Q. What is the Mean Green Ice Cream Machine?
A. The Mean Green Ice Cream Machine (MGICM) started out as an original white 1975 Chevy International Good Humor ice cream truck. The truck had seen better days from the many years of service delivering ice cream. The outside was stripped down to bare metal, repainted in a bright green paint with customized vinyl graphics added. The truck then continued its transformation with custom hydraulics installed along with a powerful sound system, custom rims and other features. The freezer was completely overhauled and steam cleaned.

Q. Is the truck inspected, insured and licensed?
A. Yes, the truck has been inspected just like every other food establishment and received a perfect score of 100 from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. The truck is insured both as a business and for the vehicle itself.

Q. How much does it cost for the Mean Green Ice Cream Machine to show up at my event?
A. Please refer to our rentals page or contact us for unique events. We wok with each of our customers to make their event special.

Q. Can I rent and drive the Mean Green Ice Cream Machine myself?
A. Due to insurance regulations, we do not allow anyone but our staff to operate the Mean Green Ice Cream Machine.

Q. What kind of products do you carry?
A. We stock up to thirty different types of ice creams that are all pre-packaged along with candy. We do not offer soft-serve ice cream on our truck as that would require multiple sinks and water regulations. We also carry sodas, waters and novelty items for purchase.
