There were always Hoodsie Cups in my Grandmother's freezer. My Grandfather grew up in Windsor Locks, CT (just south of Suffield) and the only brand of ice cream he would eat was Hood. It wasn't good for him, given the state of his heart, but there was a simple pleasure to sitting on the front steps on a summer afternoon, watching the cars drive by, and eating ice cream off of a little wooden paddle. (Fiercely loyal, he also bought Stateline potato chips until the day he died.)
It's not for a Hoodsie cup but I'm pretty sure that there's an authentic offer for a free single serve container of Hood Red Sox ice cream out there. According to the press release, the coupon offer is real. But officially the coupon can only be attained from the Globe and the Portland Press Herald in Sunday's paper and it's been download-able from Boston.com since yesterday. Also according to the press release, the coupon is good until April 11; whereas the random Internet version expires on Sunday. It's definitely worth a try if you get free ice cream. Comeback Caramel, all the way.
