As I contemplated my lunch options for today, my thoughts naturally drifted towards foods from yesteryears, those tantalizing treats that have mysteriously disappeared from the shelves of our modern supermarkets. In this moment of culinary nostalgia, I found myself yearning for something that seems elusive these days - the Hostess Pudding Pie. The mere thought of its delicious vanilla filling nestled within a chocolate crust was enough to make my mouth water, and I couldn't help but wish for one right now.

Alas, my quest for this delectable snack proved futile, for all I could locate were the chocolate ones, leaving my craving for the vanilla variety unsatisfied. It was in this moment of longing that I sought solace in watching an old commercial for Hostess Pudding Pies, playing it on a loop. I couldn't help but feel a pang of regret for taking these delightful treats for granted in the past, realizing only now how much they meant to me.

If you're a fan of Hostess Pudding Pies, you might find yourself grappling with a similar conundrum. Are you content with the chocolate version, or do you, like me, yearn for the days of variety when the vanilla filling was readily available? Of course, we can't forget about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed Pudding Pies, a whole different realm of nostalgic snacking.

Remember when Mickey Mouse decided to commit suicide?
Unless you lived in the 1930s or are a fan of vintage comic strips you might not be aware of the attempted Mickey Mouse suicide.
