... but Ding Dongs were the shiznit! And with the return of Twinkies, I have been eagerly checking for Ding Dongs... and no luck! Decided to write the Hostess folks and got this email today...

That moment when I open my mouth to make a joke, and think better of it.
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.

I was looking for a new quote. I think I found it.

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.
