You aren’t Philly, unless you know Mister Softee

Mr. Softee

You aren’t Philly if you haven’t had water ice, a cheesesteak, tastykake, soft pretzel, or

Mister I will never get the song out of my head Softee.

Mister Softee is like cheesesteaks. You aren’t Philly unless you’ve had a few.

The song will NEVER leave your brain. It runs on and on and on and on. I am sure it has made someone go literally certifiable crazy over the years. Mister Softee has been an institution since the 1950s. Two brothers started the business here in South Jersey. And the company continues handing out ice cream treats today to young and old generations alike.

Don’t you remember running after the truck from blocks away and almost seeing a kid getting hit?

Ahhhhhh, the good old days. Great memories. A Philly Area institution that never gets the credit it deserves.
