Ding Dongs 03.02.2009 11:30PM When you're knee deep in shit, I mean thesis, you'll find anyway to escape the madness even if its just for a few minutes. Today in studio the topic of Ding Dongs came up. Get your mind out of the gutter, the Hostess variety. I brought up the fact that for some time they were known as King Dons. Not everybody involved in the conversation believed me, so I went to the only source that could solve the problem, not my inside source at Hostess, but rather Wikipedia. Duh. Much to my delight, the Wikipedia entry for Ding Dong may be the funniest Wikipedia entry ever. Go ahead, check it out yourself. For full effect you must read the entry aloud. Ding Dongs, Big Wheels, King Dons and all the madness of the mergers. Who knew? But the real gem from the entry is the fact that Hostess created characters to market the product. You've got King Ding Dong, King Don, and of course, Chief Big Wheels. Because what better way to honor Native Americans than through a Ding Dong dressed as an Indian. I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did. Check out Last Month 03.01.2009 12:00AM Check out last month at Beavers and Ducks, while you wait for a new post for March.
