I was a fan of the Ring Ding...now there was everything...chocolate cake, cream and a chocolate coating, come to think of it same as the Ho-Ho only difference is the Ring Ding is in the shape of a hockey puck...think I burned off the calories afterward...thus the better choice, I feel. :) I, personally, am neither a fan of the Ho-Ho’s or the Twinkies..although I’d make an exception if you kept it as your avatar.

Amongst corn and peas, we grew Twinkies; in fact, the corn and peas were only to divert attention from our real crop. You may not know the effort required to grow Twinkies. In particular, you must grow the casing and the filling in alternating rows, and provide honey bees to get the one into the other. The soil must contain both molasses and lostatin. The first year, we got mostly what are known to growers as "outsiders:" the cream on the outside. Then, the bees get stuck, and won't come back the next year. It was only in the third year that we produced proper Twinkies. Our prize winner was a 17-incher. One of the reasons I started practice first in Oregon is that the Willamette Valley is very fertile.
