I voted Ring Dings ! They were the ones I remember my Mom buying , so I guess it was because my siblings and I preferred them to Ding Dongs! ;)

I voted for Ding Dongs

Ding Dongs were one of the many highlights of my childhood. I loved them :)

I voted Ding Dongs, but I'm sure I would have enjoyed the knock-off brand. (We typically had Dreamies (fake Twinkies), Swiss Rolls (fake Ho Hos), Zingers (fake Suzy Qs), etc.)

Rings Dings. Although they are in season now, I enjoy Hostess Scary Cakes.

Except Ring Dings came first…..

Ring Dings – Rings Dings are made by Drake’s who has been producing baked goods since 1896. However, Ring Dings did not come to the market until 1958

Ding Dongs –These snack cakes have been made since 1967 with a brief hiatus during the Hostess bankruptcy in 2012-2013.

More proof that Michael Lembeck probably ate Ring Dings more than Ding Dongs . Being he was 10 when Ring Dings came out and 19 when Ding dongs were invented!;):cool::D

We mainly had Tasty Kake baked treats though ! A Philadelphia based brand of little cakes and pies! ;)

The jingle used to go " So much fun to put in your tummy, so much fun to put in your tummy , "Tasty Kake cakes and pies ";)

They really are good. Seemed to taste more natural not as preservative filled or something ! The pies are great ! They don't have all the sugar coating on the outside like Hostess does !! ;)Still being made back east, mainly Philly / Jersey area but hard to find nationwide !!:confused:

Most of you may not believe this, but I have never even heard of "RING DINGS"

I guess I have had a sheltered life :lol:

To say the least I voted for Hostess Ding Dongs.

No you didn't, I never heard of Ring Dings either.

I didn't eat any of this stuff growing up, mother baked all the sugar stuff...they were good/bad enough. Kept our 2 dentists in town busy.

My mom and I used to enjoy Ding Dongs and we would always buy two boxes of them because one box was Mom's and the other box was mine but it wasn't until we watched The Closer reruns that we liked them even more like Kyra Sedwick's character did but then Hostess changed the taste of Ding Dongs and we quit buying them. I have never ever eaten Ring Dings because my stores don't sell them and are Ring Dings worth buying for their taste?

Drakes also has done Ring Ding Juniors (which Bonnie had pointed out elsewhere)


https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d4/cb/4d/d4cb4de761790375904c8be92a4b2ed1.jpg

while Hostess went the other direction and did King Dons (maybe they were smart enough to realize that King Dongs might get giggles from certain portions of society)

How cool !! Did you buy them in a store or online ? Years ago out here I could randomly find TastyKakes , once in a while maybe one flavor not the whole line at a store ! Than just a few years ago Food 4 Less had a couple flavors of the pies for a while , I was delighted ! :)( Now of course my local Food 4 Less closed down) ! :(

I found TastyKake online , the whole line of them at a site called the "Pennsylvania store " ! I am going to order the pies maybe some cakes too ! ;):happyface

OMG ! I originally thought Theda Bara had posted this ! :crazy: That's what got me so surprised that she found some TastyKakes, she lives out here in Orange County ! Your latest Valerie avatar reminds me of Theda's advatars ! :)

So that makes more sense , a Philly brand product in NY ,not all the way out here !;) But like I said they did randomly, sparingly sell them out here sometimes! ;)

Voted Ding Dongs since I've never had a Ring Ding, growing up my mom always bought Hostess snacks - Ding Dongs, Ho Hos, Twinkies, Susie Qs, Cupcakes, and their little pies.

So tonight I did a Ring Ding and a Ding Dong at the same time. And the winner is……Ring Dings. Seemed a bit thicker, with a more solid chocolate coating.

Also had tastier sodium aluminum phosphate. Yum.
