When I was in sixth grade, my best friend Jess's family ordered food from Schwan's Fine Frozen Foods. My own family being strict buyers of grocery store fare, I remember being supremely jealous when the boxy yellow truck would roar up to her curb, the delivery guy opening the doors to reveal a whoosh of chilly air into the sticky summer heat. Her mom would order ice cream, popsicles, and the creme de la creme: a large ring of breaded mozzarella cheese that could be smothered in the accompanying marinara sauce - the mere thought of it makes my mouth water.So I was thrilled to hear that Al Schwan, chairman of the company's board, was elected into the frozen food hall of fame (what, you've never heard of it?) after he helped the chain become the fifth-largest frozen food producer in the world. And since I was younger, they've expanded to include a website that helps you order online. (That's all well and good, but half the fun was pouring over Jess' glossy Schwan's catalog, drooling over juicy honeydews, piping hot pizza and creamy Rocky Road).
In celebration of the big clunky yellow truck, check out some of the other wacky food delivery vehicles we managed to scrounge up.
