I loved these when I was a kid. I ate one somewhat recently and I swear it gave me three cavities instantly.

That's another question... When and why did they change the name...?

Ring Ding / Ding Dong conflict[edit]
Drake's Ring Dings
The company marketed the snacks on the East Coast as Big Wheels, to avoid confusion with the Ring Ding, a similar and pre-existing treat by Drake's Cakes. The names were consolidated in 1987, when a short-lived merger of Drake's with Hostess' parent company (then Continental Baking Company) briefly resolved the Ring Ding/Ding Dong conflict. When the merged company broke up, however, Hostess was once again forced to cease using the Ding Dongs name in areas where Ring Dings were available. The compromise sound-alike name King Dons lasted until Interstate Bakeries Corporation, which had recently merged with Hostess' parent company, bought Drake's in 1998. The Hostess product was then sold under the name Ding Dongs throughout the United States, although it was still sold as King Don in Canada.

They changed the name to King Dons so they would sell better down in the plantation South.

Every damn time I see a Ding Dong, I always think of Weird Al's "Fat" video:
Ding dongs man, ding dongs. Ding dongs, yo....
Ding dongs man, ding dongs. Ding dongs, yo....

Swiss Rolls or those chocolate squares with the white icing and tiny choc chips. Both are Little Debbie.

Back in college I ate a ton of the raspberry and coconut Twinkie lookalike things known as Zingers. My then 20 yr old self's 30 inch waist was completely unaffected by junk food.
