[quote=desmond][quote=UCGal]My best friend and I have done blind taste tests PROVING that ding dongs in the foil wrappers (the ones sold in boxes) taste better than ding dongs sold in the 2 packs. This taste test was done 25-30 years ago. May need to update the results.
Just saying.
Note to self – a box of ding dongs, foil wrapped, might make a good funny christmas gift for her.[/quote]
UC,
I never saw a ding dong not in a foil wrapper, you might have compared the ding dong to the Hostess chocolate cupcakes that were sold in the two pack? As a kid I loved them all and usually got one packed in a lunch for school. The real treat was when a Hostess Pie was in my lunch.[/quote]
If you buy the 2 pack that’s sold at 7/11 or similar, no foil wrapping. I guess they assume both ding-dongs will be consumed at one time.
Here’s an example of a package that would have foil-free ding dongs (which don’t taste as good.) http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/hostess-ding-dongs-snack-cakes/ID=prod6062379-product
