A yo-yo with each halve shaped just like the original Hostess Cupcake, complete with the traditional seven swirls of "white frosting" on each halve and chocolate brown "cake".

This was a premium item. You needed to collect two UPC symbols from any Hostess multi-pack product plus $2.99, and then mail it in to redeem the yo. On the right, click "Original Ad".

Made in China and distributed by Kidcentives of Minneapolis, Minnesota for Interstate Brands Companies of Kansas City, Missouri.

From the current Hostess website for the Cupcake:
"You know the signature squiggles of icing, the decadent frosting and the creme-filled core. But what you may not know is that you're currently drooling over the best-selling snack cake in the history of forever. Enjoy Chocolate, Orange, or Red Velvet flavors, in multipack or single serve."

Ever since the return of Hostess (sans the union), they've never tasted the same. What was tolerable before is now even worse. That's progress.
