Ho-Hos vs. Ding Dongs

[Maleficent13]

Same snack cake, different shape

or

Completely different snack cakes?

 

[NY Disney fan]

What about Ring Dings?

 

[Lintasare]

Completely different. The chocolate coating is a different texture on both. On the Ho Ho it's kinda crumbly and gets everywhere, on the Ding Dong it sticks to the cake. The cake part also has a different taste and texture.

I am a Hostess connoisseur. I know my Ding Dongs and Ho-Hos.

 

[Evil Genius]

Same thing. Ring dings aren't made by Hostess are they?

 

[stinkerbelle's mom]

mmm, I love ho-hos!

 

[esulerzy]

Different snack cakes....

Ho-Hos rule; Ding Dongs droll Especially when you place the Ho-Hos in the fridge or freezer

 

[jbmom]

Totally different. I love ho-hos, ding dongs not so much.

 

[JoyG]

I love ring dings! I just bought a box of them last night! Ho Ho's don't do it for me.

Not to ruin a perfectly good thread but I recall eating my last Ring Ding when I couldn't get the grease off my hands with a 1/2 bottle of Dawn dishwashing lotion. That's when I knew I was eating something strange.

Ho Ho's are more cake like while ring dings have a crisp chocolate coating. BTW, I hate both...give me some Orange cupcakes

Are "Ring Dings" and "Ding Dongs" the same product? I've never heard of Ring Dings.

I just ate two Ding Dongs and have no greasy residue on my hands.

 

[Crankyshank]

I'm a Drake's girl. It's ring dings for me. The rest are just imposters

 

[Maleficent13]

Google provides the answer:

Ring Dings are made by Drake, not Hostess, and are therefore ineligible in this poll.

 

[Jack-Jack]

are you contemplating purloining one and replacing it with the other?

oh my bad...I said ring dings when I obviously meant ding dongs

[sumrmist]

Ive never heard of ring dings. I buy Ding Dong's at the bread store and they never last for long. No Ho Ho's for me.

 

[disney4us2002]

I always thought Ho Ho's and Ding Dongs were the same thing. We're cheap however and buy the Little Debbie version of Ho Ho's and get two in the pack instead of one Ho Ho.

Of all of the snack cakes my favorite is Devil Dogs - no chocolate coating and the filling is the best!!!!

 

[Hercules10]

Talking about Ho-Ho's and not one Spitzer comment yet?

(well...NOW there is)

 

[poohandwendy]

Totally different animal.

Ding Dongs have a much higher cake to filling ratio. HoHos have a pretty even distribution of cake/filling.
