Make it yours

  • Ten beats at 3 seconds each fill the full 30 seconds; for 15 seconds keep only the jingle, the sprint, the order and the final bite and line.
  • Spoken lines work best when each is under 8 words; shorten 'I will run for ice cream, no shame' if lips and audio drift apart.
  • Replace 'ice cream truck' with 'taco truck' or 'food cart' to reuse the whole timeline as a template for another chase-and-eat story.
