And they didn’t bring back the Drake’s brand.
I always thought that their oatmeal cookies and coffee cakes were THE BEST.
Absolutely better than any other ones I’ve ever add, and yes Entenmann’s and my dear departed mother in law, this includes you for the coffee cake.
And the oatmeal cookies were just great, not so hard like they often are but not so soft as to be mushy.
We got Mrs. Field’s (I think) cookies at work from a client, they were so soft they tasted like they weren’t cooked. They’d probably be good if you could put then in the over for a few minutes.
I always preferred Drake’s in my adolescent years.
Who bought the rights to it when Hostess went belly up?
When the original Hostess went Chapter 7, various brands and recipes were sold to multiple organizations.
Looks like Drakes is still in business, just not my Hostess LLC:
That was my thought also. The heck with Hostess. What happened to Drakes? Drakes had a much better taste than Hostess. Drakes was Ring Dings, Yodels, Funnybones, Yankee Doodles, those great little coffee cakes and those neat little pies (better than most other brands) and of course Devil Dogs.
We used to have a thrift shop down the block, used to buy ring dings and freeze them. And nothing else tastes like them.
