The hell is bucket of ribs?! What is that?
I’m also keen on finding this out.
Note: Those “Frosters” things from Tastykake are not found in actual Tastykake country (ie the greater Philadelphia area). I’ve recently moved from Southern NJ and discovered that there are Tastykake products in the Erie, Pa region (like these) that are different brand lines than our normal Tastykakes. I assume they are made to travel farther away. These are very similar to Hostess Zingers, as opposed to the traditional Tastykake Krimpet. Even the fruit pies are different in this area (again, closer to a Hostess style pie).
The sugar free chocolates aren’t new, I’ve been buying them for a couple years now. 🙂
They also make chocolate-covered peanuts, mint patties, and my favorite: dark chocolate disks. All sugar free. (Calories are about the same as non-sugar free chocolates, in case anyone thinks these are a diet food.)
It appears to me it says new “look”, not new product.
It is a new(ish) look, been out a couple months. The previous look was really dated, so good work that they improved it.
I want to try the Tastykake birthday frosters, but probably not enough to pay for them. If I could even find them. TIB should review them. Although, that wouldn’t help me make up my mind. I’m not big on snacks like that. They’re really terrible in general.
