You unlocked a core childhood memory. It must have been sometime around the late 1980s pudding started being sold in plastic containers and I forgot they had ever been in cans.

Oh ! I misunderstood the post. I thought it was about powdered pudding being most variety in the stores. There is still canned pudding and fruit coktail in France but also some in plastic.

Same. Fruit cocktail, too.

Ohhhh. Fruit cocktail.

Also, in the army it was the pouches of fruit salad or pears. If you lucked out and got that in your box, you could trade for a lot to the poor sap who got cherry pie and "lung in a bag" isn't doing it for them.

I just popped open a can of fruit cocktail for the kids yesterday. It's a 350ml can, not a single serve. We portion into mini mason jars.
