LemmyKnowsBest, You unlocked a core childhood memory. It must have been sometime around the late 1980s pudding started being sold in plastic containers and I forgot they had ever been in cans.
OhmsLawn, Same. Fruit cocktail, too.
corsicanguppy, Ohhhh. Fruit cocktail.
Also, in the army it was the pouches of fruit salad or pears. If you lucked out and got that in your box, you could trade for a lot to the poor sap who got cherry pie and “lung in a bag” isn’t doing it for them.
S_204, I just popped open a can of fruit cocktail for the kids yesterday. It’s a 350ml can, not a single serve. We portion into mini mason jars.
pseudo, Oh ! I misunderstood the post. I thought it was about powdered pudding being most variety in the stores. There is still canned pudding and fruit coktail in France but also some in plastic.
quams69, Distributed by del monte tomato company, wild
5redie8, Tbf Del Monte distributes all sorts of fruit/veggie related stuff, at least nowadays (In the United States). Used to go nuts for their peach cups when I was a kid lol
psion1369, Before I read anything on the can, I was expecting tomato pudding.
tory, Is that a plastic spoon?
pseudo, Some still does.
Je n’ai rien contre une boîte de Mont-Blanc, moi.
Snapz, My family buys bulk pudding… By the handful.
Heisenburner, That doesn’t go with the song at all
GladiusB, You know what song it goes to. The bar was much lower back then.
tja, I don’t know which songs you both mean.
Wizard_Pope, Rock around the clock I think
RagingRobot, Gross. Idk why. It just seems gross lol
Dead_or_Alive, Pudding in cans was the best, it just tasted better. Juice in glass containers was also amazing. Plastic changes the taste and leaches microplastics into our bodies.
I’m really hoping we as a society get plastic out of our products.
bitwolf, I got so heated watching one of the congressional hearings where I girl asked Congress to ban single use plastics.
The politician was so condescending and finished off with “we need a solution before banning”.
America had the solution before plastic… Cans and bottles.
macaroni1556, While I 100% agree with you on the glass, and a can doesn’t change the flavour as much as plastic..
Small cans have this smell (I guess skin oils reacting with the outside metal?) that you can’t ignore when you eat right out of the can
Dark_Arc, Literally never have understood why a type of container makes something gross to some people.,.
Same thing with color of something. I mean, I at least get that in terms of color X is associated with Y… Just seems strange to me.
FlyingSquid, Jeez. I’m surrounded by kids. That’s the way we ate pudding in the 80s. And we liked it that way!

You don’t get that reference either, do you?
Sigh.
Kolanaki, I loved these… Does Del Monte even still make pudding?
LillyPip, Oh god, the nostalgia.
That rim sucked, though. There was always pudding up under there, and it was a delicate game how much you were willing to get and risk lacerating your tongue.
Also, anyone who was good at this, DM me your info.
kalkulat, Dinty Moore still comes in cans … and is better than ever (esp. compared to most of today’s canned “food”.
