Once every few years a sacrifice is made and it's my pancreas sacrificeing itself so I can over load my system with 8 oatmeal cream pies as a "treat"

I still enjoy these things occasionally, but yeah.

I don't know about all that, I had a Swiss roll a few weeks ago for the first time in a couple years and it totally fucking holds up.

Last Christmas I found 4 boxes of Zebra cakes on sale for fifty cents each, but they expired a week prior. I take no pride in what happened.

As I walk down the aisles I point at things and say "Not food. Not food. Not food!" #notfood

I agree with other sediments here that all of this is disgusting except for nutty buddies. They are not part of the disgusting stack of synthetic tasting garbage.

Nothing worse than feeling fat but not full.

nutty buddies, oatmeal creams and strawberry rolls are a perfectly cromulent sometimes treat.

i still love oatmeal cream pies ngl.

Pecan spinwheels still hold up but most of it just tastes like sugar and plastic

I didn't eat most of these by adulthood. I don't even eat much real cake or pie to be honest. But I will always like cosmic brownies.

I will still fuck up some twinkies and zebra cakes

When I was a kid I LOVED oatmeal creampies. Now that I'm an adult I still love creampies, just not the oatmeal ones.

Ha! I'm still young then.

All of that shit has always been disgusting to me, even as a kid. The only exception (and its not even in this picture) are those little debbie brownies. They had those at my school cafeteria and they were good and rich. Hell those are still good IMO. Terrible for you though.

I'm trying to quit soda (or pop) once and for all (1 week strong) and everything in this photo makes me want to vomit.

I will eat toasted Poptarts once in a while, but I think I enjoy the aroma more then the taste.

I can't and I don't anymore. My sweet treat is frozen blueberries with 2% milk, nuts, and cinnamon.

Nothing in this picture is worth getting fat over. And, it all tastes so fake once you start paying attention. Yes, disgusting.

I tried twinkies because of zombieland.

Major disappointment.

A lot of the US stuff really is an acquired taste. If you didn't grow up with it, there's a fair chance it won't work for you.

Never heard of any of the products in this picture, except I've heard of Twinkies but only because of Zombieland guy that was obsessed with them. I'd probably try one if you gave me one for free, just to see if it was any good.

None of it looks very appetising though tbh. I like real food not this fake american shit

When I was little Zebra cakes were my jam. I tried them again a few years ago, and they did not hold up

I can only handle the nutty buddy.

I thought those little debby Swiss roles were disgusting when I was a kid.

I loved all of the hostess stuff but I haven’t bought any in over a decade because fuck Union busters.

I wouldn't say disgusting but definitely not as good as one remembers them to be. I don't know if that is your palette getting more nuanced and things getting more shitty.

Yes, all of that stuff is awful... until you eat a gummy, then it becomes your life force.

Always has been 🧑‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀

Ho hos / swiss rolls / ding dongs hold up

someone gave me a twinkie on halloween... wow.... not sure if it's enshittification or nostalgia but goddamn, greasy as fuck flavorless foam snack jfc

Yeah, they taste like sadness. You think they are going to be rich and flavorful but they are mostly bland and overly sugary.

Idk if my memory is fucked up or if they were better as a kid.

I look at these like chips ahoy cookies. They were once pure unadulterated treats not unlike what you would make at home but without the hassle. Over time they altered the recipe slightly. Many many times. And now chips ahoy cookies raste like sweetened cardboard with little tiny bits of what would be the minimum standard of what could be called chocolate. Ill still eat em if theyre in the house. But i know there are far better cookies to be had.

The oatmeal cream pies are probably the only things there that I still have some appreciation for, but even then I gotta scoop out like half the filling. Nutty buddies used to be a favorite of mine, but then I discovered good peanut butter.

Yeah, in retrospect, I really do think a lotta these have cheaped out and reduced quality.
