Verified ReviewerComplaint against product
I love Hostess and my favorite snack is the ding *** but I purchased a family box of ding *** on 2/1/24 and the following day when we went to open the box and take a ding-dong out to eat and bit into it, it was extremely hard. So when I turned the ding-dong to the back the plastic was slightly open, so I checked the rest of them in the box and found two others like this as well so I disposed of the box because that's too many in one box to be slightly opened like that, and we were afraid to eat any out of that box.
They should have not been packaged in the box if they were already open. The family box contains 16 cakes, so that was a waste of money to purchase the family box and have 3 out of the box to be open in the back.
