#40: Mallo Cups

Mallo Cups, a cherished confection since its inception in the 1930s by Boyer Brothers in Pennsylvania, have delighted generations with their unique combination of marshmallow filling encased in milk chocolate and sprinkled with coconut flakes. This iconic candy became a staple of American sweet culture, famed not just for its taste but for its pioneering use of the Play Money rebate program, a novel marketing strategy at the time.

Despite their enduring popularity, Mallo Cups have become increasingly scarce on store shelves, a development that puzzles and disheartens fans. This scarcity reflects changing consumer tastes and the evolution of the confectionery industry, leading to a nostalgic longing for the days when Mallo Cups were easily found and enjoyed by enthusiasts of all ages.
