Of course 17-24 NEVER looked like the picture

That being said, 9, 12, and 13 were the bomb.

Edit:

By popular demand secret option 34.

Edit 2:

Here’s your Choco Taco 35.

Schwann's is (was?) a frozen food delivery service. They'd have a big ass freezer truck that they'd drive through the neighborhood making deliveries, and you would get a big catalogue of options to choose from. It was essentially a curated frozen foods section of the supermarket on wheels, and they had some really good stuff.

No idea if they are still around, I certainly don't see the trucks anymore.

Oh! Its typically called "strawberry shortcake" or something along those lines. Its a slightly tart and sweet strawberry ice cream center, with a creamy outer layer, covered in a yummy similarly flavored breading crumbles.

adarza@piefed.ca · 3 pts · 75d

the company exists just as a frozen foods company, but is now owned by a south korean conglomerate. when schwans was sold to cj in 2019, the home delivery business was spun-off and still owned by the family. it later went out of business, not long after an absolutely horrible rebrand.

I once got hired under the table to help unload a Schwann's freezer trailer one night and was compensated with a cooler full of product of my own choosing at cost. The markup on the items was insane, my household ate for weeks off that.

Standard Bomb Pops didn't have gum inside, though some varieties probably did. The Bomb Pops is constantly making little variations on their popsicles, probably too many IMO.
