I had to look those up on Google images. I've heard the name before but was never quite sure what, exactly, they were.

You folks sure do have some strange names for things, lol.

Whilst looking through there though, I found this, and had to do a bit of a double-take. Is this a joke product or something?

I don't like anything cake or dessert based, so I'm really not au fait with the brands.

OMG Ho-Ho's!!! No, they're not a joke, they are yummy!! I used to have those pretty often, until they (like all Hostess products) went over a dollar per package (Ho Ho's had 3 inside, most other Hostess things had 2...Cupcakes, Twinkies, Sno-Balls, etc) Now they're about $1.49 where I live (Seattle), too much $$$ for fluff.

Outlet stores FTW!!

And Zingers are Ok, but I preferred the original Hostess "Tiger Tails" (raspberry Twinkies, with a coconut spiraled outside) Can't find them anymore....

Assuming that's not a photoshop, that lady didn't get that way because of sweets. I forget the name of that condition, but notice how her legs are huge, compared to the rest of her? There's a medical reason for that. I knew a woman once who, from the waist up was a total model...but from the waist down she was HUGE (although not this big).

In southern California we have several bakeries that cater to the Hispanic population

One popular brand is:

These seem to be popular:

I've seen those...they're called "Suzy Q's" in my neck of the woods...

And these are called "Ding Dongs"!

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimgsrv.bigcountry100.com%2Fimage%2Fkolv%2FUserFiles%2FImage%2FBob%2Fhostess_ding_dong.jpg&hash=a6d81b9eaddcc502852182c9c29f08a6f8f3d02e)

There's no difference between the flavors...Cupcakes, Ding Dongs, Suzy Q's, Ho Ho's...the chocolate cake, the frosting, the creamy filling...only difference seems to be the thickness and placement of the parts. (Ho Ho's have the thinnest chocolate shell, while the cupcakes have perhaps an excessively thick shell. Suzy Q's don't have any chocolate shell, it's just straight cake and filling)

Drake's was a New England/New York-based baker, which is now owned by Interstate Bakeries Corp, which also owns Hostess.

Does this Drake's product look familiar?
