Actually, when I think of ring dings, I think of something more liken to the hostess "ding dong" then the "cupcake". Just what pops into my head though, I don;t know if ring dings actually exist or not.

Ring Dings most certainly do exist! They are the same as ding dongs just a little larger. They are made by Drake I believe. Wow look at that another reference to Drake (as in the Drake man, the Drakester). Coincidence or not???

Bobka is great I love it. Espicially the Chocolate. The cinnamon is not as good but will do if there is no chocolate. Whenever I am in NYC I always get a chocolate bobka and it is usually gone in a few days. And my family always brings Chocolate Bobka to someones house when we go there for dinner. It is the thing to do.

Tonights show was ok. It was very predictable though. Everyone that I watched it with were saying the lines before Jerry, George, K-Man, or Lainy could say them. Kind of obvious about the golf ball in the whales blow hole.

Ring Dings are exactly like Ding Dongs - miniature hockey pucks of (definitely non-dairy) "creme"-filled chocolate cake with a chocolate coating.

I think it's probably because kids are the ones who eat them (mostly), and mostly in groups with other kids. Since I'm only 25, I remember being a painfully shy little kid who was terribly embarassed to say the word *Ding Dong*. ( In Arkansas, where I grew up, that word was a kid euphemism for male genitals). The bully-types would moan and writhe in feigned sexual ecstasy when the little girls began to unwrap their Ding Dongs. I am not suggesting that Hostess changed the name to save shy kids from being embarassed by their lunch but I bet some execs at Hostess finally clued in to reality and realized what' "Ding Dong" means in kidspeak. But King Don wasn't a great choice either.

chocolate babka just weighs about 2 pounds more per slice than regular babka (which has cheese in it).

bon apetite...

Phew... i'm glad I am not the only one! :)

I *have* heard of "ring dings" before, but I think it must be something regional, since i've certainly never SEEN one.

BUT, I have absolutley, positivly NEVER heard of a "babka" !

Those of you who THINK they know Ring Dings probably don't. Ring Dings originally came one to a pack, and were about 50% (in diameter) larger than they are now.

Drakes also made "Creme Cups", sort of like inverted cupcakes (larger on the bottom).

Wow I thought it must be a NYC thing...this Babka. Help someone clue us in!!! Is it a Greek food??? Swimfin Shharrk

Hey out here in CA we don't have a clue about Ring Dings. They sound like great junk food! Somebody tell Drakes to send some out here.
