"Good Humor claims they discontinued The Toasted Almond because 'it was not popular around the country.'" What country would that be? Surely not this one. Isn't it protected by the Constitution or something?
This is horrible, terrible news. The toasted almond was ALWAYS my ice cream truck go-to growing up! Nothing else tastes like it. I mean, it doesn't taste remotely like almonds, but it is SO good! I remember seeing a box in the store for the first time a couple of years ago, and stupidly didn't buy it, because calories or something. I now deeply regret that decision. Maybe they'll do a special anniversary revival in a few years or something? We can only hope...
I still think how lucky we were that we had not one but TWO dueling ice cream trucks in elementary school, Hood and Good Humor. Hood always had the candy. But Good Humor had that hidden-chocolate-on-a-stick bar that was totally worth the $.05 upgrade.
When I ran the Little League concession, Toasted Almond always outsold Strawberry Shortcake. But the kids really wanted those gross SpongeBob pops with the gumball eyes.
Seriously it kills me when cosmetic companies change colors and formulas that didn't need changing. Like how many liquid eyeliners do I have to go through!!
I'm still salty about no longer having Count Chocula. š
As if parents today wouldn't want a reference to CHOCOLATE in their kids' breakfast cereal. Sheesh.
What happened to the real Creamsicle?
It's still listed on the Good Humor site -- let's look for one!
Root beer popsicles
Ooh, was that a thing? I was never a big root beer person but my kids are.
Yep, there used to be root beer and banana flavored popsicles, but they slipped out of favor, probably in the 80's
Love Bus Brew
What is that?
It was like a Yoo-hoo with ginseng. So yummy!

Well, in fairness, most things that are important donāt seem to be protected by the constitution anymore.
Donāt remind me
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. An iconic classic gone. šŖ

Facts -- If it had tasted like almonds I wouldn't have liked it as a kid.
Last time I had one was probably the pandemic summer when our ice cream truck was one "safe" place to grab a treat without going indoors. Sniff.
My heart is broken.

I miss the fudge sundae cake at Bobs Big Boy.
I never had one, but could go for one right now.
A slice of vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two layers of dense chocolate cake, topped with hot fudge, whipped cream, and a cherry.

I have some news...

can't say if that is a real improvement
Jello Pudding Pops. That hard film over the frozen pudding, I'll never forget it.
Not food but Revlonās velvet rose nail polish, which was perfect!
