What ever happened to...

What ever happened to Pudding Pops?



Remember those frosty delicious Jell-O Popsicle treats that Bill Cosby used to push? Oh my gosh. I couldn't wait to get home from school every day to get my afternoon treat. There was a time when you could walk into any home on the block and you were guaranteed to find one frozen bar of chocolate, vanilla or chocolate vanilla swirled joy. But now that I look back, I can't even remember the last time I had a Pudding Pop. What the hell happened to them?



Well, apparently they were removed from your grocer's shelves sometime in the late '80s or early '90s. Since then there has been an online petition to bring the Pudding Pop back. I actually remember signing this about three or four years ago. When asked by a consumer, "What happened to Jello-O Pudding Pops", here was their response:

Thanks for visiting our Web Site regarding the availability of JELL O Pudding Pops. Whenever a decision is made to discontinue any product, it is reluctantly done after extensive research. We wish we had more enthusiastic consumer like you, but there were not enough consumers buying our product to support its continued production. Of course it consumers become interested, we will consider putting it back on the market. We will forward your comments to our marketing staff for their benefit.
We appreciate your interest, and please visit our site again soon!


Well, Pudding Pops are back, only not the originals.


Apparently Popsicle put out the new Jell-O Pudding Pops. While they are the same flavors and same appearance, reviews show these are not the Pudding Pops we fell in love with as children. If you are like me and the thousands of others out there who would like to taste the icy, chocolatey goodness once again, please contact: BringBackPuddingPops@hammradio.com (Subject = Pudding Pops).
