Jell-O Pudding Pops Live!

I was reading over a food-review of General Mills’s new cereal variety, Total Protein, when I came across something far more interesting later in the review: Jell-O Pudding Pops have returned! But first, a note on Total Protein — which I was tempted to try, actually — it's apparently “horrid” and the reviewer “would have thought they were stale had [she] not opened the bag seconds before”. So much for that idea.

But, back to the Pudding Pops. They last existed about ten years ago and haven’t been seen since — until now :). Considering that the confectionery even spawned online petitions, I’m surprised that it took this long. As it turns out, it’s not even Jell-O Co this time around; they licensed the Pudding Pop brand to Good Humor-Breyers who’s making the pops these days:

This is good news for Pudding Pop fans and for anyone who is looking for portable ice cream sans chocolate coating or cone. These actually taste richer and better than nonpremium chocolate-coated ice cream. In fact, this is one of the few products that I intended only to taste and ended up actually eating. […]

I last had pudding pops in the 80s. I was around ten at the time and I remember eating them with my brother on our patio outside our house back when we lived in Chadds Ford PA. Those were some fond memories — Pudding Pops made for a pleasant denouement to a hot July afternoon. And at $3.19 per 12-pack (per the review), I look forward to trying these again.
