“The streets are desserted. Cake and ice cream everywhere”

Streets can be “deserted.” Streets are usually not “desserted,” but there are jokes.
 
“The streets are desserted. Cake and ice cream everywhere” was posted on Twitter by Sheepman on December 11, 2011. “The streets were oddly desserted that night” was posted on The Proof of Angel Cartoons on August 6, 2016.
 
“Walking down the road last night, I passed an apple pie, an ice cream sundae, and a lemon cheesecake. I thought ‘the streets are strangely desserted tonight’” was posted on Twitter by Allen Marshall on July 18, 2019, and on Reddit—Dadjokes on July 15, 2020.

The streets are desserted. Cake and ice cream everywhere. I arrive home to find the place filled with hundreds of miniature Mick McCarthys.

The streets were oddly desserted that night.

I left work late one night.I turned around and saw a giant apple turnover just lying in the street. Just down the road, there was a huge bowl of jelly and on the street corner there was a 2 story Chocolate sundae.

Just back from taking the dog out, stepped out the house and there was a trifle in the middle of the road, turned the corner and there was a sticky toffee pudding and just down the hill an apple crumble.  I thought to myself, the streets are strangely desserted tonight.

I was out walking, when I saw a giant apple turnover, just lying in the street. Then, just down the road… there was a huge bowl of jelly and on the street corner there was a double storey Chocolate sundae.
I thought to myself, “The streets are strangely desserted tonight” Rolling on the floor laughing
