They probably couldn't maintain their shelf space. Jello is Kraft. They dominate other aisles but not the freezer section. I'll bet people stopped buying during the Cosby scandal and they got pushed out of the case in favor of stronger brands, companies and better sellers.

Gonna have to revise that further down. I’m 42 and I remember those commercials (and the thin ice! Good memory, PP!) very well.

Those strawberry ones were something else.

18:13 again. For nostalgia, read this essay.

I mean, our former president has been accused of worse than Bill Cosby and he’s running for reelection! Why should Jell-O pudding pop suffer?

I'm curious about this too. I vaguely remember reading online (could have been here) years ago that it is very hard to get that ice layer with pops made at home.

For the person who has made them, do you have a specific recipe you use (and does it create that coat of ice we all seem to feel nostalgic for)?

Ugh, I just picture Cosby when reminded of Jello Pudding Pops.

Not really. Subway had a child sex abuse predator as their spokesperson and that brand lives on.

The article explains it pretty clearly. Cosby was the whole brand.

Will they ever make a comeback? Why do you think they left the market?
