Hoodsie cups

[luvflorida]

You New Englanders know what I'm talking about.

My daughter's facebook status says something about wanting a Hoodsie cup. Her friends here in Arizona don't know what she's talking about, but her friends from Maine do. I'm guessing there must be something similar to Hoodsie cups in other parts of the country.

Hoodsie cups are made by the HP Hood dairy company, hence the name. They are little cardboard cups of ice cream, half vanilla/half chocolate in each container. They used to come with individually wrapped, flat wooden spoons. The ones that are found in plastic bags in the frozen section of the grocery store don't have the spoons, but I know there are smaller stores that sell single cups and they sometimes have a strip of wrapped spoons by the check-out counter.

Okay, so now I want a Hoodsie cup, too. If you had/have these little cups of ice cream, what did/do you call them?

We just call them "little cups of ice cream".

I guess I never thought about what to call them. They serve them in schools, and it's just called "ice cream" on the menu.

I bought them once for DD's birthday party and we just called it single-serving cups.

When I opened the post, I wondered if it was some kind of name for the hood part of a hoodie.

We called them "Skippy Cups"

Never heard of them called that before...but it is more fun than "I want a little cup of half vanilla half choc. ice cream with a wooden spoon."

Well, I'm a Mainer displaced in Oklahoma, and I will tell you now, that there AREN'T any Hoodsie cups here!! Nothing remotely close. LOL Or Oakhurst milk.

When we go "home" to Maine, we gorge ourselves on them. And Wasses hot dogs.

I'm an Okie who spent summers with my grandpa in New Hampshire. Okies also don't know anything about Fluffernutters and my DD and I get very strange looks when that's what we pack in our lunchboxes. Our Fluff is brought to us by family when they come this direction. One year, my wonderful husband contacted the company and had a box of Fluff (about 6 containers) sent to me for Christmas.

MMMMMMM hoodsie cups MMMMMM
I grew up in MA and LOVED these. Imaging how happy I was to find them a few months ago at BJ's. My kids ( born and raised in Florida) are now fans of Hoodsies!!

Friendly's Sundaes come in the little cups at the grocery store too, but you probably don't have those in AZ either since that too is a New England thing. These are WAY better than boring Hoodsie cups.

I think you just need to move back to New England. lol

While Hoodie cups are ok, I don't like the little wooden spoons. lol

 

[DisneyBamaFan]

...I think you just need to move back to New England. lol

Think about the taxes...

 

[DaisyLynn]

Yum! I was raised on these. I'd love to have one now - but I can only eat them with the little wooden flat spoon. It doesn't taste the same with a regular spoon.

I grew up in Mass. Love Hoodsie cups. Anyone remember their jingle?? "You can feel good, good about Hood!"

I was afraid to open this thread because I wasn't sure what a hoodsie cup was? Glad to see it's just ice cream. I was thinking it was one of those things I'd just have to google and regret googling.

We used to get those when I was a kid but it was a different brand name. Maybe Borden- ahhh I can't remember but they were good!

I think the DIS has caused all of us to do this at least once
