I loved them and would convince my dad to buy them for the entire family as a treat. Then, I’d scarf up everyone’s points card. I don’t recall what the prize was. ---

> [@Qadgop\_the\_Mercotan](#): > > Mallo Cups pretty ubiquitous around the gas stations in Wisconsin Haha. I’m almost 100% sure that’s where I saw it over the weekend. That said, I think I see them in some Chicago or Chicago-area gas stations, too. Also, when I go out east to visit my in-laws in Pennsylvania, but they’re made out there, so no surprise. While I don’t like Mallo Cups, the Boyer Candy version of peanut butter cups I do quite like. ---

The prize was a box of Mallocups, like 25 of them, I redeemed it a few times as I was “head candy girl” at my Catholic school where the nuns sold candy at lunch time. ---

I clicked @Reeses_Monkey 's link and saw that Mallo Cups are ubiquitous in Ohio gas stations too so I’ll be able to grab some without going to the specialty store. I asked my boyfriend about Mallo Cups yesterday and he said his buddy was obsessed with Mallo Cup Points in the 90s. Not having ever eaten any I said “what like Camel points?” and he said yes. Apparently you could collect points from the package and exchange them for goodies… [AND YOU STILL CAN](https://www.boyercandies.com/playmoney.aspx). I asked what his buddy did with his points and he said nothing. Never redeemed them, just collected them. Kids are dumb. ---

> [@Qadgop\_the\_Mercotan](#): > > Mallo Cups pretty ubiquitous around the gas stations in Wisconsin, along with Zero bars I wasn’t much of a candy bar eater when I was a kid, but I did like Zero bars. ETA: I just googled Zero bar and didn’t recognize the wrapper. Didn’t they used to have a polar bear on them… or am I making that up? ---

They had a few earlier versions of wrapper. Here’s the Polar Bear one: [![](https://i.postimg.cc/BZKJdbh4/zero-bar-polar-bear.jpg) ](https://i.postimg.cc/BZKJdbh4/zero-bar-polar-bear.jpg) here’s an earlier version, no bear.

Maybe that’s why I liked them. I’m not a fan of milk chocolate. ---

The last Mallo Cups I bought were from Cracker Barrel, but I often find them in the supermarket and get them on a whim. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hey-remember-mallo-cups/980101.md?page=1)
