HOMEThe Sacred Fellowship of the Monster Pop
14Apr2008 Filed under: Food Author: The Retroist
All who are pure of heart are called upon to seek the most elusive of frozen treats, the Monster Pop. We know little about these treats, but the one things we can all agree upon — they did exist. So take up your mouse and keyboard and join in the search. Post anything you find out below.
On this day in the year 2008 - I pledge a shiny box of nerd magnets to the first person who finds physical proof of these mysterious mid-1980 confections.
My hearts is pure and my quest is noble.

Well, there are people who find the smell of a skunk interesting, alas two of the flavours taste okish, the others are more or less inedible.

Interesting. What are the flavors exactly?

Cola - tastes a little bit like Royal Crown
Raspberry - artificial taste but still fruity
the other two are Lemon and Strawberry - and the words “artificial taste” don’t do justice - somebody has to invent a latin based neologism to describe that chemical, tangy, buzzing taste - or it was one of the beers beforehand which wrecked my taste buds (no pun intended).

I have an old box somewhere in my stuff. It’ll take me liek a year to dig it out though. It was a black box with the pictures of The Wherewolf, Dracula, and Mummy maybe there was one other. They were Orange Cherry and Grape…I don’t remember a white one. The other ones were Vampire Pops. Black cherry with cherry oooze inside. mmm I wish they still made these.
