    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?

    The swiss cake rolls are definitely superior.



    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 cannot say I like the orange ones.... I much prefer the "classic chocolate". Not sure why, I just don't like 'em.

    Hostess products! And they are one amongst many that's not fit for human consumption...

    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!!!!?????

    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!



    they have been small ever since

    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.

    "Real food" is for communists.



    More seriously, hostess products seem to digest far better than do leafy vegetables.

    Ahhh...but I submit that the greatest snack cake of all is:



    the Ring Ding, brought to you by Drakes Cakes



    Link to Snack Cake Nirvana



    The Swiss Roll was also a superior product



    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.

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

    The last time I had a Hottess Ho Ho was in 9th grade when I successfully crammed 4 into my mouth at one time.



    Now my main addiction is Little Debbie's Nutty Bars.







    Cheap imitators need not apply.

    In younger days I would eat a couple of those little chocolate glazed mini-donut 6-packs for breakfast. Ahh...good times.



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

    Not only that, they're alive.



    No, really.



    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.
