Lil Debbie used to be my Lil Whore back in the day. What ever made those dirt cheap snack cakes so delicious and yummy, is no longer in there.
They taste like industrial ooze and lithium grease, everyone of them have this weird greasy texture and after taste. You know that film that stays on the wax paper they come in?
Used to be the condensate cake crust, and was my favorite part of every LDSC, now it's condensed lithium grease, anticoagulant, crap they put in the mix to keep the batter flowing through the pipes. And as the snack cakes gets smaller and smaller, the ratio of the house keeping agents get greater and greater.
Just God Awful stuff, those kids aren't missing anything.

They switched from real sugar to HFC. Sugar leaves no aftertaste since it is broken down immediately by the amylase in saliva. HFC isn't broken down in the mouth; in fact, the only organ that can process HFC is the liver. People who consume lots of HFC actually develop fatty liver disease.
As bad as sugar is, HFC is 100X worse. Avoid that shit like the ebola plague.

“Grief after all is the price we pay for love,” wrote grief therapist David Malham.
Soldiers, sailors, Marines, airmen and coasties alike will soon know the sadness that comes when something beloved is lost. This is in reference, of course, to the news that commissaries will soon no longer stock shelves with Little Debbie snack cakes.
Gone too soon are the nights when a sad sailor on 24-hour duty could pace the aisles and seek solace in a Swiss Roll. And no coastie will ever again indulge in an Oatmeal Creme Pie.
McKee Foods, the maker of Little Debbie snack cakes, has said it can no longer shoulder the burden of providing the sweets to the Defense Commissary Agency and Navy Exchange Service, company spokesman Mike Gloekler told Stars and Stripes. The regulatory standards are simply too costly.
“As supporters of the men and women who serve the United States military this was a very difficult decision for us to make,” he said. “We believe in the mission of forward-deployed troops, and we understand the impact that the comforts of home have on morale. Perhaps some will see an opportunity to streamline federal contractor compliance.”
And while Little Debbie snack cakes will still be sold in off-base grocery stores, the company’s dwindling stock on commissary shelves is sure to be a blow to morale.
For the butter bars who love Nutty Bars, it’s a day of great mourning.
