So apparently the Hostess Chocodile was not just back for the “Summer of Fun”, because as I was searching for this year’s Christmas Crunch cereal (no luck so far), I stumbled across these:

Hostess Chocodile Twinkies
After I read about the return of Chocodiles on Dinosaur Dracula, I became determined to find them. Now I live in Canada, and they most definitely do not sell Chocodiles in Canada, so every time I went on a quest for the Chocodiles I had to drive an hour to Bellingham, WA.
I made 3 trips and checked many, many grocery stores trying to find the elusive Chocodile. I’m not kidding in saying I checked 9 different stores in one trip without success.
Finally, Friday August 22nd (my first search with my awesome new wife for a good luck charm) I found the so elusive Chocodile:

The Revenge of the Hostess Donettes!
In case you haven’t heard, Hostess Snack cakes are back! At least sort of…
So far I have seen Twinkies, Cupcakes (the chocolate variety), Mini-Muffins (chocolate chip and blueberry), and Donettes (powdered sugar and chocolate). No Zingers, Ding-Dongs, Ho-Hos, or Coffee Cakes. And most disappointingly, no Apple Cinnamon or Crunch varieties of Donettes. The official Hostess products page lists a number of other items I have yet to see as well.
All I really want to see are the individual packs of Crunch Donettes. After the initial demise of Hostess I tried a number of imitations of Crunch Donettes, such as Little Debbie and Mrs Freshleys, but they did not taste anything like Hostess.

Hostess Strawberry Cupcakes & 10 days to Walt Disney World! Which is more exciting?
The other day while shopping in Wal-Mart I was excited to find these:
Hostess Strawberry Cup Cakes Now that I look at the photo I’m doubting my ability to spell cupcakes. I’ve always thought it was “cupcakes”, but that box clearly shows “cup cakes”. No matter how you spell it the taste of these sucks. Hostess products never taste that great to begin with, I think it’s more the nostalgia factor that causes me to purchase them more than anything else. I had high hopes that strawberry cupcakes would taste ok, but they don’t. They smell very strongly of fake strawberry, almost like some horrible perfume. And I failed to taste even the smallest similarity to the strawberry flavor that Hostess used and a real strawberry.
Much more exciting is the fact that in 10 days I will be in Walt Disney World in Florida! I went there last year shortly after I had lung surgery and had a lot of fun. This time I will stay for longer and I won’t be still recovering and I will have even more fun. I’m even heading to Universal for one day to check out the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Here are some photos from last year’s trip:
I’ll share some pictures from this years trip when I get back!
