"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Just had some here in FL. The taste difference between them and the vanilla version is subtle - they didn't use enough banana flavoring.
Too bad, really. Never cared for the vanilla version - too bland. And these are too. My wife, who tolerates bland better than I, didn't care for them either. Never had one, of either flavor, deep fried. Not excited enough about the prospect to exert the effort.
In short, you're not missing anything.
..am not a Twinkie fan, but the return of the banana was better than the nondescript "white" filling..in my opinion.
However, all the Debbies and Twinkies and their like cannot beat the now famous Whoopie Pie which made this woman/homemaker an example of a very successful "cottage industry". Mainers grew up on this treat.
Don't even compare to a "Debbie".
