Like a traditional ice cream truck, the [frozen dessert vending machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-serve-dispensing-billboard) share a tune of their own—an original jingle created by [Boyz II Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vhs-tape). The frozen dessert line from the brand launched earlier this spring and fans have already spend much time enjoying decadent flavors like Chocolate + Ooey, Gooey, Midnight Fudge and Mint + Dark, Melty Cacao Chips. Both of these [plant-based sweet treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/over-the-moo1) are free from added sugars, gums and fillers. The mirrored frozen dessert machines share a self-service, socially distant experience that's supported by sidewalk chalk activities, sand sculptures and other fun summer treats. As the mirrored vending machines virtally blend into their surroundings, they include text that states they're not mirages.
