 Uber is a great ride-sharing resource for your needs as well as Milwaukee's -- AND it can also fulfill your need for ice cream.

Uber Ice Cream is an event that has been held in the past in Uber markets, and Milwaukee is now finally one of them, so you can participate, too. Milwaukee is one of 144 cities around the world participating. 

In each city Uber is partnering with local ice cream trucks to offer bundles of five or six treats for you to share with friends, co-workers or sweeties.

In Milwaukee, you can get five treats for $25. 

Relive your childhood memories at the touch of button!

On Friday, users will have the chance to request ice cream on-demand for a delicious treat and a whimsical experience.

The inside scoop:

  • Download the Uber app for iPhone or Android.
  • Request the "Ice Cream" option via your app.
  • If a truck is available, you and your friends will be enjoying sweet treats and Uber swag within minutes.
  • Ice cream trucks will be on the road from 11 AM to 5 PM on Friday, July 18.
  • Demand for ice cream trucks will be very high and availability very limited. It may take multiple tries to find an available truck. Please be patient! They will be working all day to deliver as much ice cream as possible.
  • No cash required! Your ice creams will be charged directly to your Uber account.

Then, join the global #UberIceCream celebration by sharing your experience on Twitter and Instagram.

Enjoy!

Carolynn Buser is one of Milwaukee's loudest and most adamant cheerleaders (don't dare try to disagree). She's the primary voice behind much of OnMilwaukee's social media and content direction, and apologizes in advance if she can be too sarcastic at times. 

What else? She's a wine lover, closet trashy novel reader, beauty supplies addict and devourer of cheese (shocker for a Wisconsin born and bred girl, right?). She's also a bit of a foodie, which is a word most of you hate, we know. She works as hard as she plays - and that includes in the gym! So, you've probably seen her at one of the area's newest restaurant openings (and yes, she will share her opinions good or bad) or enjoying a cold one at a local pub.

All in all, Carolynn's a believer in positive thinking and will do her best to smack down your negative ones while writing about her city, her loves, quests and more.
