OMGosh...does no one else remember this awesome puddin???? ummmmmmmm...every bit as yummy as choc space food sticks:-)

OMG.....NOW PEOPLE WILL NOT THINK I AM NUTS......NO BODY REMEMBERS SHAKE-A-PUDDIN BUT ME, I WISH WE COULD STILL GET IT

Oh YES! I remember this and the Space Food Sticks, although peanut butter was my favorite. My grandma used to keep these in her cabinet just for me. She also had TANG, which I mixed up & then froze in her mini-jello molds for a slushie. Yum.

I still sing the song and people think i'm making it up! around the same time, there was another yummy desert called Great Shake. The powder came in a triangular packet and you poured it into a big brown plastic cup that had a snap-on lid. Add milk and shake. It also had a catchy tune. we used to get these treats very infrequently but i remember all seven of us kids, singing, shaking, in our pjs, waiting for the sunday night disney movie (at 7:30?). Good Times!

You're right Kathie. Shake a puddin' Shake a puddin', shake shake shake a puddin'. Ah, the good old days.

Butterscotch was my favorite!

Well thank God...I was beginning to think that I imagined this stuff! No one else I know can remember this treat, but I can sure remember the tune like it was last Tuesday....

Butterscotch was my favorite, too.

Shake a puddin brings back fond memories of bill cosby. Yeah, I still remember him doing the commercials & my sister with bright smiles of joy as the chocolate puddin surrounding her lips.

LOL Shake A Puddin man that jostled brain cells I thought I lost. Butterscotch was awesome, it seems like food then was better because it was more fun. Pre microwave... you had to work for your desert lol.. thanks for the blast from the past..

Too much...there actually are others who remember this great snack! If only life were as simple as the shake-a-puddin days...Friday nights, watching the Flintstones, while shaking the shake-a-puddin container...

I used to love shake a puddin'!! I remember great shakes too! I loved strawberry. My mom still has the brown plastic cup. And yes, Disney movies on Sunday nights! (eating TV dinners on TV tables) LOL

I too still sing the shake a puddin song sometimes while I am shaking other containers in the kitchen. NOW I KNOW I am not nuts! There really WAS shake a puddin! Thanks! I used to LOVE that stuff...esp sat nights watching Hockey night in Canada (with all 6 teams!) I wish they would bring it back for us! (any one remember sen-sens?)

hahahaha! I was telling my daughter about Shake a puddin at dinner tonight and she looked at me as if I was nuts!!! I thought I was the only one who remembered it, I had it everyday when I came home for lunch, I would eat it and watch the flintstones on channel 8 at 1230!! I remember Space sticks too!! Ummmm Peanut butter!!! and Sen-Sens...tasted like soap but wow!!! I was addicted to those!!!! I used to empty the whole little package into my mouth at once...the only thing that comes close to that taste it Thrills gum, which you can still find from time to time if you look hard enough.

The song was "shake shake shake a pudding ooh ooh"; I can't believe I actually googled "shake a pudding"....I'm 50! Do you remember jello 1-2-3?

There is a new version of Shake a puddin on the market called Jello singles. You have to provide the cup.

I remember the lyrics like this: "Shake, shake, shake a puddin' Puddin' puddin' shake a puddin' Shake, shake, shake a puddin' Puddin' puddin shake a puddin' There's a new kind of puddin' and you can make it It's called Shake a puddin' and all you do is shake it" Also, what happened to the blonde girl on the commercial? I thought she was the best ever!

Someone on Anna Maria Island has a boat named Shake-A-Puddin

Milk? We used to use drinking fountain water and guzzle the Shake-a-puddin before it had gelled!

Shake a puddin' was the sh*t. It was especially great when the cap flew off and the puddin' went everywhere. We were only allowed to shake our puddin' out of doors on the patio because of the inevitable mess.

I remember it from Grammar school back in the early 70's...used to eat it watching the Brady Bunch. It was gritty but yummy.

I grew up in New Zealand in the 80's and my Mum used to get this stuff for us boys all the time. Only now she can't remember it. My favourite was the butterscotch too and I have been looking for proof that it existed ever since. Thanks guys. We used to have these other things called Pizzos too which were cartwheel shaped pizza flavoured corn or wheat chips like burger rings. Anyone know what I am talking about?

Yes, I do remember Shake A Pudding!!! Loved that stuff!

Oh... I remember. That was the treat in our lunch boxes. Butterscotch was my favorite. I was just talking to my son about some of the things we used to pack in our lunch boxes. He came up with a great idea: "Why don't you bring it back?"

Oh yea, i remember shake a puddin. my sister who is 2yrs older dosen't. Glad to see I'm not alone it was my favorite. Do you remember "space food sticks"? what was the name of those fizzy tablets?

Hi Sherri. "Fizzies" were the wafers that made a "carbonated" drink when dropped into a glass of water. My favorite Shake-a-Puddin flavor was strawberry. Couldn't get enough of that. Remember Bonomo Turkish Taffy? Or Bubs Daddy Bubblegum?

While I remember Shake A Puddin' very well and happily ate many a shaken puddin' back in the day, I could swear that this was a 60's food, not 70's.

