Many moons ago The Metal Misfit and I got a little obsessed with finding proof that “Monster Pops” actually existed. A long drought of information finally ended when limeglimmers surprised me with scans of the wrappers from this rare confection with a promise of scans of the box. Well that promised has been fulfilled. limeglimmers sent me scans of the actual Monster Pops’ box from all sides. Thanks to limeglimmers for these scans. It allowed me to close the door on one of my web obsessions and allow readers of this site to connect with a forgotten piece of their past.

See good things do happen. Tell this “limeglimmers” if he is ever in central Indiana I owe him a drink… No I owe him a couple drinks and a dinner!
I remember a very different type found in Canada. They were Vampire pops. Creamsicles with red goo inside the cream. The box was all about the count, there were no other monsters.
