Review (1/5): NOT THE ORIGINAL...SAVE YOUR MONEY!
I did not purchase these from Amazon, I actually bought my eight pack Hostess Brand from Food Lion...same product. Now that THAT'S outta the way, time to rant. First, these cakes are NOT the original Suzy Q snack cakes. The original cakes were made from "dark" chocolate and they had a rich, creamy, fully filled layer of cream filling that oozed from all sides. Secondly, the cakes were larger. The cake itself was moist yet had a thicker layer of the cake. And Finally, THE FLAVOR! The original had a spectacular flavor especially if you're a chocolate lover. Very unique tasty snack cake. THIS CRAP!....THIS IS NOT A SUZY Q...NO WHERE NEAR THE ORIGINAL. THIS IS SIMPLY A "MILK" CHOCOLATE SPONGE CAKE THAT IS SWEET. So if all you want to do is stuff your face with something sweet, then go buy that crap...but if you're looking for the original Suzy Q that Hostess is marketing as having "returned", they are lying to the public...beware and don't purchase! I believe I managed to eat three, trying to psyche myself because I wasted $3.79. Then I just came to terms with my disappointment and threw the rest in the trash. Not worth it. If I just want something "sweet" I'll just wet my finger and dip into some sugar. For those of us that know what an original Suzy Q is suppose to taste like, this is far from it. Hostess should be ashamed of themselves for capitalizing on the public trust and ripping people off who support the brand and for those who do not know what the original tastes like. The company needs to uphold some integrity. Keep the original recipe and if the economy is the issue, slightly raise the price, but stay true to the brand. They (Hostess) have compromised more than just the product. They have lost the support of many past customers. I'm wondering if the company relocated to Mexico like Nabisco. The Chocolate Chip Ahoy is another disappointment and another story. The attached pictures are what the "originals" look like; this is NOT what you'll be getting if you purchase today's FAKE CAKES. I went and purchased Tasty Cake brand yesterday....very satisfied.
