You posted while I was typing. Me and my wife love devil dogs post 19

[Coolgoober]

19. Devil Dogs

By Drakes. I always loved them but my wife turned me on to storing them in the freezer. They're great with a cup of hot tea. And we still either have them sent by the dozens of boxes or we load up our rv when we travel to the east coast. For some reason we don't get them out here in the west.

[debm55]

41. Thank you very much, Coolgoober for sharing. Enjoy.

[spooky3]

[spooky3]

[enid602]

[nuxvomica]

37. Ding Dongs

A Hostess confection. Snow Balls are second and Devil Dogs third. I never liked Twinkies.

[debm55]

47. Thank you very much, nuxvomica. for your selections.

[surrealAmerican]

39. Drakes Yodels

I liked to try to carefully unroll them too.

[debm55]

[Rebl2]

44. The Hostess

Chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing with the cream filling and lastly the white squiggle on top. Now I want one.🫤

[debm55]

46. HAHHAHAHHAHA. Thank you , Rebl2, for sharing. Sometimes my little squiggle would stick to the cellophane.

[Rebl2]

49. Yep it would 😂

[debm55]

55. You too? HAHAHAHAHAHHAHHah

[TommieMommy]

48. Loved Snowballs 👍 my first choice

[debm55]

53. Me too!!!. Thank you TommieMommy.

[MontanaMama]

54. My mom would absolutely not buy us any of that stuff.

However, on the sly, every once in a while I would sneak a Hostess fruit pie. Cherry or blackberry.

[debm55]

59. HAHAHAHAHHAHA. Thank you very much, MontanaMama.

[CivicGrief]

56. I second Suzy Q's

[berksdem]

60. as a Philly kid is was always Tastykake!

[debm55]

63. Yes. the home of the Tastykake. thank you berdsdem. Enjoy their selection . Do you have a favorite?

[berksdem]

72. oh boy!

Kandy Kakes, Oatmeal Raisin Bars and the Choc Glazed!

Unfortunately, about 10 years ago I was diagnosed w Celiac so I can not longer eat them

[2MuchNoise]

80. Kandy Kakes are the best.

They used to be called Tandy Takes.

[WA-03 Democrat]

62. Lived in a sugar free house

Ho Ho’s looked awesome

[debm55]

64. Oh, Thank you for sharing WA-03 Democrat.

[Chasstev365]

65. Dolly Madison VANILLA ZINGERS (The yellow frosting was eaten separately)

[debm55]

66. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Yes, Chasstev365, It was something to saver. I would take my snow balls and take off the marshmallow and

coconut, eat it and then it the little cake.

[Cloudhopper]

67. Drakes Ring Dings. Ea wrapped in tin foil

No cellophane and greasy cardboard they use now.

[debm55]

69. I agree, Thank you very much, Cloudhopper. My icing comes off with the cellophane.

[no_hypocrisy]

77. Ring Dings in 1963 were either 4 inches or 5 inches in diameter.

And cost only a nickel.

Those were the days . . . . .

[rsdsharp]

68. Susie Qs! Chocolate cake and white chemical filling. Yuuuuuum!

[debm55]

70. OHHHHHHHHH. Thank you very much rsdsharp for sharing with us.

[LudwigPastorius]

71. I blame the Charlie Brown Christmas & Halloween specials.

They were always sponsored by Dolly Madison. Zingers were the gateway drug.

When Hostess came out with Ding Dongs, that was it. I could get high just from peeling back the aluminum foil that each one used to come wrapped in.

[ProfessorGAC]

73. Twinkies & Ho-Hos

Both Hostess.
I'm not sure Little Debbie was around here when I was a little kid. Maybe I just don't remember it.

[darkstar]

74. Hostess Cherry Pies

[debm55]

75. Absolutely that you darkstar. That was my second choice..

[Bluestocking]

76. Twinkies

The way they tasted 50 years ago. They don’t taste the same today.

[debm55]

91. Thank you very much for sharing your personal favorite, Bluestocking. They were good. I haven't had one in a long time.

[Bmoboy]

78. Tastykake Krimpets

Butterscotch or jelly filled.
Did not care for the cream filled.

[2MuchNoise]

81. Butterscotch Krimpets when they're really fresh. So good.

[debm55]

89. Oh I remember they. Thank you for sharing. Sweet memories of the Butterscotch Krimpets. TY , 2MuchNoise.

[debm55]

90. Agree, but I also liked the cream filled, Thank you for sharing Bmoboy.

[doc03]

79. Suzi Q. Even better a local bakery Nickles made "Banana Flip" similar to Suzi Q with banana filling. nt

[debm55]

88. Thank you, doc03. Giant Eagle in Pittsburgh area still sells the Nichles brand products. I loved The Banana Flip.

[Sailingdiver]

82. Fruit pies

I forget who made them, but they were full of pie filling and had a turnover type of crust.

Lots of flavors, but I liked the blueberry, cherry, and apple.

[debm55]

87. Thank you very much for sharing, Salingdriver. I liked the cherry pie. Someone mentioned the company name. I'll check it

out.

[Morbius]

83. I am absolutely stunned that no one mentioned Nutty Buddy.

Nutty Buddy bars (from Little Debbie) are one of the great things about America. Of course, they are addictive.

?odnHeight=573&odnWidth=573&odnBg=FFFFFF

[debm55]

86. Oh, Thank you Morbius for sharing. Were/are they your favorites? They remind me of KitKat candy bars.

[Morbius]

92. I still buy Nutty Buddies on a regular basis.

A box of 12, like shown above, runs me $2.99. A "Big Box", containing 24, runs $4.59. When I buy a box I split it with my daughter; my share lasts a few days, her share disappears all at once.

Kit Kats have no peanut butter.

[debm55]

93. Oh, That's the difference. Thank you Morbius.

[OldBaldy1701E]

96. Bingo! The one thing that I still buy from time to time! (n/t)

[LogDog75]

84. Hostess Cupcakes

They still are.

[debm55]
