jstewart,
Just to clarify, I don't think we have Drakes, so I voted for the Hostess equivalent.

Hoping this doesn't throw off your numbers,

Isn't Hostess like Twinkies? What else is Hostess? Snowballs?

any pastry poll like this which doesnt have honey buns is a travesty.

I agree but I'm not aware of the existence of Drake's honey buns.

tehn i think a more open ended pastry poll would have been a better idea.

this is tough. it's like choosing which of one's children will stay alive. only the children are pastries.

yodels all the way.

I always found Funny Bones gross for some reason. The other ones are outstanding though.

Yodels win.

Look at how the boxes line up. It's nice. We don't need any hostess logos [censored] it up.

The presentation of Yankee Doodles is quite poor, IMO. I picked Ring Dings but I've never had Funny Bones, actually.

The presentation of Yankee Doodles is exactly the same as the Sunny Doodles. But since they are black, they are quite poor , IMO. I picked Ring Dings but I've never had Funny Bones, actually.

If forced to eat one it would be the coffee cakes. None of them look that good (or tasted based on the couple I had).

I've never seen Drake's pasteries before but the yodels would be my favorite because they look the same as a ho-ho.

Yeah I finally got that fixed once we could do name changes.

And Honey Buns is where it's at. All the time back in HS we used to smoke up behind the school then go steal Honey Buns from the gas station...good times.

There are equivalents for basically everything you've listed. It would be tiresome to paste them all:

http://www.twinkies.com/images/box_dingdongs.jpg

I think we can all agree that these are not equivalent due to the frosting component, but the are included because of deliciousness.

I could never really go for the Drake's stuff becuase I always found the cake was so dry. Of the choices funny bones is my #1.

Drake's is gay.

Tastykake is superior

Most worthwhile poll in the last few months. Funnybones rule.

While I grew up with both here in NJ, I have to say that Tastykakes>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Drakes. Perhaps there should be an Entenmann's poll, too.

My wife's family has never heard of Drakes, and looks at me cockeyed if I ever call a DingDong a RingDing.

I'll be home for Christmas, though. And you can bet there will be Devil Dogs in my near future.

I had forgotten about Funny Bones. I'll probably sample those as well, for old times' sake.

(I'll be freezing them, too. That's how we used to eat them when I was a kid. My mother would buy a bunch when they were on sale, and stow them in the huge freezer she had in the cellar. We'd sneak some out, and never wait for them to thaw.)

Entenmenn's is different then Hostess/Tasty and Drakes.

I actually wrote a 2 page report on the ranking the top 10 of this genre before. Shocker I know.

Who are the other players? Hostess and Little Debbie are the only other two I can think of.

You covered it, really. I don't want to count Freihoffers, they tried to be an Entemenns and a Drakes. Also Little Debbie is stretching it, just because it's really crappy.

Man, now I want a box of entemenns cookies and some milk. [censored].

They have a few good products, but their cake and cookie lines are indeed vile. This thread is making me drool.

My company offers free snacks and cakes and stuff in all of their offices. Here in NYC, they have Frito Lay and Little Debbie chip and cake/cookie products, respectively. I went down to our Princeton office a couple of months ago, and they have Tastycake products. Probably the best two days I've had in my 9 years with this company. I ate the [censored] out of the PB Kandykakes and mini donuts.

Is it Freihoffers who makes the boxes of 6 doughnuts? 2 frosted, 2 cinnamon, 2 plain? Those are fantastic.

Easily the best donut ever made.

TME: Yes, brown box. Decent donuts.
