**Chimera** , I think you can buy on-line, if you have a secure location for delivery. They have freezer bags, so the stuff wouldn’t totally thaw before you got home. ---

For people in rural areas, Schwans is a heaven send. You can actually get food that simply is not available any where else in the area. For that reason may wife and I like it. When my wife was going through chemo, she found many foods revolting. The Schwans popsicles were the food that sustained her and for that matter, the other stuff helped me make it through when she couldn’t eat, and I didn’t want to smell up the house with food that would make her sick. ---

Schwan’s! Schwan’s! None of my friends understand the awesomeness, because the truck didn’t go to them in the city. They came out to us on the farm. I loved going through the catalogue with Mom and we’d always get their popsicles. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/schwans-love-it-or-hate-it/602467.md?page=2)
