That would require an extra step. What good would a convenience food be if you couldn't eat it right out of the wrapper? Crazy

Seriously though, the proportions of cake to cream are off. I may have to try it with Zingers. But then I would be supporting Hostess' decision not to make them. Nope, fark the man! Mad

Seriously? Have we reached that level that peeling off the chocolate is too much work? Stick Out Tongue

BTW, it will probably peel off in one big piece as that's how I used to eat the Hostess Cupcakes. Blush

Me too. That is how I know the cake to cream ratio is off. Harhar

The old recipe Burger King Chicken Nuggets
Oh definitely this!

When I quit eating meat, I would still try to be normal once in a blue moon. That included always eating bacon, and on occasion eating Burger King chicken nuggets. It was the only chicken nugget I would still eat. Sadwalk

Then I started to branch out a bit and came to like their chicken fries. Those are discontinued now too. Instead they have fancy new chicken tenders which are horrible, hard, and not good at all. Weeping

My friend was complaining about this exact topic yesterday when we were at burger king, enjoying bacon sundaes. Yet another thing that'll probably be gone before you know it.

You have to keep asking at the stores if they are going to get anymore.

A couple of Christmases ago I found some chocolate covered pomegranate drops at Costco. I bought 3 bags and gave one to my sister, one to my brother and kept one for myself. When mine were all gone I looked for more only to find out they were a seasonal item. Frown So I asked a few more times if they were ever bringing them back...I guess several people had asked and now they carry them year-round as does Sam's club from what my mom tells me.
laugh out loud I had a bag left over.. and on my road trip here I gave a bag of them to my mom when I stopped in Missouri...shortly after that she was asking if I could get more. So I went to Costco and mailed some to her. Now he Sam's club has them.

Ever order from them? I am wondering because they list one price on the main page, and a complete different, higher price on the product page.

I'm surprised Leaf is back. My uncle sold their products back in the 70's. He always had Whoppers (malted milk balls), Jolly Ranchers, etc. in his garage and would occasionally give us some free samples. yummy But Leaf sold all of their product line to Hershey back in 90's. I guess they're trying to come up with a new product line. Dontknow

I never liked the Astro Pops because one of the three flavors on the pops is pineapple. The other two flavors on it (passion fruit and cherry) are yummy though.

I had a Cold nightmare last night. I was walking down an aisle in a store and saw several boxes of Devil's Food Twinkies. I picked up a few and headed to the register. They came up "item not found". They eventually determined they were stale and would not sell them to me. Ranting
