The Last Ring Ding
January 4, 2013 by Bill Newcott
Everybody was all upset about the passing of Twinkies when the Hostess baking company went belly-up late last year. But who will mourn the Drake’s Ring Ding?
I will. Everyone knows Twinkies will return after the bankruptcy proceedings are through. But no one is betting on anyone resurrecting the Ring Ding (Or Ding Dong, or King Don—aliases by which Ring Dings were sold over the years).
I made my final box of Ring Dings last as long as I could, but inevitably my supply was all but exhausted. Join me for this bit of history as the Last Ring Ding has its last fling.
