Have you seen the prices for coffee and cocoa beans? Ever heard about a climate shitshow we're participating in? You won't be able to afford a cup of cocoa. And those trucks are not armoured enough to defend themselves from the cocoa robbers.
The problem with cocoa isn't really global warming. It has been consistently dying because of a plague, that is well adapted to the same weather as cocoa.

Perhaps the solution would be a genetically engineered yeast that secretes theobromine and can be grown in vats anywhere. In a decade or two, that may be the only economically viable source of chocolate, and a few decades later, there may be nobody left who remembers the difference.

My regular Saturday morning walk along the Mersey had a hot chocolate van by a lake just before the final stretch. Often the ice cream van was also still there even when it was cold.

What's wrong with ice cream in Winter anyway? It doesn't melt as fast either.

It was raining yesterday and my local icecream van was out there cranking around like a champ, they don't give a shit if it's raining or sunny, you'll get your icecream.

Insulation is insulation, it can keep something hot as much as it can keep something cold. And a refrigeration system reversed becomes a heat pump. Would cost next to nothing to make something like this happen from a mechanical standpoint.

The elotes and chicharrones man who bicycles by my work several times a day has a horn like this. It’s kinda fun.

My first thought was "hey, I'm down for that!" and churros and a ton of other things. But ultimately you're right. I'm still down for ice cream while it's snowing.

The ice cream truck here in IB, CA, US, runs every day of the year. They serve nachos on Saturday and Sunday.
Might be because we never have temperatures lower than 4° C overnight in February and early March, and we never see temperatures above 30° C at the peak of summer.

When I actually lived in cold climates, I almost always purchased my ice cream to consume during the winter months. During the summer months I was more likely to purchase a peach smoothie or some other summer fruit that I can't get outside of summer and early autumn.

While that's true regarding insulation, the degradation of materials might be different at different temperatures. It might not be an issue as I have no idea what the materials in an ice cream truck are, but if you want to maintain a hot beverage-temperature, several types of paint, treatments, walls and floors might fail over time.

The truck is also full of flammable liquid!

Part of the reason people eat cold stuff during summer is to cool off

When I was a boy, there was a little hole in the wall ice cream spot... It was LITERALLY a window/counter in a wall. In the winter months, that window sold pizza slices.
This is the way.
