not the originalsave your money [SEP] i did not purchase these from amazon i actually bought my eight pack hostess brand from food lionsame product now that that is outta the way time to rant first these cakes are not the original suzy q snack cakes the original cakes were made from dark chocolate and they had a rich creamy fully filled layer of cream filling that oozed from all sides secondly the cakes were larger the cake itself was moist yet had a thicker layer of the cake and finally the flavor the original had a spectacular flavor especially if you are a chocolate lover very unique tasty snack cake this crapthis is not a suzy qno where near the original this is simply a milk chocolate sponge cake that is sweet so if all you want to do is stuff your face with something sweet then go buy that crapbut if you are looking for the original suzy q that hostess is marketing as having returned they are lying to the publicbeware and do not purchase i believe i managed to eat three trying to psyche myself because i wasted then i just came to terms with my disappointment and threw the rest in the trash not worth it if i just want something sweet i will just wet my finger and dip into some sugar for those of us that know what an original suzy q is suppose to taste like this is far from it hostess should be ashamed of themselves for capitalizing on the public trust and ripping people off who support the brand and for those who do not know what the original tastes like the company needs to uphold some integrity keep the original recipe and if the economy is the issue slightly raise the price but stay true to the brand they hostess have compromised more than just the product they have lost the support of many past customers i am wondering if the company relocated to mexico like nabisco the chocolate chip ahoy is another disappointment and another story the attached pictures are what the originals look like this is not what you will be getting if you purchase todays fake cakes i went and purchased tasty cake brand yesterdayvery satisfied
