Ditto for the "Philly Cheesesteak" chain in the SF Bay area, though they only have a few kinds--usually chocolate cupcakes, peanut butter and/or chocolate Kandy Kakes, and a couple of others.
A few years back, my local Safeways and a few other stores started carrying Tastykakes (jubilation!), but after a short while they stopped (tragedy!). I guess Tastykake's venture into our local market failed while Hostess (aargh!) continued to dominate until its demise. Bay Area folks think they're such discriminating eaters, but what can you say about a place that has Little Debbies and Hostess, but no Tastykakes or Drake's and only a limited line of Entenmann's? It's a junk food desert, I tell you.
