Foo - Twinkie, Ding Dong, Ho Ho or Snowball?

Which one is the worst? And by worst I mean the best.

Ho Ho FTW!

Need a "None of the above" category. Plain old fat-ass redneck food. Disgusting.

I selected twinkie ... but only in how well it holds together when thrown as a projectile.

Ding Dongs have their own song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPrnduGtgmc

Sno-balls are on the buffet in Hell.
They had their chance.

Where is the true winner, Hostess cream filled chocolate cupcake, in all this. All the others don't have a Snowball's chance in hell of winning....

Suxy-Q's are missing on the list, my fav.

The only one from that list I've ever eaten was a Snowball, which I really only like for the sake of nostalgia.

Sez Mr. Fancypants.

Y'all need to note the correct spelling.

My wife went running around the neighborhood when she heard Hostess was shutting down. Her haul:

Ho-Hos. I used to peel the chocolate off and eat the rest after unrolling them.

I can honestly say, I have neven eaten any of the above.

And I can honestly say, your life is poorer for neven eaten of the industrial manna that is Hostess. They were to Big Agriculture like the cherubim is to the Heavenly Host.

Plus the stuff was totally archival. A Ho Ho's half life is like more than the Jurassic.

50 miles on chocolate cupcakes yesterday.

I like Twinkies and DingDongs but my favorites are the cupcakes.

I'm sure that means I'm destined to become a person of Walmart.

Ding Dongs are like the chocolate cupcakes, wrapped with chocolate.
WINNING!

Sno Balls! The answer is always Sno Balls.

I do feel deprived but I grew up in a family of bakery owners.
There was never a shortage of baked goods.

jdon... ahsposo isn't talking about baked goods.
Hostess products may have similar characteristics, but they reside in a class all their own. Like maybe Splenda, powdered milk; except Hostess products actually taste good.

Boy, if I was a few pounds lighter, I would get up off the couch and chase you down for that.

Those overly sweet fruit pies may be the only thing edible made (past tense) by hostess....and even then, edible is subject to discussion.

Oh hell no. Everything including their fruit pies are \ were disgusting.

Man I bet these things are da' bomb deep fried :)

The summer county fair will not be the same without deep fried Hostess products. :(

Fruit flavored pies FTW. However, I don't recommend the cherry. While tasty, it looks like blood when you hurl it up.

Yes, they are. Freeze, then batter, then deep fry.

None of the above. Susie-Q's are my weakness.

These (apple version only) and the individual bear claws were far and away the best. Funny bones were pretty decent though too. And the donettes (especially the crunch flavored ones) were ok as well. All horrible for you, but I've surfed a few vending machines in my younger days and have the extra 40 pounds around my waist as evidence of that (and also some poor fast food choices when I was younger).

You dis the deep-fried twinkie?!?

A plump large guy at work was pale,hyperventilating and ready to pass out.
I held a Hostess Twinkie under his nose till EMS arrived and was credited with saving his life.

Hold your horses it seems they're going to arbitration. Maybe after they saw the prices of Twinkies on eBay...

Maybe eBay will form a major piece of their distribution in the New Order.

Think of all the highly skilled labor out in the streets of Ohio if the Hostess factory closes.

"labour"for our Canucker Hostess factories

You're both from the South, where they fry green beans for God's sake. :P Don't knock fried junk food until you've tried it!

That fried Twinkie is missing a dousing of chocolate syrup, BTW.

I love the apple fruit pies. Oh man, I haven't had one in forever. Now I want one and don't think I can find 'em anymore :(

I didn't realize until right now how much I'm going to miss those college visits to the Hostess Bakery Thrift Store (that my now wife and I used to call the Used Bread Store) for cheap, unhealthful Hostess treats and lots of cheap bread (sometimes you could get it for like 6 loaves for a dollar) to go feed the ducks in the river that wound through our university. Actually did that the night we got engaged (the duck feeding, had gone to get the bread the day before).

We used to go to one of those when I was a kid, entered a contest and won $5 of merchandise, men five bucks in the "used bread store" was a ton of stuff, we ate like pigs for weeks, had to freeze some of the stuff to make it last.

I've seen fried green tomatoes, and fried pickles.
I aint never seen a fried green bean.

I liked the original tin foil wrapping on Ho Ho's; easier to unwrap, the new sealed ones.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? No Devil Dogs?

Devil Dogs, Yankee Doodles and Swiss Rolls are Drakes not Hostess so you're still safe.

I've only seen that in veggie tempura as part of a bento box at a sushi place, but then I'm a northerner.

But I'm pretty sure Hostess owns/makes Drakes, so those are all gone too, right?
