Over a century of bringing smiles and sweet memories to neighborhoods across America
Harry Burt, a candy maker from Youngstown, Ohio, invented the chocolate-coated ice cream bar on a wooden stick. His daughter suggested coating vanilla ice cream with chocolate, and his son came up with the idea of putting it on a stick—making it easier to eat without messy hands. The Good Humor bar was born!
Harry Burt created the first fleet of white refrigerated trucks equipped with bells to announce their arrival. The clean white trucks and uniformed "Good Humor Men" became symbols of trust and quality in neighborhoods across America. The distinctive bells could be heard blocks away, sending children running with excitement!
Good Humor trucks became an American institution. The "Good Humor Man" was a trusted figure in communities—always in crisp white uniforms, known for their friendly service. The company introduced beloved treats like the Toasted Almond bar, Strawberry Shortcake, and Chocolate Éclair that remain favorites today.
At Sweet Memories Ice Cream, we're proud to preserve this cherished American tradition. Our authentic 1960s Good Humor trucks have been lovingly restored to bring that same joy and nostalgia to your special events. When you hear our bells, you're experiencing a piece of American history!
