As a kid until today, I can say that with the exception of chocodiles I've eaten my share of Hostess products, on rare occasion I'll buy a box or two, or was that 3, LOL, at the dollar store, oh, here's another piece of trivia, back in the seventies actress Ann Blyth, of Mildred Pierce fame used to advertise Hostess with the tagline, "Freshness Never Tasted So Good", but even with all that's gone on, it's still the best!!!

My fave pie was the chocolate pudding one... I lived 4 blocks from their bakery. We Loved smelling the fresh baked products

[womblastx]

Lol that clip from Click at the beginning though

I *CONFESS* to eating Chocodiles for a time. Especially after being placed in the freezer and then eating the chocolate covering afterwards. The layer of THICK chocolate covering was DELICIOUS.

[julesgainey]

I have no idea why but *cats typing furiously on keyboards cracks me up* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[davidrgerena]

Hostess used to make spice cake with frosting.

Ding Dongs followed by the coconut mini donuts or raspberry zingers...mmm...with cold milk, of course.

[hellhound]

[ellayvette]

You guys always make my day, you're amazing Babbletop!!

I liked the lemon fruit pies. I still like the vanilla zingers. My favorite was the small loaf shaped angel food with the pink icing. Pretty sure they were Dolly Madison. Used to always get them from a vending machine in the break room at work, but have never seen them sold anywhere. Wish I could find them.
