Omigod...Zingers and Twinkies are now owned by the same company? Anyway...red raspberry Zingers are a delightful alternative to the 'Twinkie Question'.

Raspberry Zingers always frightened me a bit, just looking at them. They were ok, just I don't know.. something about them.

I was a Choc-O-Gel girl. Little Debbie. They were huge when I was kid - tiny things now. I don't eat them anymore. But I do put strawberry jam on a warm brownie and top it with vanilla ice cream. Sometimes.

Edit: I swear they were called Choc-O-Gels. Anyone else remember?

Coconut, marshmallow, cake, filling. That's a lot of sugary sugarful sugars.
A friend of mine in high school bit into one of those at lunch one day and a white spider crawled out of the filling. I haven't eaten packaged cakes since *shudder* And I was a Twinkie-and-Coke-every-day-for-lunch kinda girl.

Oh my Lord. I'd have died. Or puked. I would have had to go home for the day for sure. I love it - Twinkie and Coke every day. I was a Hot Fries and Diet Coke for lunch every day girl. I still love Hot Fries.

I remember these. My Mom packed them in my lunch every day. I think you're right about the name.....Choc-O-Gels sounds familiar.

I knew there was a reason I never eat coconut......

.....and when I saw "spider" in conjunction with something coconut......I got huge horrible goosebumps just imagining that scene.

I'd, have puked and passed out if I had seen that.......oh, how I hate a spider.......
