I used to be a Hostess salesman, and I remember selling Choco-Bliss when they came out in the mid-80's. I went to the sales meeting we had before the introduction and won a Phil Simms jersey because I was the only salesman to raise his hand on how many Choco-Bliss I could sell weekly. They were an excellent piece of cake, and not too many people know this, but a Mint-Choco-Bliss was test marketed but didn't make it. It had mint icing in the middle and were actually very good! I miss them too! I used to eat Choco-Bliss and wash them down with a Yoo-Hoo.
Eddie, you're a man after my own heart. I lived on Hostess cupcakes as a kid - 10¢, back then.The mint Choco-Bliss sound - well, blissful. And Yoo-Hoo? I'm with you, totally. Thanks for reminding me - :) PJH
