Me - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
Hostess cupcakes are now about half the size they used to be, and are in a pack of 1 instead of 2. It tasted like some bizarre cardboard slime sugar puff–hardly chocolate at all. The cream filling had a strange snot-like consistancy. The icing on top was dry, crumbly, and less than half as thick as it used to be. Left a terrible taste in my mouth. Gross all around. Will never buy again.

What happened to these? Do I just remember them being better than they really are or do they just suck? Ate one and felt like I ate a brick. HARD PASS.

These cupcakes are great, but every time I have them recently, they look expired. The squiggly white frosting is now a light brown, something that was present when I accidentally bought cupcakes that were already expired once I ate them! Please fix this!

What happened to my favorite cakes??? Instead of the size of a cupcake, they are now just the size of a cupcake top. Very disappointed.
