The Twinkie / Ding Dong Mashup You Gotta Get
We’ve seen mashups in music and cookie – so why not snack cakes?
If your guilty pleasure is to shove Twinkies AND Ding Dongs in your face at the same time, life just got a little easier . . .
Hostess is selling a new Twinkie / Ding Dong MASH-UP. The inside is like a Twinkie, and the outside is covered in Ding Dong fudge.
They’ve already been spotted at Walmart. They’re being rolled out nationwide this month.
They’re a Walmart-only thing for now, but NOT a “limited-time only” thing. Hostess says they’ll be a permanent addition to their snack line-up. Although this isn’t the first time they’ve teamed up – remember this commercial?
The way the word “Mashups” is printed on the box also makes it seem like it’s the first of several mashups they could be working on.
Other snacks in their line-up they could mash up include: Ho Hos . . . Zingers . . . SnoBalls . . . Donettes . . . Honey Buns . . . Coffee Cakes . . . and those Hostess Cupcakes with the white swirl on the top.
What Detroit snacks could we combine? Can you make a Faygo Bumpy Cake? (now we’re getting creative)
And if you’re looking to drink your calories – you can do that too. Have you tried a Twinkie Iced Latte?
Why eat dessert when you can just drink it? Hostess is taking its brand to the next level by debuting Hostess inspired ready-to-drink flavored lattes.
Per Best Products, the bottled beverage comes in different Hostess flavors, including Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Honey Bun, and Sno Ball. They also add that the flavors are dead-on: “Just like the actual snack cakes, the Twinkies drink brings classic golden sponge cake flavor with creamy notes, the Ding Dongs drink is packed with rich chocolate flavors and vanilla tones, the Honey Bun one has a honey flavor, and the Sno Balls bottle combines coconut and sweet chocolate cake flavors. It’s truly like your favorite treat has transformed into an iced latte!”
