However, Jimmy Teng or ‘Uncle Jimmy’ is different. The ice cream man from Singapore regularly gives away free ice cream on his birthday. He started the tradition on his 70th birthday when he offered to give away 700 free ice creams. 

This year Uncle Jimmy announced that he was going to give away 1,000 free ice creams. Surprisingly, some customers insisted that they would pay for the ice cream. When asked why he did it, Mr Teng explained that nowadays everyone in Singapore was stressed and he wanted to make them feel happy. He also admitted that sharing ice cream made him feel good too. ‘I’m so happy,’ he said. ‘I wouldn’t be this happy if I won the lottery!’ 

Uncle Jimmy, who has been an ice cream man for over 15 years, has lots of customers. When asked what his favourite flavour was, he answered ‘Sweetcorn’ and he explained that ice cream in Singapore was sometimes served with bread rather than a cone. ]]> 2022-04-14 05:44:45 UTC https://padlet.com/smm34/6d8hgwuf17n9z758/wish/2143463004
