I think I always managed to talk mom in to one box of Twinkies a year. I must have done better in 1978 because I have 18 cards, so that's 6 boxes! Or maybe I bought them myself... who knows. I think I'd puke eating a single Twinkie now, last one I had was a bite of a deep fried one at the rodeo... ugh, horrible.
Scary story: we would go to one of our friend's houses so we could eat that stuff. They had it everywhere. Unfortunately, both of my friend's parents later died at a young age (health related). I can't help but make the connection.
1993, Hostess issues cards with it's Baseballs cupcakes. (If you never saw them, they look like this http://vrijspel.tk/uploads/hostess-baseballs---1993-94814.jpg) That box had 6 cards inside. Well I worked in a town with a Hostess Discount Store. They discounted all the product, some of it was fresh, some stale. I ate the fresh stuff and the stale went to the ducks in the local pond. It's a wonder I didn't become diabetic. Those things were awfully sweet.
If anyone needs any of those cards, I have a bunch to trade and some full sets.

My mom would never buy that stuff either.

King Dons were my weekness. Mine looked like a typical 9 year old art project with Lefty scissors. Very butchered up.
Holy Cow! Those are all ANGELS on that ad! I....MUST....HAVE.....IT.
Now I want a package of Zingers.
I lived it. Ding Dongs and HoHos were my favorites. I still have a bunch of the cards in panels.
I wish they had done this in 1990. I could have had all the '90 Donruss cards I ever wanted.
Oh, wait. I can still do that for free.
Little known fact: Every wax box is made of '90 D0nruss cards.
My brother and I would go through all the boxes looking for players. It didn't matter what was in the box.
