In the episode where George wears a very inflated looking, gortex coat he complains about having to take wine to a party. He suggests he should take a bottle of Pepsi , after all he prefers it to wine. He also claims to like ring dings and I was just wandering what they were? It's the same episode in which Jerry loses his vomiting streak after eating a black and white cookie (look to the cookie, Elaine.) Well on a visit to New York this year I tried a b/w cookie, just out of curiosity and I thought it was awful, though I didn't throw up (thinking back, the very thought of it makes me slightly nauseous.)

I did quite like those coffee cakes with the cinnamon on them, though I can't remember their name. They were I an episode in which Newman asks Jerry to get him some in return for a favour. Anyone remember the exact scenario and the episode title?

Finally, does Kenny Rogers chicken actually exist as a food chain?

So it would seem. It appears to be a "wholly owned subsidiary of Nathan�s Famous, Inc. (NASDAQ: NATH). Nathan�s Famous is known for its world-renownedfrankfurters and French fries, which were first introduced in Coney Island, New York in 1916."

They're a chocolate snack cake with white creamy filling, made by Drake's. I've never seen 'em, since here in the Midwest we have the similar Ding Dongs made by Hostess (makers of the "Twinkie").

Here's a comparison: http://snacks.cyberpunks.org/tastetest.html

Hard to believe, but yes it's a real chain: http://www.nathansfamous.com/rogers/

It's the Drakes _Coffee_ Cake that is coveted and discussed, not the chocolate snack.

And yes, Kenny Rogers Roasters is a real restaurant chain. Good enough, slightly pricey. Legend has it, it's the wood that makes it good. No broccoli dipped in chocolate sauce on the menu though, I was bummed.

I believe Ring Dings are called Ding Dongs in some places (Like where I'm from...) They're kinda like a Chocolate-cake-with-creamy-filling-coated-in-a-chocolate-shell type of snack food...made by Hostess or something...

Andy(atuc.com), knows the food, not the name...

...for simply having this discussion. This is the sort of thing I want to see more of in this newsgroup. Picking apart the mindane is something we should strive for. Jerry would want it that way.

Toblerone, eh? I dunno; they're too... *chewy* or something.
