Which snack brand is your favorite? Least favorite?

My favorite of the three is Little Debbie. The best Little Debbie products , in my opinion , are the Swiss Rolls , White Chocolate Chip Cake , Honey Buns , The Fudge Sticks...


My least favorite is Hostess. Just a couple years ago, this was my go to brand for sweet treats. Nowadays , not so much. Ever since the company closed and reopened, the treats haven't tasted like they use to. They just taste different and I don't why. My old favorites of this once awesome company are the Suzy - Q's , Chocolate Chip Muffins, And Zinger's.

As for Entenamans, the only product I like are their chocolate chip Muffins


Now that I have told you about my preferences, what are yours?

I'm not really sure...

I'll usually eat the store brands of these sweets since they are similar.

Anyone had Drake's? The popular snack from Seinfeld.

I love Hostess Suzy Q's and cupcakes. But I guess my pick would be Little Debbie. I like the Swiss Cake rolls,Nutty Bars,Strawberry Cake Rolls and the zebra cakes. I usually packed Little Debbie's in my kids lunches.
A funny side note; When my son was about 10 he traded his Little Debbie's for Atari game cartridges from some kid. :lol: I just found out about that! Someone really loved those Little Debbie's!:crazy:

Little Debbie's the worst of the three. After that, it depends on the specific product.

I am a diabetic, I shouldn't be eating any of them so I avoid them for the most part but my answer is Entenmann's.

I am going to drink some ice water now to get that craving out of my mouth...:crazy:

Most of those processed foods are crap. If there's nothing else available you can have them on rare occasions but if you want good cake, go to a bakery.

I try to stay away from this stuff, too. But sometimes I just gotta have a Little Debbie!

Then you'll spend it on health care later.

I don't disagree with that. I have Type 2 Diabetes...:(

I try to avoid processed sugar and eat a healthy diet but sometimes I slip. I am doing a lot better than I used to though.

Inspired by this conversation I am going to fix myself a spinach smoothie! :wave:

I love to have Hostess snacks and my favorite Hostess snacks are Twinkies Cup Cakes and Ding Dongs and my mom's favorite Hostess snack is Zingers and she likes the red Zingers with the coconut pieces and I like the Vanilla Zingers too. In Little Debbie Snacks I love the Banana Twins but they are hard to find and I like the Cosmic Brownies and Zebra Cakes too. I never have had Entenmanns pastries but my mom likes to have hers with coffee

Me, too. I like all of them.

If I were to put them in order, probably Little Debbie, Entenmann's and Hostess.

What are Hostess Suzy Q's? I've seen them at Target and i've always wondered how good they taste. Are they like the Hostess Cup Cakes and would Hostess Suzy Q's be worth trying? Have you also tried Little Debbie's Banana Twins and Chocolate Twins too Penny?

I'm an Entenmann's fan, but they've priced themselves out of the ballpark. Stop & Shop regularly has BOGO sales, so I just wait and stock up a bit. I have a LOT of self discipline and can limit myself to say, one donut with my coffee.

Someone just tipped me off to an Entenmann's Outlet store near my house. They carry all of the popular brands too (Drakes, Hostess, Little Debbie). They say it's day old, but it seems very fresh to me, and the prices are insane cheap! Bring you r own bags! Thomas English muffins for 89 cents ($4.39 in grocery store).

My all time favorite is Drake's Funny Bones. :happyface

I didn't really eat Hostess and Entenmann's in the past, so I couldn't really say which of those companies was my favorite. I loved Little Debbie, however. Their favorites of mine were Oatmeal Creme Pies, Fudge Brownies, Fudge Rounds and Lemon Pies. Sadly, however, that is a part of my life that has been over since September 2012 when I went Gluten Free.

Blecch yecch. Three yucky brands. I vote none of the above. If I must do store bought I say Sara Lee. But in actually I SELDOM eat sweets. And when I do it's usually just a taste.

Exception: home made ice cream. (I'm a mild T2 diabetic and if I'm going to zoom to 225-250 it's going to be for something GOOD - and only on a rare occasion!)

The Hostess brand has been sold to the Smuckers food group. A bit early to see if recipes will be changed, improved or dropped.

On the sweets mentioned here, I probably tasted one or 2 over the years and can only think "sickening sweet"... Sara Lee is a good choice, I used to buy their frozen pumpkin pies...pretty good stuff.


Oh Nuts and I agree, he has good sense. Miss him.

Entenmanns -- They brought back the original chocolate chip cookie that the other people made and they are delicious!!
