Good Humor dealing with ice cream shortage for their trucks

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Good Humor is having distribution problems.

As we hit the summer months, it can't supply its most popular flavors to its ice-cream trucks across the Northeast.

That means, no sale, if you're hooked on Good Humor's Toasted Almond, Cookies and Cream and "Chocolate Eclair ice-cream.

The ice cream shortage, of course, does not affect other makers of ice cream.

A Good Humor spokesperson says an unseasonably warm spring caused a spike in demand coupled with the fact that the company is in the process of closing a factory in Maryland, production is instead shifting to plants in Missouri and Tennessee.

You'll still find grocery store shelves stocked full but as that iconic truck rolls down the block, be prepared for plan B.
