Your mom is a ho-ho. Zinger!

I like a good ho-ho. A frozen ho-ho. I think I may prefer the Zinger, though.

I've never even heard of them (though they look rather like a Twinkie); I guess I've led a shelted life. :D

I haven't seen those things in ages, man.

Pfft. You can't beat the O.G.

They are VERY MUCH like a Twinkie, but add some frosting on top for added goodness.

There are also chocolate and raspberry zingers, which are less like twinkies.

[Kenzington4short]

Never heard of it. Kinda looks like a ridged twinkie though.

[violent]

All these things taste exactly the same to me.

I came here looking for greasy fried chicken burgers. Shame!


EDIT: DAMN YOU CAWBLEN!!

[DylonCorp]

Geez, you guys don't even know! Zingers are to Twinkies as Platinum is to Aluminum. The only category Twinkie owns is getting fried, since you can't, or at least probably shouldn't, try to fry a Zinger with the icing still on.

Also, forget the raspberry, which bears a taste of dread coconut. According to the Wikipedia, there is also a "Butterscotch". Sounds Can-ay-dee-en.

We always have chocolate Zingers in our vending machine. I have a package at least once a week. More often when a project nears go-live. :D

[opsin]

Pfft. You can't beat the O.G.


Oh my god! I know all about what a Twinkie is, and such. But that looks hideous! That's supposed to make it look edible? It looks like a bath sponge with some caulk stuck in it!
This is why the Reese's cup is one of the few bits of food to come out of the States that I can go near.

Mmmmmm, Reese's cup.

And I only voted option two 'cause I've heard of them. Never even seen a Twinkie in this country, and avoided them while over there.

I was working at the Montana state fair and they had deep fried hamburgers, I was sick for like 2 weeks.

Sick with love I'm sure.

[Shamrock Jimmy]

It was delicious, but because I work on commission and it made me sick, thus not able to sell as much, it probably cost me like $500.

[LongStepMantis]

The raspberry Zingers are fucking awesome.
The rest of the flavors don't even come close.

These are also enjoyable, but I only buy them because they're Ho-Ho knock-offs. :p

[astranoir]

So in the poll I said "never heard of them," but after someone mentioned raspberry zingers, I recalled reading about them several times in books and thinking they sounded delicious. Does it count if I've only heard of the raspberry ones?

[Rakael]

Don't dig on sweet cakes. I will admit that a little THC and a deep fried Twinkie will make you forget all the bad things in life for about three minutes.

Got about half a box of Zingers in my kitchen right now... A zinger and a glass of milk is a great snack.

[JRR006]

They have them in gas stations and such around here, though I've never seen them at our grocery stores. I don't know that I've ever had one, unless maybe sometime when I was a child!

[BrassGecko]

http://i38.tinypic.com/2vuiy6r.jpg

I'm a dessert snob. I go to one of the best bakeries in the world regularly and usually get something that looks a little like this:

[BrassGecko]

Those are berger cookies, and they are the best things ever. The cookie is like a cross between a shortbread cookie and angel food cake, it's really soft and not very sweet. The chocolate part is basically fudge, and there is at least as much of it as there is cookie part, if not more.

Basically, they are even more awesome than they look.

Apparently they're made by a Baltimore company, maybe that's why I can't find them in PA. I just found their website, and the cookies are made of (http://www.bergercookies.com/nutritional.htm) diabetes and heart failure. And apparently you can order them in 2 pound tins. Hmmm...

[Seconds Out]

Those were my favorite. Havent seen them for years. Want to send some my way?

[n3rdXcore]

I had never heard of Zingers, so I thought this thread was going to be about insults and was then disappointed. :(

[Deunnero]

They go by a different name up here.

[Tayaya]

Xerxes won the thread with the Zebra Cakes. Definitely my all-time favorite snack cake product. Little Debbie rocks, and is dirt-cheap.

Only LD product that's better than a Zebra Cake is a Star Crunch, but I consider it a different category entirely. Same applies to Moon Pies, which are just fan-fucking-tastic in the tasty department. I try not to eat any of these though, since they aren't good for you at all... but damn are they tasty.

Ho-hos have tasted like poop ever since they ditcheed the silver foil wrappers. I don't know why. I think the elimination of the trans-fats hurt the flavor too. Something about ho-hos just makes them awful now.

When I was younger I used to freeze Ding Dongs. First I would nibble off all of the chocolate coating, then I would nibble off all of the chocolate cake, then I would have a small puck of frozen creme filling. Yum!

According to the tubes, the Hostess brand was introduced in 1925, with Twinkies rolling out in 1930 for the first time. Little Debbie was founded in 1960 or very shortly after 1960. Little Debbie is definitely the knock-off as far as that's concerned.

But, in my opinion, they do make tastier snacks these days, because of Hostess' attempts at making their snacks a little less likely to stop your blood from flowing properly.

Maybe little Debbie came out because hostess doesn't have snacks in town.

Absolutely NOT! Are you kidding? Zebra Cakes don't hold a candle to Devil Squares. We would get them both as a kid, and the Zebra Cakes were sloppy seconds. Donut Sticks do rock, though.

[Typical Michael]

Donut sticks remind me of the community pool when I was little, because thats pretty much all the vending machine had in it. I dont eat them much, because without some chlorinated dampness, its not the same.
