I'm guessing the nutrition center may have a freezer with a sliding glass cover, with an assortment of ice cream sandwiches.

I'm guessing the nutrition center will consist of an ample supply of ice cream and Red Baron pizzas

Does this mean we will see the Schwan's guy on the sideline trying to get some orders and asking "Is this a bad time should I come back later? How about some steaks? No? What about ice cream?"

Those ice cream cones that Schwan's sells are fantastic. I'd eat those over dilly bars 10 times out of 10.

My parents used to joke that my real father was the Schwan's man.

Does that mean I'm entitled to some of this money?
