what is up with hostess ho ho's costing so much more than little debbie's swiss cake rolls? i think the swiss cake roll is a superior product anyway. am i missing something?
You know I got some of the yellow (orange flavored) cupcakes for the first time in years a couple of months ago. When did they get so small, or am I much bigger now?

i've never had this. is it hostess? an what is the deal with zingers? those are the nasty product in all the vending machines...does anyone eat those??
But I have to say that the yellow cupcakes rock. I haven't had one since. . . shit. . . 4th grade. I have had the chocolate ones (seem more ubiquitous) and indeed, they keep getting smaller. It's the nickel-bar syndrome. The price stays the same, but the product gets smaller.
I remember I used to eat Kudos bars a lot, then one day they redesigned their boxes and product appearance claiming "35% less fat" turns out it was just 35% less size, as the new kudos were tiny!
You're in a thread about Hostess vs. Little Debbie and you're asking about real food??? Oh *PLEASE*.
Sheesh. Some people.
I'll take the Ho-Ho's any day over Swiss Cake. Ick. Frankly, I haven't had a Little Debbie product *yet* that didn't make me feel like I'd eaten a brick of badly-flavored wax. :P (My only fond association with LD is Man or Astroman - god I miss them. *snif*)
Of course, I'll take Ding Dongs over Ho-Ho's too. They rock.
But Suzy-Q's are just not nearly as good as they were when I was a kid. They're only fit for demonstrating cunnilingus techniques anymore.
Now Devil Dogs were always a mystery. They were always these two bone-dry cakes with a tiny layer of cream filling. You needed like 2 glasses of milk to choke them down. Ugh.

haha! ordering snack cakes over the internet? for some, the only excercise they get is walking to the store to buy the swiss cake rolls
A college buddy and his roommate decided to see how long it would take for a Twinkie to rot. So they left it under glass, with continued moisture, in light. Warm, moist... perfect, right?
Six months later a spot of mold appeared.
A month later it was about 1/2" across.
A month after that, it was *GONE*... and the Twinkie was *intact*.
At that point they decided that regenerating snack cake products were not to be trifled with by the likes of mortal men, and tossed the thing in the dumpster out back, lest it crawl out of their own dustbin and murder them in their sleep for having kept it captive all that time.

What's with all those artificial colors, preservatives, anti-caking agents (!), taste enhancers, etc etc....
We are just not designed to cope with this processed chemical crap...and it tastes awful too. Yuk!!!!!!!
What's wrong with real food!!!!?????
they have been small ever since

"Real food" is for communists.
More seriously, hostess products seem to digest far better than do leafy vegetables.

The Swiss Roll was also a superior product

That's because they provide their own lubrication through your digestive tract!

Now my main addiction is Little Debbie's Nutty Bars.
Cheap imitators need not apply.

Now they are smaller than I remember...and I am larger.
