Actually, you really have to give Quis that one. I love Lardy dearly, but subtle he's not.

I preferred the type(s) Hostess and Drake's snacks that had peanut butter rather than plain cream. Not that I can remember which they were.

I did like Ring Dings, I do recall, even with the regular cream filling.

I don't think Hostes had a peanut butter filled snack cake. Drake's were called Funy Bone

I've never had a Drake's snack. Never even heard of them until this thread.

Funny Bones! Yes.

in my youth, Drake's Cakes seemed more prevalent than even Hostess.

Drake's Cakes are pretty much exclusive to the Northeastern U.S. Round about Philadelphia, they get supplanted by Tastykakes.

Neither of which is easily available in Texas. sigh

According to wikipedia, the same company that owns Hostess now also owns Drake's.

I live in determined denial of the fact that one can actually purchase Tastykakes by mail order.

Believe me, it's better that way for all concerned-- with the possible exception of those who own stock in whatever giant corporation now owns Tastykake.

I wouldn't touch that stuff with a 10-foot pole anymore. Some childhood joys should remain safely in the past.

Thanks, Quis. I may take you up on that someday.

The ones I always wanted to try when I was little were the Dolly Madison cakes, because Charlie Brown did the commercials. They didn't sell them in Boston, alas. Now, they've been absorbed into the Hostess line.

Dolly Madison didn't have a big impact in my neck of the woods for whatever reason.

Little Debbie did and does, though.

Bah! Everyone knows the best (could survive nuclear war to be discovered in 10000 years by alien exo-archaeologists) snack cakes are Vachon Jos Louis and May West from Quebec.

I've seen those on the shelves, now that I'm north of the border. I just assumed they were pretty similar to the Drakes/Hostess ones.

I didn't know it. I'm from the U.S. Midwest. I've never heard of either.

Joe Louises, in fact, look just like Ring Dings.

Ring Dings, of course, look just like Ding Dongs. At one time, Hostess could not sell Ding Dongs by that name in states where Drake's Ring Dings were sold. They were variously called Big Wheels and King Dons. Eventually, they came to be called Ding Dongs everywhere.
