I just found tatsykakes for sale on ebay

[mad-mommy]

Buy it now for $6.00 and shipping another $6.00. You must have to really like them to pay that much, and wait several days to get them, hopefully not too stale. Hubby just said they only sell them here in PA. Do you think I found my new stay at home job? LOL.

1. I have to ask ...

what are tatsykakes?
(on edit: I googled. I should have realized you meant tastykakes)


A regional thing I'm guessing?

[mad-mommy]

5. now I have to kill my husband for being wrong!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

7. I've even seen them in NYC.

I really like the Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes.

[mad-mommy]

8. Those are my fav...

it must be regional...should I let him live?

[LostinVA]

15. I grew up on 'em in NJ

[AlCzervik]

9. you can buy them online directly from tastykakes.

https://www.tastykake.com/ProductBrowse.aspx yes i've done it before and they were fresh and non-squished.

[mad-mommy]

10. I just cracked up when I saw that on ebay...

and then remembering someone who worked a vending route, and would drop off the day old stuff at my old workplace. Everyone was gaining weight.

[AlCzervik]

11. i'm surpised ebay lets food be sold on their site, thats the reason

i gave you the link--don't want you getting some bad moogumba from old snacks off ebay.

[mad-mommy]

12. ya, I'm thinking maybe someone works at a...

tastykake plant. My brother worked at a few food plants, was allowed to take some things home, food that was edible, but didn't pass inspection because of flaws. But people were doing that and taking it to outdoor flea/farmer's markets and selling them.

13. We have them in Maryland too.

Not a bad snackcake.

[LostinVA]

14. They sell them all over the Mid0Atlantic and upper South

I grew up in NJ -- you could get them there.

I have to go to Fredericksburg to get pies, but everything else is available in Central VA.

The SO is from NC, and when we first met, she was Little Debbie this, Little Debbie that. I was like, LB sucks. Try some real snack cakes. Her first ever was a Koffeekake... followed shortly by a Poundcake, then a Chocolate Junior... then a peach pie. The next day she had a real cheesesteak, just to round out the experience.

She gets it now.

19. Little Debbie Blows. Can you say "aftertaste" ??

[LostinVA]

24. I can - ewwwww

Little Debbies are like Yugos, while Tastykakes are MWs....

[LibDemAlways]

16. They've been available on and off in California.

Haven't seen them for awile, though. Damn those butterscotch krimpets are good.

[bertha katzenengel]

17. tastykakes are for sale here in MD - i know because i made the mistake

of having one. they are the poorest excuse for cellophane wrapped cake-type treats i've ever had. they're worse than little debbie.

[GalleryGod]

18. Welcome to the 1/10 of 1 % who've ever tried them.

BTW...the Little Debbie smear was over the line.

[smtpgirl]

22. Little Debbie SUCKS

Too much sugar, although haven't had a snack cake in 10 years, TastyKake was the best of the bunch

[Bossy Monkey]

20. Many Tastykake products are for sale here in SC, but the pies are only

seldom seen. The pies unfortunately were all I liked. I think you can order from Tastykake directly though, and bypass eBay. Back in the day, it was said that they were also very popular down in Florida; never checked to see if this was true, though.

Edit: Here's the order page at Tastykake; they don't seem to have the pies either: https://www.tastykake.com/ProductBrowse.aspx

21. IMO. TastyKake was in Philly originally!!

The ONLY Tasty Kakes worth buying are the:

Kandy Kakes
Coconut Juniors
Pumpkin Pies
Butterscotch/Jelly Krimpets

From a MD native, Tasty Kakes are here, DEFINITELY better than Hostess, Little Debbie, Mrs. Freshley's

23. I know what you mean.

One year, I came back east to visit family and friends. I ended up taking Tastykakes back to California with me. Later that same year, my sister-in-law sent us some for Christmas. Since she workd in a candy factory, she would also send us bags of licorice. At the time, I knew nothing about the Tastykake online ordering system.
