new snack on the streets of DC, literally

Many apologies to my loyal readers for the recent lag in posting. I have spent many of the last days in seclusion mulling over a new snack that I tried over the weekend, deciding how best to chronicle my journey with this:

CAKESTERS?

Now that name is just silly. It sounds like something I would have come up with. Or perhaps a name I would call someone in a derogatory fashion. And at $4.19 at Giant, I couldn't help but think "Who DOES this snack think it is???"

But then I tasted it, and instead of thinking "what kind of cakester would buy this snack?" I thought, "what would my life have been like had I discovered this SOFT SNACK CAKE sooner???"

It tastes nothing like and oreo and is not as big as you want, but it is so unbelievably sweet and moist you just can't help marvel at the power of processed foods.

ARCHER DANIELS MIDLAND, I salute you and your pursuit of lecithin for all!!!

UPDATE:

This Cakester IS as big as I want!!!

While this photo of a humongous Cakester outside of Union Station in DC is quite awesome, it in no way clears up the WEIRDNESS of the Cakester. I am horrified that SnackManiac was not notified of this media opportunity. But I do think that I want to celebrate my 95th birthday with a Cakester of this magnitude.
