Distribution is an asset mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory.

Mission

Distribution is initiated by entering the parked Mr. Whoopee ice cream van at the entrance of the factory. The player may end the mission by simply exiting the van. The goal of the mission is to sell at least 50 drugs disguised as ice cream to pedestrians on the streets. This is achieved by driving and stopping the van at a crowded area while activating the ice cream jingle (by tapping the horn button or key). The jingle will attract certain surrounding pedestrians (marked by overhead arrows and yellow blips on the radar) to the van to perform transactions with the player. Each successful transaction awards the player $12. All "ice cream" sold will be listed under "'Ice Cream' Sold" and "Number of drug deals made" in the player's statistics.

Selling merchandise in Distribution carries several risks. Every four consecutive transactions will cumulatively add a wanted star to the player's wanted level, attracting police attention and requiring the player to occasionally lay low from crowded areas, pick up police bribes or respray their vehicle at a spray shop. In addition, P.I.G guards and gang members not belonging to Vercetti's gang will open fire at the player unprovoked when the player simply plays the ice cream jingle or deals in their territory.

Script

(Instructions for the mission.)

Reward

There is no immediate monetary reward for completing the mission, except for the money earned while selling, but successful completion will unlock the factory as an asset which will generate $3,000 in daily revenue.

Trivia

The player must have the ice cream van in a complete stop to attract customers; if the player's van moves fast enough just as a customer is running towards it, the customer cancels their interest towards the van.
If there are no more customers to serve or if the player stops in an area with no pedestrians, the player is advised by the game's tooltip to look elsewhere.
Like other side missions in the game, criminals may actually buy from the van rather than attempt to steal it.

-'''Distribution''' is a mission in [[GTA: Vice City]], where you sell drugs, disguised as ‘Ice Cream’ on the streets. To start this mission, head over to the [[Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory]] in [[Little Havana]] and enter the [[Mr Whoopee]] ice cream van. To call pedestrians over to the van, press the horn to activate the ice cream jingle and stop the van nearby. After four ‘ice creams’ are sold in a row, the police become suspicious and will start chasing you. The easiest way to lose the cops (if you have 2 or more stars) is to drive into one of the nearby [[Pay 'n' Spray]] repair shops to change the van’s paint, engine and plates. Be careful though, local gangs (such as the Cubans) will attack you as you’re taking away their business.
