    I’m not sure nutrition facts are going to hold much sway here...

    Yeah, they are all bad.
    However....I take pleasure in the fact that the one hostess item I eat is cranked up to 11 with sugar.

    McDonald's used to have a chocolate-filled pie along with their apple one.  I always eschewed the latter for the former.  That shit was great and should be returned to the menu.
    The only dessert I’ve had from McD’s is the McFlurry- delicious and high in calories, of course...

    I believe you are correct ;)
    It wasn’t like I was trying to be a Debbie Downer- it’s just shocking to see the amount of sugar.

    And, I can appreciate the research.  Had no idea it was more than 2x by the facts.... although I thought it had more sugary awfulness/goodness.

    Hedo....for shame.  Not, THE Drake?  ;)

    Deadendp....I agree.  The Coco ones are nasty.  Only the vanilla ones.

    Renfield....nice research.  The nasty shit they lay on top of the cake....not sure what it is, it is obviously horrible food-like substance to put in your body, but it tastes amazing.  Pure sugar rush.
    I’m out on the Zinger, it just doesn’t seem worth it, unless you tell me I must at least try one in my lifetime.

    If you try it....you need to eat all three that come in the packet in short order.  Sugar rush demands it.

    When a 20+ year old and living in CA, I would stop at 7-11 every day on the way home from work.  I always got a packet of Zingers and usually got a twelve pack.  Nothing says ready to party like a sugar high.

    I had no idea that McDonalds ever had a chocolate pie. I suspect it never made its way out to northern BC :lol:

    Hostess bought the right s to Drakes cakes.

    They are home of the Devil Dog, Yankee Doodle, Yodel and Ding Dong.

    These are superior to anything that Hostess actually makes.

    Prove me wrong, c'mon.
    F* U Commie!

    Never heard of it, had to look it up. Says they are available on the East Coast again.

    History 
    The Chocodile mascot was formerly Chauncey Chocodile, but Hostess has removed him from packaging and their website in recent years. Since the late 1990s, Chocodiles have no longer been sold on the East Coast of the United States. Hostess had only a few West Coast factories making them, and to ensure the products' freshness, Chocodiles were sold only on the West Coast.

    There has been debate over whether a Chocodile is a chocolate-covered Twinkie. The debate arose from the seeming "texture difference" between the Twinkie and the Chocodile. During a taste test and debate in Vacaville, California, opinions were split among those taking the test, as to whether the taste of the cake was the same. This issue was resolved during a show on the Food Network where it was confirmed by Hostess that the Chocodile was, in fact, a chocolate-covered Twinkie. This has caused consternation for some who continue to swear the cake is different. In actuality, it's the chocolate that makes the difference. Due to the chocolate coating, the cake tends to stay more moist, leading to the slightly different texture when compared to a normal Twinkie[citation needed].

    In 2014, Hostess Brands reintroduced the cake as "Chocodile Twinkies".[1] The new cakes are 1.45 oz. each, and are labelled as "Fun size" as the original Chocodiles were 2 oz. each. They are also now available on the East Coast.

    In 2017, Hostess reintroduced the full sized Chocodiles as "Fudge Covered Twinkies".

    Oh fuck, is YouTube a rabbit hole.
    So...I was looking for an easy video showing the greatness of Zingers....and I found yet another YouTube video that made me scared.  Scared for people and scared about people.
    I shut it down once he started mimicking the devil, but I imagine this guy eating people that he kidnapped and has stored away in his closet (likely alive, in boxes with air-holes, where he feeds them just enough food and water to keep them going) vs. eating hostess snack foods.

    Wow.

    Ran reconnaissance at the 7-11 near my office. Not yet ready-may have to be triple dog dared into it.

    The McD ones were unlike the Asian ones Renfield posted.  Just the baked light frosted shell, filled with chocolate-y goodness.

    Wow, $2.59!!  Remember when they were under a buck.
    Triple Dog Dare...and you must select the vanilla ones and eat all three in rapid order. 


    Nice research on the creeper politician.  It was tough to steer away from his Donate page.

    It would be great to video this and share....and then share your state of mind about 2 mins later when that sugar bomb hits you.
