Ring Dings
Maybe I'm taking crazy pills but aren't Ring Dings made by Hostess and Ding Dongs by Drakes? Regardless, Ring Dings are the superior cake, and tend be more moist and with a more creamy filling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.136.206.66 (talk) 14:53, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Well I didn't know the other meaning, that is interesting. Ding Dong is also the name of a former tin mine near Penzance in Cornwall in the south west peninsula of the UK.ChrisAngove 22:07, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Calling this article DING DING and not RING DING shows a west-coast US bias
Why is this article called "DING DONG" and not "RING DING"? Is it because of too many Wikipedians being on the left coast? I think this is an example of bias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.24.250 (talk) 07:53, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Ill upload a picture of the dingdong cake and packaging once I get my camera, which should be later today

somehow I seriously doubt that a US television commercial in 1967 would feature a man flailing his penis. considering such an action would get a station fined several million dollars in today's liberal media environment, do you really think that the ultra-conservative 1960's would have permitted such a gross violation of decency laws? That line in the main entry needs to be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gccintl (talk • contribs) 07:01, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Wagon Wheels
The description of this product sounds awfully like Wagon Wheels in the UK, produced by Burton's Biscuits, of Blackpool, Lancashire. This was a schoolyard favourite in the 1950's, 60's and 70's. I lost sight of them for a long period in the 1980's and 1990's, but found that Wagon Wheels were being exported & distributed in Russia in the 1990's. Still tasted good! Could anybody enlighten us on this matter? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.49.194.31 (talk) 08:48, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Ring Dings
The Ding Dong/Ring Ding confusion seems to persist. They are most certainly still marketed as Ring Dings in New England (at least RI, specifically - as of April 2011). It is notable that Ring Dings (along with most other Drake's products) now feature the full Drakes logo/art, and "by Hostess" added underneath, with a reduced-size version of the Hostess logo/art. Overall the packaging still maintains a "Drake's" identity, in the familiar orange, blue and white designs. Marcberm (talk) 04:43, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Vachon reference
Why is there a reference to another company's product on this page? Reads like a pure hijacking attempt. No value to the excerpt whatsoever. It currently reads, "The Ding Dong is similar to other cream-filled cakes, such as Arcade Vachon's Jos. Louis introduced before 1934 and still in production." 71.205.175.33 (talk) 03:12, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
