re: What’s the best Little Debbie snack?

I made it to the end of the first page before deciding that there can't be one that isn't on the same level of excellence as all the others.

Back in the 1980s I was senior quality engineer for Baxter Laboratories in Mt. Home, AR. Our ASQC section for northwest Arkansas met in Springfield, Arkansas. Somewhere in that area was a Little Debbie factory and one month, the QC Manager spoke to our meeting. He said some interesting things. I don't remember exact numbers so I won't make up any, but I was shocked at how many cakes they made each week. He said employees could eat all of the cakes they wanted, that they had a big display table in each break area, well stocked with everything they made. He said the employees actually didn't eat many - that they got burned out after a few weeks.

He said that employees could recommend a new product and if it hit, they got a bonus. He said many of the big time stuff came about as employee suggestions.

The best part of the meeting was the 30 or 40 cases of Little Debbie cakes he brought. Said we had to take them because he did not want to take them back out to his car from the restaurant where we met.

I think I took 5 cases of stuff with me when I left that night. I was our two son's hero for a couple of weeks.

I did a couple of presentations for meetings, but I never brought any Fenwal Blood Bags, or IV sets with me. I did take a capillary flow dialyzer and a blood cell separator, for one presentation but could not give any away.

1. Zebra Rolls
2. Other

Growing up in Houston we didn’t have Hubigs, just Hostess or whatever (though my older siblings are probably talking about Hubigs when they get nostalgic about the fried pies they had as kids).

I didn’t know fried pies were a southern thing, but that’s what Wiki says: LINK

I was a fan of the Boston Creme Rolls.

Strawberry shortcake roll

I'll go with my good luck fishing sandwich

Salami sandwich with a large Star Crunch on it. Don't knock it till you try it. Fish start damn near jumping in the boat.

Nutty Bars by a lot.

There are two rolled up ones. Are those the ones with the jelly in them or the ones with the chocolate coating? I'll frick up the ones with the jelly, but the chocolate ones are just meh.

Also, did you guys know this exists? I've never seen them. Turtle brownies.
