Tip Top Bakery and Lucky Cakes

[spamtrap1888]

The CBS news had a feature on "Whoopie Pies," which apparently are
cake disks with frosting in the center that are sweeping the nation.
This immediately reminded me of the chocolate cake with frosting
filling sandwiches of my youth -- treats I yearned for but seldom
obtained.

Anybody else remember these things? "Lucky Cakes" doesn't seem like
the right name, but I can't remember the right ones.

Trader Joe's sells Whoopie Pies, but they were horribly oversweetened
and I didn't like them.

Someone posted a recipie for Lucky Cakes, chocolate cake with white filling:

And here's a blog page about the commercial for the manufactured one:

I don't remember them probably because I've never been a chocolate fan
but it is pretty funny how the things we liked as kids stay in out
memory. There was a packaged raspberry cake roll thingie I just
loved. The pack was about 4 x 3 x 6 and it had three rolls in it.
I'm sure is was total shit but I loved them. I see similar stuff
occasionally but they don't taste the same.

Holy Calories!

I remember those; can't remember what they hell they were called,
though. They were good and I recall my young justifications of "shit,
there's fruit in these fuckers, they gotta be good for ya, no?".

They must have been a regional thing. I can't remember the name
either and I've mentioned them in RFC before and came up blank.
You're the only person I know that remembers them.

I didn't worry about justification back then but I'm sure they were
healthier back then than a similar product would be today. I think
you're right though, back then they actually did have fruit in them.

For what it's worth, the item Lou Decress was talking about was Rasberry
Zingers, I used to like those too.

As far as "Lucky Cakes", I don't remember those at all or even seen one. If
I found the right picture of what one looked like, does not remotely ring a
bell.

I suppose I'm confusing it with something else but at one time (and I think
it was Hostess), had some kind of single-slab of devils food cake with the
mysterous white filling, but they weren't Suzy Q's, since those were in
pairs it looks like. Drawing a total blank on the name.

Ding Dongs (who the fuck named those things?) have a chocolate shell
around them.

wacky times

[Michele]

The 70s man. They were a wacky time. I mean, who comes up with a
chocolate devil's food cake product with a cream center and wrapped in a
chocolate shell, then calls it a Ding Dong?

What's in a name says the man who owns a company called Ripco.

What gets me with this post and a news story they just had on tv, about a
Blackhawks player calling some other player either a "fag" or "faggot", hard
to say because they didn't run the audio and blurred his mouth but whatever
it was got the "social media" LGBT people in a hissy fit.

My point is, what if like Twinkies didn't exist till this year, I mean,
would there be an uproar on the name? You can say it's phallic shaped, soft
and squishy filled with white cream and they are called Twinkies. Obviously
there is some kind of conspiracy or slam with them.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

It's about time the LGBT community give up the word faggot because
in the context where Shaw uttered it he used the pussy
definition not the homosexual definition.

Calling someone a twinkie is kind of a lame insult nowadays. It might
have had impact during the 80s. When Kenji used to call people cunts
that had impact. I wonder who would be offended if Shaw called the
ref a cunt?

[tert in seattle]

yeah, and what about Dum-Dums??

[Michele]

It's a product marketed to kids.

As far as what led you to name the ISP Ripco, I haven't a clue, never
asked. But it's tame compared to a phallic looking foodstuff with a
creme center marketed to kids.

[Michele]

Friend of mine is an Aussie and she uses the word cunt liberally. It's
crept into my vocabulary as a result. Which leads into an obl. Kenji story:

I was telling Kenji about how someone pissed me off, and I referred to
said person as a cunt. He acted all shocked that a female used the word
cunt, then immediately wanted to know why I used it so casually.

At least in the Chicago area, Tip Top Bakeries sold "Lucky Cakes", which were not exactly like a Whoopie Pie but very similar... the cream filling was stiffer than in a Hostess cake, and the cake was denser than a Suzy Q. I grew up buying them when they and all the Hostess 2-pack cakes were 12 cents, which came in just below the threshhold for sales tax in IL then. (Yes, they had sales tax on food. And when the price went to 13 cents there was a penny tax added, so they went up 2 cents to 14.) BTW, the Tip Top Lucky Cakes most definitely did not have any fruit filling in them. None. Dense chocolate cakes with vanilla cream filling, period. And they were GOOD.
