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, green neon, video, custom rims and other features. The freezer was completely overhauled and steam cleaned.

Q. Is the truck inspected, insured and licensed?
A. Yes. In 2012, the truck was once again ripped apart to be able to meet the Tennessee Department of Health's requirement for serving ice cream desserts and treats. Our truck was equipped with a totally custom interior, sinks, freezers and work area to meet the stringent rules. We scored a 98 out of a possible 100 in our Health Score.
