There was once a New York City ice cream company named Bungalow Bar, with trucks decorated with wood to made to them look a bungalow (picture below), which came to some of the boroughs of NYC during the warmer seasons. Good Humor ice cream was much more popular with children.

I have read that there was a false rumor implicating Bungalow Bar products with the spread of polio, but I do not remember hearing this in Brooklyn.

Here are several street chants that kids would sing when they saw the Bungalow Bar truck coming:

Bungalow Bar
tastes like tar
The more you eat
the sicker you are


Bungalow Bar
Tastes like tar
Put it in a jar
And throw it far

Bungalow Bar
Tastes like tar
Take a bite
And spit it far
