that the melody"conjures memories of its racist iterations," which is why the company has partnered with Wu-Tang Clan's RZA to reimagine an ice cream jingle free from such baggage.
"Good Humor has not owned ice cream trucks since the 1970s, nor did we create “Turkey in the Straw” or any other jingles," the company wrote."However, as a leader in the industry, and the creator of the original ice cream truck, we want to be part of the solution on this issue, particularly since we work closely with so many ice cream truck drivers across the country."
The new jingle can be heard in a video posted to RZA and Good Humor's social media accounts and will be made available to trucks across the country, according to Good Humor, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. “We wanted to make a melody that includes all communities — that’s good for every driver, every kid,” RZA added. “And I’m proud to say, for the first time in a long time, a new ice cream truck jingle will be made available to trucks all across the country in perpetuity."
Turkey song better.

Can someone please tell me what wasn't racist in the past! Please do we can get The Wu-Tang to fix that too!
Because the first thing I think of when I hear an ice cream truck is Slavery....then, a few minutes later, I realize it was an ice cream truck.

Why is ice cream truck racist?
Were you aware of the songs past? Do you think the ice jingle should be changed?
Kinda sounds boring and sleepy though instead of upbeat and getting kids excited
