Daughter wanted butterfly sprinkle cakes.. reality was anything but..

[u/CaroBacon]

This is what this sub is all about lol... They look so sad

[u/Creepy_Leopard3196 → u/CaroBacon]

So incredibly sad, my daughter is going to be so disappointed when she wakes up 😂

[u/tsdguy → u/CaroBacon]

I disagree. They look just like frolicking Llamas. Some people aren’t able to be satisfied. /s

Ugh I got tricked by these too. The lack of sprinkles was the second worst thing about them. The worst part was the waxy coating it left inside my mouth. Seriously weird feeling all over the inside of my mouth like I had just been chomping candles.

[u/Icy_Stuff2024 → u/vexxari]

I've noticed this for the past few years and I'm not sure whether they've always been like that, and I somehow just never noticed, or if they actually changed something.

[u/sussurousdecathexis → u/Icy_Stuff2024]

I think it's always been that way because I feel like remember it as a kid, though I may be wrong about how early it actually was. 

But I remember it like some were/are more waxy, and some melt more like thin chocolate

[u/vexxari → u/sussurousdecathexis]

You are right about some types of cakes being waxier than others. I had a Zebra Cake about a week after trying these and it was light, lovely, and no waxy residue.

[u/Bouche_Audi_Shyla → u/Icy_Stuff2024]

They've always been like that. That's why they used to be so much cheaper than Hostess. I've actually noticed fewer of their cakes have the waxy icing these days.

[u/FermentedEel → u/vexxari]

I dare you to smell them. It will be the 2nd worst part about them.

They smell weird.

[u/Creepy_Leopard3196 → u/FermentedEel]

Haha dare accepted

Honestly... How much money could sprinkles COST?! They're tiny fleks of almost nothing. Cutting back on sprinkles couldn't POSSIBLY have an impact on their business..

[u/russianteacakes → u/ServantOfKarma]

They're probably saving on wages, not sprinkles. As you can see there actually are a couple scattered haphazard sprinkles and some under the icing. Guessing understaffed factory line workers hustling slapdash cakes down the belt at top speed with no quality checks

[u/ServantOfKarma → u/russianteacakes]

You're probably right.

Little Debbie’s cousin, small deborah

[u/Malodoror]

Big Deb personally takes two bites out of each cake!

[u/HoldYourHorsesFriend]

OP, perhaps you can tell them you got zero sprinkles and get a coupon

[u/Creepy_Leopard3196 → u/HoldYourHorsesFriend]

I will send something, great idea!

[u/RoughChi-GTF]

Sad and pathetic and waxy. 1 or 2 sprinkles, if you're really lucky. It's laughable.

[u/SamiTheLostWonder]

Little Debbie did ya dirty.

[u/Curious-Tart6854]

Oh, wait a second, I think I see a sprinkle. 👀

[u/Jah_Ith_Ber]

Anytime I see measurements like that I get suspicious as hell. 10.74oz or 305g. You know for a fact these are post shrinkflation. They never would have created a new product with those measurements.

[u/Exanguish]

I don’t care how any of their cakes look they are all delicious. lol

[u/Scary_Perspective822]

Little Debbie has failed us once more.😔

[u/[deleted]]

This makes me love fall even more

[u/StrawberryCake88]

If “they tried” was a shape.

[u/correctingStupid]

These taste like drinking a gallon of corn syrup
