The story of Skater Squid Bar

Inky the Skater Squid was the coolest face on the ice cream truck menu: backwards cap, grape ice cream head, eight drippy fudge tentacles and a candy skateboard frozen to the stick. Kids ate the tentacles first, one by one, counting out loud. The gumball eyes always fell off on the second bite, usually right into the grass.

Fun fact

The picture on the truck showed a smiling squid, but the real bar always looked mildly surprised.
