Kraft Dessert Toppings: While Kraft doesn’t sell the exact same jarred chocolate fudge sauce as they did in the '60s, their legacy lives on! Kraft’s dessert toppings eventually got folded into other brands. Today, Jet-Puffed (a Kraft brand) carries some dessert sauces, and you’ll find chocolate syrups under brands like Hershey's more commonly now.
Chocolate Fudge: Hershey’s Hot Fudge Sauce
Caramel Sauce: Smucker’s Caramel Topping
Strawberry Topping: Smucker’s Strawberry Topping
Pineapple Topping: Smucker’s Pineapple Topping/Dole Crushed Pineapple

From the Archives & Food HistoryPineapple Royale: The "Pineapple Royale"
If pineapple sauce was involved, especially paired with chocolate and strawberries, some parlors leaned into the "Royale" or "King’s Treat" type of names.
Meadow Gold Ice Cream: The Meadow Gold brand still exists, but its availability depends on where you live, if you’re in states like Hawaii, Utah, Idaho, or parts of the Midwest, you’re more likely to see Meadow Gold products.
