Still love them - still can’t resist them!😂

With the white tree cakes a close second!

But, but... this!

Maybe they changed their minds about discontinuing them.

Nowadays, I’d have to be nearing starvation before eating one.

Swiss Rolls were my favorite. Unpeeling them while eating.



Later it was Hostess Raspberry Zingers.

I think they're way better than Hostess although they don't make a Twinkie. Or a snowball.

Drake's Yodels

forget what they were called.

Had one once...went back to Drake's

They're pretty much the same, now, albeit still different companies.

In my probably-faulty memory, except for Twinkies, Drake would introduce something and then Hostess would copy it.

-- Mal

They tasted funny, but there was always the challenge of peeling off that curly stripe.

Loved them!

We lived close to a hostess factory and often visited their reduced price factory store when I was a kid. My dad would buy a whole box of orange cupcakes.

I was a kid BEFORE Little Debbie hove onto the scene!

Drakes Cakes
1. Yodels
2. Ring Dings

supply thing. This was when they were packed in twos or in singles like the banana creme turnovers.

... I grew up in Brentwood, and the local store stocked Drakes. It was not a chain store, though.

-- Mal

stock. I do remember the Tastycake pies. I spent my youth in Duquesne. Thank you malthaussen.

Those were awesome! I always went back and forth between Cupcakes and Ding-Dongs and HoHos. It had to be chocolate, though. There was a lot of Hostess goodness back in the 80's. I'm going to have to Google and see what else I forgot.

and at the right opportune moment, would sneak up on the other and smash it in her face!

I don’t know if that makes Suzy-Q my favorite or not, but it does bring back the memories!

As they say, simple pleasures for simple minds.

And guess what?! She's my best friend to this day.

Nutty Buddys and Twinkies

Was nuts about those when I was a kid.
Twinkies were high on my list, too.

Little Debbie's. But my favorite was Apple Delights. Sadly, they no longer make them.

Hostess chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing, white frosting swirls, and cream inside.

... the only confectioners I remember from my childhood are Drakes, Hostess, and Tastykake. Maybe because Little Debbie wasn't founded until 1960.

My favorite probably was (and still is) Tastykake's Coffee Cake cupcakes. But before I moved to Philly and learned about Tastykake, it would have been those folded-over devil's food sandwiches filled with "kreme" that Drake made. Don't remember what they were called, and as far as I know, they don't make them anymore. There was also one of angel food filled with banana-flavored "kreme," but I didn't like those as much.

Or any of the other snack cakes/cookies. If we wanted cookies or cakes, we had to bake them ourselves… which we quickly learned we could do better than Mom. 🤣

My kids grew up on home baked goodies, but I’m sure they’ve tried all the rest by now. They seem particularly fond of moon pies, which I definitely don’t see the appeal of.

I’m sure it’s all tasty, but I still prefer to bake my own. I’ll admit that mine are less fancy.

I will still buy one from time to time. They're not as good as they used to be, but still hit.

Used to take one bite, pull off the marshmallow coating and call it an igloo. Used that idea one time for a grade school project.

my first and only one. The weird taste was the first giveaway, like my taste buds were warning me. Then came the shortness of breath ... look at it this way, it leaves more coconut for you!

my girlfriend’s dad was the local distributor for Little Debbie. So she was my favorite Little Debbie treat.

Debbie's. Are they regional or all over the US?

and Little Debbie was in all the stores here.

and on Valentines Day they came in pink.

when the Hostess fruit pies were introduced in the early 1960's. Dad liked the cherry ones that Mom put in his lunch box. I remember they were only fifteen cents apiece when they came out!

about Mom and Dad, it was a year ago this week that we buried their ashes together. I never could be the kind of man Dad was.

They are indeed a blessing.

I was a devotee of honey buns and pinwheels

Pretty much the same thing as the snowballs but with the cake from the Twinky and raspberry and coconut with the marshmallow covering.

HOSTESS Raspberry ZINGERS, 10 count - Pick ‘n Save https://share.google/qt6bmmQz4rHjNuTHp

Every year for my daughter's birthday o make her a Susy Q cake

Liked the Hostess applesauce cupcakes too but don't recall ever seeing them in stores after mid 60s.

Hershey's Black Magic cake is a recipe for the super chocolate cake like the Hostess cupcakes only better.

Has black coffee as an ingredient. Once (maybe still is) on Hershey's Cocoa containers plus JUST FOUND the Recipe for Black Magic cake on the internet!!!

https://www.hersheyland.com/recipes/black-magic-cake.html

I recall the Black Magic cake as a layer cake or cupcakes (not bundt) with white or chocolate cream cheese frosting.

Don't think my floundering and aged body could handle that much sugar at present.

but my grandparent's bakery better. strussel 'squares', rectangles.

also liked Drake's Funny Bones and Hostess Big Wheels (now King Dons)

Oatmeal cream pies which were not a diet food. haha

Hostess or Tastykake cupcakes, Ring Dings, Ding Dongs, HoHos, Suzy Qs, Snowballs, and Zingers. The only exception to the chocolate only policy was for Hostess cherry or lemon fruit pies.
