AND bears really love 'em!
Jul 10, 2009 at 6:16 pm #1513213I used to beg mamma for a chocolate creme pie, every trip to the store. Mmmmmmm.

What is funny is that Hostess still uses beef fat for the frying. I noticed Safeway finally pulled it out.
Sadly, I loved these as a kid. Dang, how can tallow taste soooo good? ;-)

450 calories in 4 oz = only 112 calories per oz.For less bulk and more go-power, try these: I make up 3 oz net weight packets of each for snacks, except for the big Payday bar which is 3.4 oz as purchased
cashews = 170 cal/oz………3 oz = 510 cals
Pringles = 150 cal/oz……..3 oz = 450 cals
Peanut M&Ms = 144 cal/oz…..3 oz = 432 cals
King size Payday bar = 140 cal/oz…3.4 oz = 476 cals

Not being required to use a bear can where I normally hike … I think I could find room for a couple of those in my food bag. Maybe one for each of the even numbered days, or perhaps those divisible by 3;-)
Jul 10, 2009 at 8:05 pm #1513230Problem is…for me 3 out of the 4 above items I can't eat due to braces :-( I am 1 year 7 months in….
Pringles are the only thing I can eat in that list…..
As a side bennie, the Safeway versions are all dye free except for cherry flavor.
M7M's have dye so I can't have them either.

They're inedible in town, but they taste great on the trail. Now that I have the seal of approval from Sarah and Dicentra, I will feel guilty no longer!
Jul 13, 2009 at 2:26 pm #1513636Hah! Now that's funny.
I'll eat ANYTHING!!! :)
