Today on the Costa Mesa Pod, I scream, you scream, we all scream for the So-Cal Social Ice Cream Truck! I interviewed Sandy Griswold, who is behind Orange County's new & unique ice cream event truck. This classic 1956 Chevy has been restored and has a chic, polished, and classic vibe. Some of the delicious ice cream they serve is reminiscent of the nostalgia that goes along with the 1950s and ice cream pop culture, like Good Humor, Klondike & Haagen-Dazs, to name a few. The So-Cal Social Ice Cream Truck has been a popular feature at many local events, including golf tournaments, community events, school events, work events, work parties, birthday parties and more! They are also available for photoshoots. An ice cream truck like this is like taking a step back in time and their customer service is top notch. Nothing beats an icy cool treat when you live in Southern California so close to the beach! You can check them out on Instagram at @so.calsocial.
