Am I remembering correctly? I think for a while - for some strange reason - Ding Dongs were called King Dons. Does anyone else remember that? How odd. I wonder why.

They were. See the history I posted.
I, myself, and more familiar with Ring Dings, which were produced by a competing bakery: Drake's. They also made those chocolate hot dog bun shaped things, that had cream in the middle. What were they called...?

Ding Dongs Рenrobed with chocolate coating, with rich and majestic cr̬me filling, you can't help but feel like royalty when you bite into one. In fact, when they were first introduced, they were actually called King Dons in some parts of the country (and Big Wheels in some regions)

Duh!! Having eaten my share of Ding Dongs and (King Dons) when I was younger (for some reason they don't appeal to me anymore), I skipped right over the history! So, "rich, majestic and royalty" were the reasons for such a ridiculous name. Huh.
Are Drakes produced all over the country or mostly on the East Coast? I've heard of them, but I think Hostess is more predominate in the midwest. Hostess also made (or makes) a chocolate hot-dog shaped cream in the center thing - but I can't for the life of me remember what they're called.

LOL!! Oh, yeah, Dairy Queen! The only fast-food restaurant we've seen the boys at! I remember Ennis digging into his onion rings in the car and sharing with Ellery! :)
Thanks - Marie
