Laura Secord is a noted Canadian confectioner and the company behind these tasty puddings with a very memorable jingle. It used to come in a metal can before it came in a plastic cup.





I can't tell if it was marketed in the US under the Jell-O named brand or not after finding the commercial below. I haven't seen it on the shelf for years, so I assume it's no longer made. The only one I can find are Hunt's Snack Packs and they seem super cheap :S

This ad with bonus recipe appeared in the May, 1983 issue of Canadian Living. Maybe it's a perfect Valentine's treat? I dunno...I wouldn't be able to make it or eat it, LOL.

The key ingredients are gelatin, mini marshmallows, and heavy whipped cream--so while it doesn't have the traditional pudding ingredients, it's definitely something in-between. It does have dairy and sugar, so I guess that counts?

Canadian crooner Bobby Curtola (1943-2016) sings this jingle for Coca-Cola. His biggest hit was "Fortune Teller".

Curtola made his home in Edmonton, Alberta in later years and he was one of those perennial local celebrities that showed up to every event. He also did commercials for grocery store chain IGA.

Ah Prell-the other shampoo in a tube! Proctor & Gamble's Prell was a direct competitor to Colgate-Palmolive's Lustre Cream. Unlike Lustre Cream, you can still buy Prell today.
