Little Debbie vs. Hostess

Wait, do they not make the orange cupcakes anymore?? That's devastating news, if true. I haven't tried to buy one in five years, but I rested assured of the knowledge that I could head to a gas station and pic up a pair anytime. Fuck, those things are good.

 

Someone with more time on their hands than I should do a Hostess vs. Little Debbie tournament.

 

Not completely for sure, but I think they are only around on a seasonal-type basis, like around Halloween/Thanksgiving.

I know I saw them when I was at the Gas-n-Sip earlier today.

 

Little Debbie destroys Hostess, even if you factor out the price difference.

 

You're fucked in the head. And I mean that in the best way possible. Little debbie has oatmeal cream pies and nutty bars. In everything else, hostess rules. The cupcakes alone cancel out oatmeal cream pies and nutty bars. And ho-hos are 10 times better than swiss cake rolls.

Little debbie rules in price, but hostess rules in taste. Every time.

 

Ho-Hos vs. Swiss Cake Rolls is so lopsided in Little Debbie's favor that it's ridiculous.

 

Those snacks are so good, the guitarist in Man or Astro Man took the name Star Crunch in their honor ...

Star Crunch, Oatmeal Creme pies, Nutty Bars ...

Little Debbies rule.

 

Gack! [bill the cat]

 

This may be the most important philosophical thread ever posted on these boards.

I'm almost brought to tears by the frustration caused by trying to decide between my childhood staple -- the aluminum foil wrapped Ding Dong -- and my collegiate savior -- the Star Crunch.

Versatile... You bastard!

 

This thread isn't over until The Big Ragu enters with thoughts from his slovenly youth.

 

Sorry, folks, but Hostess kicks Little Debbie's cute little ass in everything except (maybe) Oatmeal Creme Pies. And, yes, the Hostess Orange cupcakes are a near-orgasmic experience.

 

Drakes needs to be included. Funny Bones, Ring Dings and Devil Dogs, plus a decent fruit pie and coffee cake. Hostess cupcakes were very good, Sno Balls more of an acquired taste and I never liked Twinkies. I don't recall eveen sampling a Little Debbie product. They didn't distribute in my neighborhood.
