They used to have little chocolate covered donuts that has a topknot
swirl of the white "cream" filling under the chocolate. Six to a pack,
as I recall - that is how small they were. I *loved* those things.

One of their bakeries was in or near Detroit and they took customer
complaints very seriously back in the ancient times. A neighbor's mom
wrote them that she had gotten a pack of those donuts and the cream
filling was missing on two donuts. Someone from Hostess arrived with
a huge case of the things. We neighborhood kids feasted for days.
