Pudding Pop

Pudding Pops were frosty ice pop treats originally made and marketed by Jell-O. They were first launched with Bill Cosby acting as the spokesperson. He marketed them as "Puddin' Pops!"[1]

Pudding Pops originated in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the 1970s, and became more popular in the 1980s. In its first year, it earned $100 million, and after five years, it was earning $300 million yearly.[1] Despite strong sales into the 1990s, Pudding Pops were eventually discontinued due to not being profitable.[2] They were reintroduced to grocery stores in April 2004, under the brand name Popsicle.[2][3] However, due to differences in texture to the original and different shape, their popularity never reached its predecessor's, which resulted in them beginning to be pulled from stores around 2011.[4] Pudding Pops come in the variety pack of chocolate, vanilla and chocolate vanilla swirl.
