Since I saw these new Entenmann’s Swiss Rolls I thought it would be a good idea to test them with the winner of the Swiss Roll/Yodel/HoHo battle: the Swiss Roll. I thought it was kind of ballsy for Entenmann’s to name their product Swiss Roll too but they must be lookin’ for a fight with [...]
A few days ago we went to the beach with my sister (Steph) and her family. As you may have notice (maybe not) Steph usually opts out of any taste testing but this time she said she’d partake. Her husband Rick is a fan of junkfood and always up for an evaluation, we [...]
This isn’t the first time Lil’ D and Mrs. F have had a showdown on this blog but it’s hard to count one or the other out since I’ve only evaluated these against each other twice and bot have been a winner and a loser.
I think back about how disgusting it was to have the [...]
Devil Dogs are one of my brother-in-law Rick’s favorite things. When I saw these Little Debbie “Devil Cremes”, I had to bring them up to New Hampshire and have him give his opinion.
What my sister and I never liked about Devil Dogs is how dry the cake is. I found out that Ethan felt the [...]
Hostess cupcakes and all Hostess products were banned from our house because as I’ve mentioned before, my dad thought he was some sort of half-rabbi and didn’t allow brands that weren’t kosher to be consumed. This didn’t make a lot of sense because we didn’t go “all the way” and have separate sets of dishes and get our [...]
I found these Twinkie rip-offs called Gold n’ Cremes at Walgreen’s, who has their own brand of food products called “Cafe W”. My friends Sara and Marc helped out with this evaluation. This was the dessert of our “taste test dinner” which I actually do not recommend. An evening of eating ONLY packaged food is too [...]
When you can’t get to Grandma’s house for a fresh baked apple pie don’t worry, there are a variety of options that are… nothing like a real homemade apple pie, but these brands have taken a swing at a portable, single serving of something they like to call pie. Finding people to try these [...]
Again we have a Little Deb/Mrs. F showdown. This time Mrs. F didn’t even change the name of her product, they’re both “Donut Sticks”. I will admit I went into this a little biased because in the spring and summer of ‘88 I had an addiction to Little D’s Donut Sticks. Even now if I’m [...]
I’ll try to summarize what I found out about these: Basically, Ring Dings were first, Ding Dongs were second but were originally called King Dongs, then King Dons, then Big Wheels. Now they’re Ding Dongs but as I’ve mentioned in a previous post, I can’t keep up with companies buying each other. In the end, Hostess bought [...]
For this taste test I included three items: HoHos, Yodels and Swiss Rolls.
HoHos are made by Hostess and I guess it’s been a while since I’ve eaten this stuff because I didn’t even notice when Hostess bought Drakes. All Drake’s products now include “By Hostess” on the packaging. Since I began buying food for this blog I’ve noticed a lot [...]
