Maude Hanson

Background

Maude Hanson is the former owner of the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory in Little Havana. She openly despises children despite running an ice cream business.

The Cherry Popper factory is in Little Havana, and its vans cruise the city playing jingles. Maude's attitude makes clear that the children's treats were never the real business.

Events of GTA Vice City

• When Tommy Vercetti buys the factory, Maude explains that the business is a front for selling "non-dairy products". This sets up the asset mission Distribution, in which Tommy sells drugs from a Mr. Whoopee van.

Personality

Maude is bitter and blunt, with an almost comic hatred of children.

She openly despises children and makes no effort to hide it, despite having run an ice cream business, which makes her single cutscene one of the game's darker jokes.

Relationships

• Tommy Vercetti: the buyer of her factory.
• Tommy Vercetti: the buyer who takes over her vans and her real business.

Trivia

• She appears in only one cutscene.
• The asset mission she sets up, Distribution, requires 50 sales from a Mr. Whoopee van.
• Completing it unlocks up to $3,000 per day for Tommy.
