    “Pipe wielding ice cream men”…on one level that’s gotta be pretty intimidating but on another, it’s ridiculously funny.

      Right?! It sounds exactly like Mr. Freeze's henchmen. It's made even funnier when you realize that Mr. Freeze's main base of operations is an Ice Cream Truck factory that I believe is a rip on Mister Softie.

      Mostly intimidating, but could be mostly funny instead if they were all wearing those Mr. Softee esque mascot masks while doing their vicious bidding

    In Dublin, Ireland ice cream turf wars are very much a thing as well. Ice cream vans have their designated areas, and selling outside of your turf can lead to a heap of violence. It can be a pretty rough gig, apparently there's been a rivalry between two different ice cream vans that go back to the 80s!

    It was not accidental, too powerful an explosion.
