Del Monte Puddings featuring Alvin and the Chipmunks characters : Talk about anything discontinued!

Del Monte Puddings featuring Alvin and the Chipmunks characters

In 1991, Del Monte Foods announced that they would be releasing puddings with Alvin and the Chipmunks characters. I remember their band, their show, their movies, and their 2015 revival series on Nickelodeon.

The puddings came in Chocolate flavor, but there were also Bubblegum and Chocolate Peanut Butter flavors. They were introduced in 1991 (9 years before Y2K happened) and were discontinued in 1992, a year later.

There were also fruit puddings featuring Alvin and the Chipmunks characters too. They were also made during that time.

These puddings will sadly be missed.

All of the puddings would also come with an Alvin and the Chipmunks themed yo-yo. I miss those puddings since 1992. R.I.P. Del Monte Alvin Puddings, forever in our hearts, memories, and dreams. : (

Bubblegum pudding? Y'all gushing over some wack artificially flavored goop. There's a reason it got discontinued – it was gross! Let's be real, anything that needed a free toy to sell was probably garbage food to begin with. #truthbomb

It's so wild how many things from our past have just disappeared without a trace... Those Alvin pudding packs are like a lost treasure of the 90s. I remember them being the highlight of my school lunchbox. And it wasn't just the food, it was the whole experience, you know? Peeling back the lid, finding the yo-yo, choosing which character you wanted to snack on that day. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Does anyone else remember the commercials they used to run for the puddings? I remember recording them on VHS cause I was so obsessed with anything Alvin and the Chipmunks. Wish I would've kept those tapes now. The Bubblegum flavor was honestly weird, but I'd still buy a pack if they brought it back for the nostalgia alone.

Oh wow, that takes me back! Totally forgot about the yo-yos that came with the puddings. My brother had a collection of them, and we used to trade. Hate that companies always discontinue the cool stuff from our childhood.

Does anyone here actually have the collectibles from these? I heard that some of the cups had character tops. Would love to add to my nostalgia shelf.

As a side note, while it's sad these are gone, it's probably for the better health-wise. The sugar content was wild, but I guess that was part of the appeal, huh?

Typical big food company move, push out a product with popular characters, get the kids hooked, and then yank it a year later. Del Monte knew exactly what they were doing. But gotta admit, those puddings were decent.

Man, nothing beats the 90s vibe. These puddings, the cartoons, the simple joys of coming home from school and watching Alvin and the bros on TV. They just don't make 'em like that anymore. Whoever has a time machine, kindly take me back. 😢

Oh, I remember these vividly. They appeared during the peak of 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' mania. Not only were the characters plastered on the packaging, but it was a strategic way to engage kids with something healthy—well, healthier than most snacks at the time. Del Monte's move to include bubblegum flavor was quite interesting considering their usual product line is more fruit-based.

Anyone else think companies need to bring back more of these 90s snacks?? There’s a market here, people! I’d kill for that Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor rn.

Wow, this brings back memories. I totally forgot about those puddings. I remember trading the Bubblegum flavor for Chocolate Peanut Butter in the school lunchroom... good times.
