Scoops and Scandals: Uncovering Glasgow's Infamous Ice Cream Wars
Welcome Back Valkyrie’s!
Last week we talked about fruitcakes, this week we move to ice cream, well the ice cream delivery trucks anyway. Did you know that in the 1980s, Glasgow’s ice cream trucks were embroiled in a turf war, marked by violence, intimidation, and even murder. It was a battle for control of the streets and the right to sell ice cream (and other things) to the local residents. This week’s story isn’t just about ice cream, its about power struggles and organized crime even. So as you hear the music of the ice cream truck coming down your street ready to sell you that delicious treat, remember in Glasgow in the 80s it was not nearly as sweet as it seemed.
