Uber bringing on-demand ice cream trucks to select cities on Friday only

Uber’s app normally lets users hire cars from their phone, but on Friday you’ll be able to hire something much more fun — an ice cream truck. As a way of celebrating National Ice Cream Month, an ice cream cone icon is being added to the app, which lets you request an ice cream truck to a specific location. You’ll be given a timeframe for when the truck should arrive, and your credit card will be billed $12 for a bundle of five ice creams. What kind of frozen treats will be available depends on your location — the trucks will be in Boston, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto, and Washington DC — but Uber promises that, no matter where you are, “it’s all gooooooood.”
