That moment when I open my mouth to make a joke, and think better of it.dotkel50 wrote:YAY!!! Love me some Ding Dongs!
But yes, I agree. Been actively hunting them down - and to no avail. So I finally caved and emailed them from their site and got this news.
Set it up on my calendar for 9/22 (the first official day of fall) to begin the hunt, as I described it.

Re: Never cared about Twinkies...
Hmm... being a 'furriner', I was about to ask what Twinkies and Ding Dongs were, until I realised I could just wiki them. 
Ugh... why does this look like cheapo fish fingers? 
The one thing I know about Twinkies is the famous "Twinkie Defence" court case. (If you haven't heard of it, have a look here and feel free to have a good ol' gut-laugh. You're welcome).
...and now for something completely different. Tawm and dotkel, from reading the description of what a Ding Dong is, it seems to me to be quite similar to a Krembo, a very popular snack in Israel (and now also in Australia, America and Canada - although in those countries, it might only be sold by kosher stores, or it might be in wider circulation too). It's only a little smaller than a Ding Dong, but just as sweet. Anyway, give it a try - you might like it.
