There is a lot to be learned from the fallen Pudding Pop Empire where marketing is concerned. Namely, where is it today? Other celebrity food products are still around, like Paul Newman's salad dressing. Personally when I attend an evening at the Olive Garden, I tell them to take their crap imitation dressing and stick it up their poopers and I whip out some of the real stuff, good ol' Mr. Newman which I use to spice up their salads Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid style. And you've gotta ask yourself, why is Paul Newman's product still around and Cosby's not? Because comedian styled food never sells. Who would dare touch Robin William's Pretzels or Roseanne Barr's Wonder Sliced Bread Loaf. Nobody. But people who aren't comedians, they can sell food products. Even things that help prepare food like the George Foreman grill. I've got 4 of em' myself, in green, blue, yellow and red Imac color.