I loved shake-a-puddin!!!!!!! I remember it from the late 60's. Ours came with a record you would play and shake your puddin. It also came with a plastic container!! LOL!! Sooo much fun!!! I want to buy it again!!!

I loved this when I was a kid in the 70's! We used to shake it up, take a bath, and eat it before bed. Those were the days! I wish we could get this product now.

We still have the shake a puddin tumbler!!! Still use it to.

Thanks so much for bring back the memories of Shake a puddin....buttersotch was awesome. I want my Shake a Puddin back!

Oh boy does this bring back thoughts of days in my carefree youth!! Shake a Puddin and Jiffy Pop on Friday Nights with Mom and Dad...now sadly gone and I'm all grown up and stressed to the max. Chocolate flavor rocked!!

I remember Shake a pudding and I can still hear the song. The tumbler was tan and brown and chocolate was my favorite. It was more like a shake than pudding. And someone mentioned Fizzies. My daughter was taking Alka Seltzer tonite and I told her about a drink we used to have as kids that was a wafer -- couldn't remember the name, but I told her was something like Fizzies. I was right! Memories...

I would love to see the commercial again. These are a great memory from childhood. I also have a box of Jello 1-2-3 that I found in my mom's pantry years ago. I just kept the box for memory sake, we loved that stuff as kids.

YES -- I thought I was the only one that loved Shake A Puddin. i lived for the stuff --- I only wish I could taste it one more time, tho I am very afraid that as an adult I might not like it quite as much LOL

Wow, what a flashback. I was trying to explain 'shake-a-pudding" to my 20 year old. Down in Puerto Rico we used to have them too. Can you imagine saying it with a Spanish accent?? hehehe. Therese...we also used to have them on Friday nights.

I think I was about 4 or 5 (late 60's in Fresno CA) when we used to eat that stuff. I don't remember what it taste like; vaguely remember the song but definitely remember it existed. We lived in a yellow house back then and we used to sing "we all live in a yellow submarine". Does anyone remember the TV show where you placed tracing paper on the screen and traced something to help the little boy (or whatever it was) through his adventures? The paper came in kit that you used as you watched the show. We never had the kit so we just used our own paper.

"there's a new kind of pudding that's fun to make it's called shake-a-puddin and all you do is shake.Shake, shake, shake-a-puddin..." I remember this from 1966/67. Same era as Great Shakes.

OMG, I don't feel so alone! I thought I was the only one who remembered this great stuff. Loved the chocolate and butterscotch. Still remember what a treat it was to get this on Sunday night and watch the wonderful world of Disney! Ah the good old days.

yesterday I took a bite of a vanilla LUNA bar and the flavor took me way back to a warm childhood memory. I knew it reminded me of something, but couldn't quite recall exactly what. It took a couple of hours before I remembered, yes!--that's it!--vanilla Shake-a-Puddin'! I've asked a few in my office of my generation if they remembered, and it seems I'm the only one who had was fortunate enough to have a mom who bought me that "space-age" treat! (wasn't everything cool in those days called "space-age"?)

Man, it's good to know some of us are still around! My 20 and 30 something co-workers think I'm nuts. I remember this stuff and other things from that time like yesterday. Chocolate was the best, no question. I think I even remember the cups as being white and blue in a vertical striped pattern. I guess the next best pudding innovation was Snack Pack in the aluminum cans. Remember mom telling you not to lick the top? You folks made my day. Thanks!

I made a mistake by saying that shake a pudding was out of business by 1970, but I guess it still existed. It's just that it was off the shelf in Toronto, Canada by around that time. Maybe between 1970-72. Best pudding I ever tasted when I was a kid.

Remember the rest of the shake-a-puddin jingle? Shake it at the park, shake it at the pool, shake it for dessert shake it at the school! I don't remember eating the product but I remember the song!

Alot of stuff from the 60's and 70's are still around go onto the cracker barrel website and the vermont country store they have lots of candy toys charles chips

I was just talking today about shake a puddin' at the school where I work. The receptionist (who is just 10 years younger than me) looked at me like I was nutty. I had to explain to her about shakin' my puddin' and how good it tasted when it was finally ready. I have to admit, that 5 minutes felt like it took FOREVER!! My mom wasn't as crazy about shake a puddin' as I was - of course, I couldn't clean the mess up as well as she could - and I always made a mess! I think I was only 4 or 5 at the time, and I insisted on makin' the puddin' myself - it wasn't ever as good if someone else did the shakin' for me! As for all of the other good stuff that's been mentioned. . . my husband and I took a day trip to Caledonia, MO a month or so ago. They've re-opened the old general store there and have some of the best penny candy ever! Of course, it costs more than a penny these days, but boy, was it worth the cost just to take the trip down memory lane! If you're ever in that area of Missouri, make sure you look the place up. You won't be disappointed!

No one at work remembers this stuff. I thought shake-a-puddin' was the same thing as Great Shake - as I remember the brown cup with white lid. My grandmother kept these on had for me and I loved them! Early '70's in El Paso, TX!

Eating shake-a-pudding, space food sticks, and the little PDQ chocolate flavor bead crunchies (instead of putting them in milk) was the thing to do while making bugs with me Creepy Crawler set and wax soldiers with my Formex 7. Ah for yesterday...
