So ironically just came back from the dollar tree with a double whammy of chocolate Hostess and Lil' Debbies. Both has expirations well into next month so...A concerning about what these little waxy fucks are made of and B both were fresh.

Did first bite of each with a little milk to wash it down then a 30 second submerged test. While the Hostess had a slightly more consistent chocolate coating, LD were more sticky to the fingers and a bit more melty so messier, the taste clearly went with the Debs. Especially for after taste when all those delicious chemicals flood your senses. So fresh donuts around here are $1.59 each and there is about 3 donuts in each bag for $2.50 I think I have found the solid choice when not getting a piping fresh one as a treat.
