The Hostess Ho Ho and Happy Ho – Proud names, proud snacking traditions

Hostess Ho Hos are still out there. If there’s one product name that could have been pushed to obscurity by the rise of the hip hop nation, it’s this one. But no, the “tubular snack” persists, as “elegantly enrobed in delectable confectionary coating” as ever.

And then there’s the Ding Dong. (With Ashton Kutcher pranking Ted Turner.)

Here’s a 1971 Hostess Ho Ho commercial with animated character, “Happy Ho.”
