    I’m not sure nutrition facts are going to hold much sway here... 
    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.
    and only 30 more calories......

    Honorable mention goes to Zebra Cakes. 
    Maybe they are Little Debbie, not sure, but same fakecake kind of treat.
    Little Debbie has the great and glorious Nutty Bars...oh and the Oatmeal Creme Pies...and Star Crunch...

    Damn.  
    What a showdown.

    Sorry, no contest.
    Fudge Rounds and Nutty Bars alone slay the Hostess Brand!
    Hostess Cupcakes are pretty awesome, and Ho Hos are pretty good, but I don't actually know anyone who like or eats Twinkies.  Maybe it's a regional thing, but I've only ever seen one eaten in TV/movies.

    It's really not even fair to everything else to include Nutty Bars.

    Post of the year.  This is a guy who knows the munchies.  Fudge Round and Nutty Bars are the pinnacle.  Great call.

    Nutty bars have those icky wafer thingies in them. I can agree that fudge rounds are good, but the rest are not really my gig. 

    A Twinkie can be quite delicious! Again, frozen is a must. Zingers. (Vanilla only) Suzy Qs, Ding Dongs, the lil chocolate chip mini muffins, coffee cakes.... There was a Hostess Outlet just a mile away. When they announced they were going out of business, the store was jammed. I used to take my niece and nephew in, hand them $5 each and they would leave the store with a bag loaded down with snack cake goodness. Boxes were $1 each. Singles were 3/$1. I bought bread every few weeks, but the kids did snack cake heaven. 

    I am their favorite aunt. :smiley:

    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.


    Lol! He’s a politician 

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


    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.
    The gauntlet has been thrown down...challenge accepted & completed.  Now I need a sugar detox. Sorry folks-not my thing.

    Hahaha truth.
    I like my dry buzz and I live to eat.
    I work out 2-2.5 hours every day because that's easier for me than living without Little Debbie's and Hostesses.

    Southern Culture on the Skids shows were epic back in the day.

    Banana pudding served (kind of) with “Banana Pudding.”

    They got a couple of their songs onto the Super Troopers soundtrack as well. 
    I SAW PEARL JAM

    Those always-taste-stale Choco donuts from Entenmanns are pretty good.
