trucks that used to come to my neighborhood. Now we have Mr. Softee but only in the summer. |
