Snack Cake QOTD
    Question Of The Day

    Major Spoilers Question of the Day: Sponch Edition

    Matthew PetersonBy 3 Comments1 Min Read

    Over the last couple of years, entirely by accident, I have developed a love for Sponch, a strawberry/coconut/marshmallow cookie that you can only buy in the Dillons on the Spanish-speaking side of town.  It’s one of the best snack cakes I’ve ever had, with sweetness and crunch and a nice mouth-feel, whatever that means.  It has actually eclipsed my previous favorite, the raspberry Zinger, which lost it’s place when Hostess disappeared and the new company for some reason changed the formula, leading to today’s baked query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) would go with a nice fudge-dipped Twinkie, if they weren’t so messy and 17 billion calories, asking: What’s your favorite snack cake ala Sponch?

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

      I hate to pull an “in the old days,” but I used to love the simple Hostess Chocolate CupCake®. Last one I had was 15 or 20 years ago and it tasted like corn syrup, which is why it was the last. So it might count?

      In my old age, I just eat the darkest, most bitter chocolate and nothing more. It matches the drapes of my soul.
