I have not seen raspberry Zingers in Hermiston OR area for months to a year, finally found some at the local Safeway! I bought 2 boxes and upon opening them they look burnt and taste burnt. Total bummer since it is the best product Hostess offers! Best by April 28, lot # k [protected] 043 03 : 24 I ate a few but the burnt taste over powers the great taste of raspberry.

I purchased a box of Hostess Ice Vanilla zingers today on March 14th 2023 and half of them are rock hard like they dried out like the packaging got screwed up the box was fine not damaged at all the packaging was all fine but half of them were rock hard I purchased these at Machenthun's grocery store in Waconia Minnesota. I would include a picture, but you can't tell by looking at them. Thank you

I've had it with these donuts! Every package is different ranging from dried out, stale, mushy, smashed, no donut hole, etc. Good donuts are far and few between. It seems to me that all these donuts should be the same it the same recipe is being used for all donuts but that is not the case. I have thrown away many packages because they were inedible. Your price keeps going up but your quality keeps going down. Don't you have any quality control for your products? This is unacceptable!

Purchased Zingers from my local grocery store March 3, 2023 and per the box they are still within the "best by" date for freshness of March 15, 2023. The code under this is J123024000 364 23:40

They were stale to taste and far less coconut on them. Inconsistent coconut coverage on the Zingers within this box. I was very disappointed as these are my favorite Hostess snack cake going back to my childhood. It's sad when the quality of a product is sacrificed on such a recognized brand and this is not good for the Hostess name.

0N 03/07/2023 AT 9:33 AM AT The Dollar General 600 Rahut Streets Burlington NC 27217. I Brought a box of zingers. The Has The date of March 13 2023. The Box Is Mixed With old zingers. They're hard and nasty. The Chocolate on the top of some of them is smashed and the chocolate on top seems to be a very different color. Grand-daughter and found a that the chocolate was hard and very hard to bit. This has never happened before I love these zingers but this box was not good

I purchased a box of vanilla iced zingers at a Dollar General on Cottage Ave in Bloomington IL 61701 on Sunday March 5th 2023. They are very hard and just disgusting. This is the 3rd box of hostess cakes I have purchased from this particular DG that was so hard. I definitely will not be buying this product again. I have attached a picture of the codes and numbers on the box. They aren’t even outdated so not sure why they are so hard. Thank you

I purchased a box of the hostess snoballs from Ingels grocery store in granite fall nc and when I opened the box about half of the individual cakes were not sealed and they were hard and had to be thrown away ,they cost to much to buy and have to throw them away for people living on a fixed income it's not like we can just run out and buy more any time we want to. They are in date and the bar code is [protected] 3 these are my favorites but I would like to been able to eat them.

I buy a box of ding dongs at least once a week for a year now. I opened my new box to find these cakes were smaller than last week AND there was no cream in them. I bought them March 1 at a Tampa Walmart on Nebraska Ave. Best sell date 4/03/2023 # k [protected]:50. Bar code 8. [protected]. 1. I have enjoyed many of your cakes at least 55 years but the ding dongs fits my taste buds the most.

The complaint I have is the box of 10 had 4 extremely stale cakes in the box. They were so hard and gummy, I couldn’t believe it. The last one in the box is the worst. It very hard and the icing is a strange caramel color or beige. I will try to get a photo of it.

The box nor the cake have a production code or a best used by date. I’ve been a little nauseous but not too sick.

These were purchased at the Dollar Store in town.

Today at marathon in Louisville KY, I have been obsessed over these chocolate chip muffin sticks since they first came out. But here lately you can see a huge difference. Sometimes they are really light colored like they are undercooked, but they are very moist! Or like today when I bought them, they were really really dark colored brown like they are overcooked! They tasted overcooked, burnt tasting. Not moist at all And just a different overall taste, that was not very good. These are my favorite snack and as expensive as they are I would expect them to be delicious EVERYTIME.

Feb.27th 2023 i bought a box of hohos from publics, giving hostess a second chance after the last box i bought from publix was dry, i MEAN dry, needed a gallon of milk to wash it down, and again DRY, DRY, DRY, thats it Little debbies from now on . worst reputation is word of mouth, and im giving a ear full. VERY DISAPOINTED in Hostess. sell by date is 03/31/23. [protected]..27

I bought a box of zingers from Walmart in lompoc ca. When I opened the box the zingers looked old the chocolate was hard. This isn't the first time it's happened alot of times. The date it happened was 2/25/23. Says best if used by April 4th 2023. They didn't taste good at all. The barcode number is [protected]. I unfortunately don't have a receipt I accidentally threw it away of course I want expecting this to happen.

I bought this box of HoHOs because that is a main bedtime snack that my family has have had for the longest time now,and I'm not sure how or why but there is absolutely no filling in any one package of the snacks.im sure you could imagine my disappointment in this! I would hate to have to stop buying hostess products because this is an absolute disappointment and I'm truly hoping that this issue can be resolved as soon as possible.we would greatly appreciate it.

Purchased 2.23.23 from target. These donuts are extremely dry and I must say tasteless. I checked the date the it hasn't expired or close to the date but boy did it taste like it. Because I don't have a vehicle I can't take them back. So stuck with dry tasteless but stale tasting donuts. Very disappointed in this bag of donuts...sad face. I sent a picture, it even looks dry sorry to say that

Long time Zingers and cupcakes fan and was always satisfied with your products until this current box of Zingers bought last week at Walmart. Cake and frosting tastes dry. The frosting does not completely cover the top of the cake and, on some cakes not on the top at all but partially on the sides if at all.

Where is your quality control?

I love these little cakes but am disappointed at the quality of this box.

The first week of February I purchased a box of raspberries zingers from hostess it was purchased at Dollar general in Mexico Missouri. When I open the box I open a package and it looked to be very very Brown I've never seen them that dark with a hardly any coconut on the top of them at all and they tasted like I was chewing a piece of rubber and absolutely had no taste but disgust. I open several packages thinking that it might just be one but it was the whole box very disgusting and inedible I have eaten these things for 50 years and just don't want to try anymore because it just went my image of the raspberry zinger I will enclose pictures and I would like my money back even though I don't keep receipts I do have pictures of the box and the zingers and they are disgusting and I would like a refund or a coupon to replace them. one tasted funny when looking at the product I noticed it was molded open the second pack it was also molded I was very grossed out knowing I ate a molded Twinkie.

We buy these at Sam's Club. They come 2 boxes. Several of the cakes in both boxes had little or no streusel topping.

Husband threw away before I could take pictures of them.

I bought a box of 10 raspberry Zingers from Kroger and all 10 were dried out and burnt. This is my favorite treat from Hostess followed by Ding Dongs because they are always so moist and delicious. That was definitely not the case this time. They really are inedible... I thought about giving them away to coworkers but decided they are just too awful to give away.

I bought a box of Raspberry Zingers yesterday from Jim's IGA in Ishpeming, MI. Out of 10 cakes there was 2 with little cream in them and the rest no cream at all. Very disappointed. We buy your product all the time which isn't cheap because we love Hostess. I will submit photos of the box and cakes. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. You can contact me by phone or email.

This product states 3 pieces per pack. However, only 2 pieces were in the pkgs.

In the photo, you will see 2 spots where the bouncers we're placed & a 3rd empty spot. After eating the last PKG, 2 pieces, I looked at the PKG and thought there should be 3 pieces in each PKG, and read that yes, there should be 3 pieces. So, I'm informing you of the incorrect packaging.

the Infovon the pkg is:
