Okay -drove the marauder to the store and saw on the shelves both Hostess cupcakes and Ho Ho's!!!!!! Man I was pumped when I saw them:banana:

Bought a box of each and then took them home. Grabbed a Ho Ho and what the heck!!!! Who shrunk them???????

Could not believe how small they are making them now. They tasted good but when you only get two bites it is very disappointing.

Anything to make a buck nowadays.

Makes you feel like a giant when you're holding them!
The 7 oz Bud "nips" work good like that too! LOL

Don't charge more money - make things smaller. That's why a pound of coffee isn't anymore!

As well as cutting most of their work force, they also shrink the product! Its a new marketing strategy! its so they can "remain competitive" LMAO

you know they say "sweetest comeback ever" on the package. . .

it's good to see them back but. . .

I'd rather see a new Marauder, that would be the "sweetest comeback ever" to me

If they kept them the original size, it would cut into the profits for the top people at the new company, and they wouldn't be able to keep Wall Street happy.

Wall Street should be torched. ALL of it.

When was the last time anyone remember being able to buy a true half gallon of ice cream?

What store? Been searching for them, but have only found the cupcakes and twinkies.

I found the ho ho's at a local food chain store called Berkots. Hope that helps you:beer:

Also the other day I went and bought a large box of cereal (myself and 2 growing boys!) and I went to open it and I swear half the box was empty!:eek:

It was crazy how big the box was compared to the product. If I had known that I would not have purchased it and will not in the future. This new food strategy to me is just a zero sum game and eventually people will quit buying your products.

I wonder what they will come up with next? :rolleyes:

Oh MAN.....I love me some SUSY Q's!!!! :banana:

By the way they made the ho ho's you will probably have to buy two boxes of Q's and then work on stackin them (like Pancakes) -to get enough:D

For a second I thought this thread was about an encounter at The Dream Cruise.
