Here is another of Richard Lyons’ 16-millimeter films. This is likely from the 1970s. After doing some online research, the line “You Get a Big Delight in Every Bite” started in the early 1970s. A couple of websites that attracted my attention about Hostess are here and here. I didn’t know there were Hostess ads in comic books!

For some reason the first thing I thought of when I read that was a memory of there being ads in comics for the boxed Hostess products that had baseball cards in them. That would have been the mid 70s, I suppose. (When I was into both.) And hardly the same thing, obviously.
Hi Leona, I have a vague memory of Topps having a whole lot of smallish ‘Hostess Collector’s Sets’ at that time?
As a devoted Muffinist it truely pains me to admit that these gross looking *up*akes tasted absolutely amazing washed down with a big frothy glass of Strawberry Quick.
There’s a Ding Dong™ joke in here somewhere but I’m not touching it.
