    Oh, and does anyone mind if I see fit to drag Entenmann’s into the ring for a while?

    Anyone in NYC remember eating a Chocodile?Image result for 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".
    It was years ago that I ate the chocodile.

    Nice to learn a little more about it actually!

    Thanks!!!

    Holy crap! I remember those. Have not seen them in years, though.

    Honestly, that is quite a bait and switch.
