The Most Popular Ice Cream Truck Treat In Every State

One of the signature summertime experiences is getting a frozen treat from an ice cream truck. Seriously, we will never judge anyone who runs down the block chasing down soft-serve sundaes or who decides to jump out of the pool when they hear those iconic ice cream truck tunes, whether they're five or 50. Regardless of where you live, ice cream trucks offer up dozens of pre-packaged frozen novelties, but where you live will determine what those around you are ordering. Seriously.

Using Google trends over the last 12 months, Seaside Vacations found out the most popular ice cream truck treat in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. You may be surprised which sweets reign supreme. Here's the top treat in your state.

Drumstick ice cream cones are among the best desserts for chocolate lovers, and there must be plenty of those in Alaska. Ice cream eaters in The Last Frontier prefer these cones, which are filled with caramel or chocolate, dipped in chocolate and coated in peanuts.

It gets hot in Arkansas, but The Natural State knows how to turn lemons into (more than) lemonade. Their favorite way to cool down is with a refreshing Lemon Ice.

When it comes to the most popular candy in every state, Colorado residents are all about M&Ms, but they don't like chocolate in their frozen treats. This state prefers the orange and vanilla flavored Creamsicle.

The nation's capital is a beacon of patriotism, which must be why D.C. residents' most uniquely searched-for treat is the red, white and blue Firecracker.

Florida is known for one of the most iconic pies in America, the key lime pie. But what are Floridians eating in the summer? Firecrackers.

When it comes to the most iconic dessert in every state, Hawaii is known for its refreshing shave ice. But apparently Hawaiians get that icy treat elsewhere because they're going to the ice cream truck and ordering Crunch Bars, which is vanilla ice cream coated in chocolate and crispy crackle pieces.

Forget hot fudge sundaes — in Illinois, it's all-chocolate everything. The Prairie State's preferred ice cream treat is the Fudgsicle.

Iowa's preferred ice cream truck treat is a red, white and blue ice pop, but it's not the Firecracker. Instead, Iowans flock toward Bomb Pops, which have cherry, lime and blue raspberry flavors instead of cherry, white lemon and blue raspberry. It's a very important distinction.

There are 10 different versions of the classic Klondike Bar, including Krunch Bars, Mint Chocolate Chip, Oreo, and Double Chocolate Klondikes. No word on what flavor Kentucky residents prefer, but we do know they love a Klondike Bar.

Maine is known for one signature sandwich: the lobster roll. Then, apparently, residents of this New England state follow it up with another sandwich: the ice cream sandwich.

You can make your own frozen chocolate treat at home, but if you live in Massachusetts, odds are you're just going to hit up the ice cream truck for a Fudgsicle.

A malt is one of those retro foods we don't see much anymore, but in Minnesota, there is a certifiable fondness for this diner staple. The malt cup, which — as the name implies — is a chocolate malt in a cup, is the state's favorite ice cream truck treat.

The one food to try in Missouri is gooey butter cake — a timeless dessert that originated in St. Louis. But since they obviously can't order cake at an ice cream truck, Missourians are sticking with the Choco Taco.

The iconic Good Humor-Breyers' jingle "What Would You Do for a Klondike Bar?" clearly lives rent-free in the minds of Nebraskans, as Klondike Bars are their No.1 ice-cream-truck pick. 

If you're partial to having ice cream in a cone, then ordering a King Cone — like the folks from New Hampshire — is the way to go. Vanilla ice cream is swirled into a sugar cone and topped with a chocolate coating and peanuts. 

New Mexico's defining snack might be cookies, but when it comes to ice cream trucks, its residents are all about the Firecracker.

North Carolinians might be willing to do a lot for a Klondike Bar — it ranked first as the state's most popular ice cream truck dessert. 

When it comes to ice cream, Ohioans want their Klondike Bars. But the state's true treasure is buckeyes (chocolate-covered balls of peanut butter). Make them from home and you'll be eating like a real Midwesterner.

Like North Dakota, the people of Oregon keep it classic when hearing the magical sounds of the ice cream truck approaching. Their No.1 pick is ice cream sandwiches. 

The people of Rhode Island agree: Summer isn't complete without a cup of Italian ice. Lemon ice is their first choice when the ice cream truck rolls around. 

South Dakotans flock to Bomb Pops — not to be confused with their Firecracker cousins — when they see an ice cream truck.

Joining their friends from the South, Texans also prefer Firecrackers. 

Although Vermont is the land of Ben & Jerry's, the iconic ice cream company isn't typically on the menu at most ice cream trucks. Instead, the folks in Vermont opt for a Klondike Bar. 

The Fudgescicle, a chocolate fudge popsicle, is the most popular ice-cream-truck order in Washington. But if you want to make fudge yourself instead of opting for the frozen dessert, try this easy-to-follow recipe.

There are plenty of frozen treats you can make from scratch this summer, but it never seems as fun as running up to the ice cream truck and placing your order. In Wisconsin, lemon ice is the go-to.
