HemGlass / Home Icecream
Icecream Vans (the ones that play music) in Sweden don't give out "99's" and Feasts... They sell boxes of icecream that you put in your freezer. And they opperate throughout the year. They don't play Greensleeves. They play a (standard) crappy jingle, but at least it has a standard volume, and it's predictable. The places that the vans stop are pre-destined much like a bus-route. It's so well organised that you can find out when the next one will be there by looking here on the internet.
Kids seemingly have never been told that the music means "we've run out".

So... freshly armed with this useless fact, you can now go happily on holiday to Sweden, in the full knowledge that when you see a blue van, with "hemglass" on it playing music, you can go out and buy a big box of icecream. For you freezer. The freezer that, bring on holiday, you probably won't have.
Arse.
