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...
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.
Anyone in NYC remember eating a Chocodile? It's a chocolate covered twinkie w a different name from years ago.
I LOVED these.
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".
I had no idea that McDonalds ever had a chocolate pie. I suspect it never made its way out to northern BC
Me neither. They have this in Asia

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.

It was years ago that I ate the chocodile.
Nice to learn a little more about it actually!
Thanks!!!
Anyone else ever have these?
A chocodile? Yup. Back in college, when my metabolism was still fully functioning.
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.

However....I take pleasure in the fact that the one hostess item I eat is cranked up to 11 with sugar.
It wasn’t like I was trying to be a Debbie Downer- it’s just shocking to see the amount of sugar.

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