Every so often, one must indulge in some form of little debbie or dolly madison snack cake/cookie/brownie/donut...

just to remember why you never liked them in the first place.

About the only snacky cakes I can stand are nutty bars and star crunch (aka chocolate-covered sin). Most of the actual cakey cakes are nasty nast.

I will admit to a shameful fondness of cosmic brownies (no, I don't know why. I theorize they spike them with something addictive), and those knock-off rice crispie treats that are technicoloured according to season. And sometimes, oatmeal creme pies...

Alas, none of these is available in the vending machine here. (actually, this is probably a good thing)

The vending machine I was adducted to at my previous employer was the ice cream one.

we're not that lucky here. one coke machine, one standard snack machine with not a terribly enticing selection. ~125 people.

My workplace was a call centre with about 1200 people at the most and we had, 2 Coke machines, 2 pepsi machines [one bottles, one cans]; 5 snack machines and the ice cream machine.

My father used to LOVE the ones that are peanut butter and chocolate and kind of crunchy. Though he called them 'Little Debbie Gibson cakes' ... which dates me as well as bringing forth the horrible truth that I listened to Debbie Gibson. :)

Or that your father desired to eat her.

I have kind of a love/hate relationship with these things. They're so readily available and inexpensive, and if I'm hungry, I want to believe they might resemble regular baked goods in their ability to make me feel sustained.

Usually, though, I end up choking down what tastes like spun sugar and lard and feeling kind of gross afterward. Ugh.

This is not to say I won't partake here and there. Devil Squares make me happy once in a while, and I've been known to get random things out of the vendo, or eat stuff when Joe brings it home.

choking down what tastes like spun sugar

And this is why when I feel the urge to eat the things, I either get myself a pixie stix or cotton candy. That way I can face up front that I'm just eating solid sugar. And do it without the fat content. Thus saving the fat content part of my diet for things that actually taste good. :)

I dated a guy who tried to live off of Little Debbie, ramen and poptarts. Not a big fan of any of them.

And he'd only buy the cheapest (and probably oldest) little debbie he could have.

Some are okay in small doses, but having that take up more room than fresh fruit in the shopping cart is wrong.

I spent a year in college on the Little Debbie meal plan. There were nights when I'd come home from the co-op job, eat a pack of Zebra Cakes, and then go call 3 hours of basketball.

I still like them entirely too much, too.
