Anyone here old enough to remember when pudding came in little cans?

Question

Now they have it the cute plastic cups with foil wrappers, but back when I was in grade school, you got puddin' in a can with one of them lids like they got on SPAM.

Answer 1

Wow, yes, and if you forgot a spoon, you had to use the metal lid. My mom put those in my baseball game lunch box all the time. Do you remember Shake-a Pudding? You put it in a cup, add milk,snap on the lid and shake it for a minute or so.

Answer 2

Yeah, I remember the cans. Could be a clouded memory but I remember them tasting better then the plastic cup puddings.

Answer 3

I remember this, and I was in grade school as well. It was before they had the plastic cups. I think that ended in the early 90s

Answer 4

I'm 27 and I never heard of canned pudding. Who was the spokes person before Bill Cosby?

Answer 5

I am.

But did you know that some generic brand still come in those cans with lids like spam.
Tried them once, taste like crap. lol

Answer 6

Yeah, I remember, they kind of look like canned ham containers.

I thought it tasted kind of slimy. So it grosses me out to eat canned pudding.

They still serve pudding from a can in school cafeterias. It's still slimy! (I'm a school teacher so I'm constantly subjected to viewing it's grossness.)

Answer 7

Pudding still do come in cans sometimes. At my friends' highschool, they served pudding in small pop-open metal cans a couple of months back.

Answer 8

I remember those! My Gramma always kept them in her cupboard for us... I remember them tasting way better than the stuff we get today. I broke the tab off every time trying to get into them and ended up having to get the can opener out.

Answer 9

I remember! The original Snack Packs!

Those were great, but I can see why they now put them in plastic - those lids were dangerous! (LOL)

Answer 10

Nope
