Wow! If Little Debbie's are better then I *never* want to eat a Hostess
product again! Have not had one since I was a kid and didn't like them
then. I did try one Little Debbie thing after my friend told me how
addictively good they were. It was a chocolate peanut butter bar. Not good
to me at all! Tasted like chemicals and fat. Icky fat.
