I am sad to say that I believe the Suzy Q is dead. The new version of the Suzy is bland and it seems that a box of 8 cakes weighs less than one of the original Suzy used to weigh.

the texture and density of the Suzy Q cake is what I liked best about the Suzy Q, but that has changed and it seems like a poor excuse for a snack cake. My dad is a true Twinkies fan and he has said the same about the quality of that cake as well. What is going on, why are you slipping??? Mrs.

Freshley's makes similar cakes with a better quality it seems. If they make a Suzy comparison I'm done with Hostess....

Reason of review: Not as described/ advertised.

Monetary Loss: $3.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

Hostess Brands Cons: Cake quality.

Location: Louisville, Kentucky

WOW! This was awful.

This was not the Suzy Q's i remember. What ever this was, stop making it.

Guest

My first and last time I buy anything from hostess!!! Very disappointed to what you've done to Suzy Q's.

Bring back the old Suzy Q's recipe.

The new ones are dry with hardly any filling and the cake taste like cardboard. Lost a 30 year customer.

Guest

I agree - The new version of the Suzy Q's are a major disappointment.

I grew up in the 80's & they were much better.

Guest

That cake taste nasty now GIVE IT UP YOUR SUCK

Guest

The new Suzy Q's are *** they need to stop making I never seen a cupcake so dried out in all my life and they're fresh box I've been eating Suzy Q for 40 *** years and they ain't worth of *** matter of fact they ain't worth the box they're put in, either go back to the old way they were made before going out of business, or stop making the product, I thought just maybe a bad box I've bought 4 more after that still the same ole *** was my favorite it up set me when they first went out of business and then they made a came back never ever buy another hostess product, all I no is tasty cake's is my new cake the only reason I'm writing this, I just bought a box I about choke on a Susie Q and I had to drink a half a gallon of milk to get it down they suck stop making them

Guest

Very disappointed with the new Suzy Q, I was excited to taste them, and oh boy they are horrible testing. I will go back to buying Little Debbie's product!!

Guest

Had my first suzy-cue after a long absence and it was one of the worst Hotess treats I ever ate. What is wrapped around that cream?

It's no where close to the original and I wonder just how far down Hotess has gone. I'm 70 and grew up with hotess.

They've become a poor shadow of the hotess name. How the company can put out such a low grade item and can call it an iconic name is shameful at best if not misleading.

Guest

I agree. They suck now! I live in Des Moines, Iowa....go democrat!

Yeah, go for the party of corruption and the party of intolerance. Oh, they're tolerant, all right, but only if you agree with them. The Democrats have systematically ruined America.

Guest

My wife used to love these and I would get them for her whenever she was sick (that and a Slurpee where I would pick up both at a 7-11 close to us).

This "revival" is ridiculous. It's like they threw away the old recipe, completely, and just made up something that was extremely cheap, quick and dirty.

It's a useless revival. Thanks for nothing, Hostess.

Guest

I have to agree,,sadly.I was so happy to see suzi-q's back on shelves,but the quality seems like a cheaply made sponge.

Guest

I agree...Suzy Q's used to be my favorite. These are just awful...do not buy them.

You will be very disappointed. They are nothing like the original version.

Hostess: make them correctly or just quit all together! These are bland and tasteless...what a waste of money!

Guest

I agree- Suzy is dead. What's with the dark, whatever it is that's painted on the top and bottom?

It looks like someone is trying to fool us into believing that the cake is the same as it was.

Very dry, tasteless waste of money. RIP Suzy.

Guest

I totally agree. The original Suzy Q was much bigger and taste a whole lot better.

The other favorite of mine than I now boycott is chips ahoy since they made the cookie paper thin. Thanks for the comments.

Guest

So bummed about the new Suzy Qs - they have the weirdest aftertaste, and don't taste like much else. The cake is very dry and weirdly airy, there's not much filling and they're small.

Nothing like the old Suzy Q I knew and loved. Big disappointment.

Guest

i agree i had one earlier and thought what have they done to what used to be a high quality snack cake! I guess that is why they are so much cheaper than they were before the shut down. But now yuck they are cheap and artificial tasting.

Guest

I have to agree. I was excited to see them on the store shelf, but was so disappointed once I tried one.

Nothing about it is the same except the name. Won't be buying them again.

Guest

I just tried my first "new" Suzy Q. I have to totally agree with your assessment.

The cake is completely different (dry...not moist and spongey like before) and much smaller...very disappointing. Then there is the filling. While this filling seems as though it is the same as before, there is maybe 1/5th of it in between the cakes compared to the original. I think 1/5th is being generous too.

This is a complete let down. Suzy Q's used to be ALL MINE (i never shared them)....and now, sadly, I am giving them to whoever wants them.

Guest

Couldn't agree more. Very disappointed in the new Suzy Q.

Guest

Disappointed that new Suzy Q has chocolate cake instead of devils food cake. Please bring back the devil's food cake
