Good things ‘cone’ in small packages
The world’s smallest ice cream van has been unveiled as part of intu Braehead’s pledge to make customers smile.
This follows new research revealing that eating ice cream makes people happier.
The Nice Cream Van measures just 47 inches long and 39 inches high and has a maximum speed of 12mph.
It will go on a nationwide tour of 14 intu shopping centres to surprise and delight shoppers around the country and stops off at intu Braehead today.
The tour of the tiny van follows research revealing that eating ice cream is one of the top 20 things that make Scots happiest in the summer.
Others on the list include walking barefoot in the grass, taking a trip to the beach, having a BBQ, going on holiday and shopping for your summer wardrobe.
Christine Macdonald, marketing manager at intu Braehead, said:“We’re delighted to have created what we believe is the world’s smallest ice cream van.
“But the real win will be seeing the smiles it puts on people’s faces at intu shopping centres around the country for those lucky enough to get free ice cream.
“We work really hard to create experiences that will surprise and delight our customers and make each individual shopping trip a happier, more memorable one.
“At intu we have something for everyone, and whether you’re someone who loves to shop or a last-minute panic shopper, we aim to ensure you leave happier than when you arrived.”
