Pudding Pops were frosty ice pop treats originally made and marketed by Jell-O, were first launched with Bill Cosby acting as spokesperson.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

Pudding Pops originated in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the 1970s in the United States of America. [citation needed] In its first year, it earned $100,000,000, and after five years, it was earning $300,000,000 a year. Despite strong sales into the 1990s, Pudding Pops were eventually discontinued, due to not being profitable. After being absent for a time[when?], they were reintroduced to grocery stores [citation needed] under the Popsicle brand name.

However, due to differences in texture to the original and different shape, popularity never reached its predecessors[quantify] which resulted in them beginning to be pulled from stores around 2011.[1] Pudding Pops come[needs update] in a variety pack of chocolate, vanilla and chocolate vanilla swirl, which have ninety calories per serving, three grams of fat, and 15 grams of carbohydrates.
