Hunt's Snack Pack
Hunt's Snack Pack is a pudding snack product manufactured by ConAgra Foods.[1]
About
Snack Packs were introduced in 1968 in single-serve aluminum/metal cans, before switching to plastic cups in 1984 and clear plastic cups in 1990.[2] They are marketed as healthy treats for children. In the 1970s Snack Pack was sold in Australia via the Foster Clark company with the television slogan "if it wasn't for a Snack Pack, a kid'd starve".
In popular culture
Snack Pack appears in the movie Billy Madison where the title character is disappointed that Juanita didn't include one in his lunch. He attempts to grab one from a schoolboy during lunch time but fails. He eventually gets a whole pack of it as a present from Miss Vaughn when celebrating passing Third Grade.
In episode 16 of season 3 That '70s Show, Kitty Forman gives Fez and Hyde a pair of Snack Packs. However, instead of the period-accurate aluminum containers of the 1970s the Snack Packs are in the modern-day clear plastic current containers.[2]
In Episode 14 of Season 2 of How I Met Your Mother, Marshal demands a Snack Pack from a child in Lily's kindergarten class after spraying his pants with juice for blackmailing him with the Super Bowl results.
