<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nI love when brands team up with whatever children\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s movie that was recently released on the big screen or on DVD to create a product like the Hostess\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 B.O.B Cakes. Usually when this happens, snack food companies create some minimal variation of a tried and true product to make kids pull at their mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s apron strings<\/strike> mom jeans and beg for them.<\/p>\n
Hostess B.O.B. Cakes follow that formula exactly. Basically, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a Sno Ball with different packaging and in a different color; it even admits that on the box. However, I fell for it. No, it wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t because I loved Seth Rogen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s character in Monsters vs. Aliens<\/i>. I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even see it. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s simply because this was a blue Sno Ball; a blue ball, if you will, and I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t pass up buying a product clearly marketed towards children that would be tarnished by the dirty mind of a 22-year-old female with the sense of humor of a 12-year-old boy.<\/p>\n
I have to give props to Hostess (and Drake\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s who was captured by the corporate clutches of Hostess…that greedy yet tasty bitch) for the lovely names they gave their snacks back in the day. Apparently there was a time when asking for a HoHo got you a chocolate cream snack cake instead of a venereal disease-ridden woman who wears lime green booty shorts everyday because they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the lucky shorts she wore when she tested 30 men to see if any of them were the father of her baby on Maury<\/i> (Spoiler alert: none of them were). During that same time period, saying you were craving a Ding Dong didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean you were jonesing to go to that new Asian gay bar.<\/p>\n
