I was delighted recently to find that the 7-Eleven at my bus stop sells Dolly Madison Zingers. I used to eat those for my snack in Kindergarten all the time. Oh, do I love thee, oh holy Zingers. Sometimes, they even have them in the vending machine at work. Gah, wallet shrinks and waistline grows. Dammit. ---

There was a little hot dog place downtown that had the best Philly Cheesesteaks (very, very greasy). But they also served fried Twinkies for a buck. I’d never had one before. It was good. I probably put on 10 lbs. in my 1hr lunchtime whenever I went there (which was not often, because I don’t want to be 400 lbs.). Fried Twinkies are yummy! But who thought of that? ---

What about deep fried Mars Bars? I had one of these while on vacation in Scotland. It was damn good, and it’s probably a good thing I don’t live in Scotland, I’m fat enough as it is. ---

[/QUOTE] FYI, Dolly Madison products are now produced by both Dolly Madison and Hostess. I was surprised to see “Hostess Zingers” in the convenience store recently. Nobody has mentioned my favorite yet. Hostess Apple Pies are good, Ding Dongs are good. My favorite is Suzie Q’s! Two succulent chocolate cake layers with a layer of whipped creamy filling goodness in between. Two pieces of pure heaven! ---

[QUOTE=teela brown] I have to force myself to look the other way if I see a box of Hostess Ho-Ho’s. Those are the ones that look like a miniature buche noel - a little chocolate roll-up cake log with cream filling. I swear they are as good as fancy petits fours from a good bakery. I haven’t tasted one in years, and Og willing, I will continue to keep away from the damned addictive things. Curse you, Hostess! [/QUOTE] Even worse, you could [make your own](http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/02/homemade-devil-dog-ding-dong-or-hostess-cake/). ::drool:: They were Drake’s Yodels when I was a kid. Wrapped in tinfoil, a bit of which would always be left behind in the mad haste to unwrap, lurking, lurking to embed itself in an unsuspecting molar - ARRGHHHH!!! ---

I think I remember Nut Goodies…something like a Payday, but with maple? I was buying shoes the other day and they had candy for sale at the register…I almost bought some Goo Goo Clusters, which I used to buy at the dollar store in packs of four. ---
