Summer has officially arrived, and what could be better than hearing the jingle of the Mr. Softee ice cream truck pull up on a sunny day?
How about on-demand treats from the Uber ice cream man, which is making house calls today in 144 cities, in 38 countries, on six continents.
Users can request a cool dessert by choosing the "ice cream" option in the Uber mobile app. Just like the regular car service, an available vehicle will head to your determined location, whether you're treating the office to a sweet snack or are just craving a cone at home.
No cash is needed; your order, however large, will be billed directly to your Uber account.
But act fast, because according to the company, "demand will be very high and availability limited."
Check out the Uber website for more details and to see if your city is on today's menu; times, prices, and product availability vary by location. Keep up with the inside scoop on Twitter and Instagram with the #UberIceCream hashtag.
Uber launched its on-demand ice cream trucks in July 2012 in honor of National Ice Cream Month. Initially available only in Boston, Chicago, New York San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto, and Washington, D.C., the ice cream special last year expanded to 33 cities in the U.S. and abroad.
This year, folks in select areas of Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, and Australia can also satisfy their sweet tooth.
The move comes after Uber this week expanded its UberFamily service to D.C. and Philadelphia. First tested in New York City, the option allows parents and caregivers to request an Uber ride with a child's car seat for a $10 surcharge.
