Serious stuff, here. I can't decide which of these otherwise potentially interchangeable (taste/texture-wise, that is) products has the better name: Ho-Hos or Ding-Dongs. I used to be solidly on the Ho-Ho side but this morning, I was jonesing for some chocolate (NOTHING to do with my mother being here, no stress eating or anything like that, uh-uh) and all 7-11 had was Ding-Dongs. And really, it's just fun to say, "These Ding-Dongs are mine" and "I had two Ding-Dongs" for breakfast.
I like Ho-Hos.
I like Ding-Dongs.
Hm. I think I'm leaning toward the double Ds. Thoughts?
(And yeah... it's been a looooong week.)

You crack me up! I'm w/ you - I like the sound of ding dongs better. But then again if you want to abbreviate ho-ho's you can always say ho's and that's an entirely new meaning. "I had me some ho's this morning" or "I'm going to get me some ho's" - well, doesn't quite sound the same coming from a woman.
So much to work with in this post.
Before I start swinging at the softballs you lobbed up there, I'll ask this question: Did you see the episode of 30 Rock where Jack proved to be a "stress eater" thanks to his mom's visit? Classic.
Hands down, that's the best show on TV -- and I'm not just saying that because I have a thing for Tina Fey. (OK, well...maybe that's PART of the reason I say that.)
Now...as for those softballs...
* The last time I "leaned toward the Double-D's" the dancer took my $20 and I got thrown out of the bar.
* "All 7-11 had was Ding-Dongs"? Really? You're telling me the entire store was empty save for a few shelves filled with Ding Dongs?
* "I like Ding-Dongs"...heh heh heh.
* As for your "question", the obvious answer is neither: the kreme-filled Tastykakes trump both the Ho-Hos and the Ding-Dongs.
Maybe I'll try throwing that out during a meeting: I gotta get me some ho's. I'll let you know how that works out.
And no, I don't watch 30 Rock (and I don't want any lectures from Mr. I Don't Watch Any Movies, Ever). As for the softballs: I figured you'd take the double D's setup (and for the record, our 7-11 doesn't sell Juggs, either); and not exactly, but I did get to have a fun exchange with the clerk ("you're out of ho-ho's? how can you let that happen?"); and yuck re: the tastykakes. No accounting for taste...
Swiss Cakes Rolls rule supreme! Where are you from, New Jersey?
I was always told Boys like Ho-ho's, girls like Ding-Dongs.
It's a given that boys like the ho-ho's. It's the first step on the inevitable path to Hooters. Which Tom, of course, only likes because of their chicken wings. He swears it, honest.
As someone who grew up within a 60-mile radius of Philadelphia, Tastykakes have to be the winner...hands down.
C'mon, everybody sing..."Wouldn't you like a cake as tasty as a tastykake?"
Anyway, why don't people understand that Hooters actually does serve good wings. I mean, seriously, I'd go in there for the wings even if...
Damn...I almost got through that with a straight face.
