The Story of Pudding Pops
How Pudding Pops Started
Pudding Pops first came to life in the 1970s in a city called Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in the United States. They became really popular in the 1980s. Imagine how much people loved them: in their first year, they made $100,000,000! After just five years, they were making $300,000,000 every year. Even though they sold a lot of Pudding Pops into the 1990s, the company eventually stopped making them. This happened because they weren't making enough money from them anymore.
The Return of Pudding Pops
Good news for fans! Pudding Pops came back to grocery stores in 2004. This time, they were sold under the brand name Popsicle. However, these new Pudding Pops were a bit different. They didn't feel the same to eat, and they had a different shape than the original ones. Because of these changes, they never became as popular as they once were. By about 2011, they started to disappear from stores again.
