An Open Letter to Little Debbie
- September 7th, 2008 6:08 pm
Dear Little Debbie,
While you may have the nation fooled with your cute grin, berry kissed lips, and little straw hat, you have not managed to pull the wool over my eyes. Sure you set out to make people happy with your sweet little snacks. You even have a variety with 75 different kinds. To trump it all, you even offer a holiday selection with cakes shaped like Christmas trees and Easter Eggs.
Truthfully, I have a strange affinity for your zebra cakes, your caramel cookie bars, the strawberry shortcake rolls, and your oatmeal cream pie cakes.




However, Debbie, I’m convinced that from day one your goal in life was to make my ass fat. And let me tell you you are doing it. You have succeeded.
Now, PLEASE stop, DEB!
(Can I call you Deb? I feel like I should be allowed since I’m pretty sure you are responsible for the size of my thighs. That obviously makes us quite close.)
You see, Deb, I understand that me giving in to you and eating your delicious snacks as if they were crack and I was a fiend could be blamed on my willpower. But you see, my willpower is very strong until it comes to you. I’m convinced that you’ve put some sort of evil straw hat wearing type of trance on it. Clearly, it is all your fault.
So I need you to stop producing your majestic cakes, or at least make all of my local grocers hide them from me. Not only would I appreciate it, but my ass would too. It doesn’t like this rate of growth. It is very confused by this whole dieting thing, but then cheating and eating your delicious cakes.
It is likely that you sit at home thinking to yourself, “wow, I have everyone fooled. They are all devouring my treats.My plan is working. I can see it with the expansion of all of their asses.’ BITCH, please. You aren’t fooling me with your smile, Deb. I’m boycotting you. You are no longer allowed to contribute to my body.
I know that you really look like this:
That is all.
Your former loving friend,
Amanda
PS. please do not sue me.

THIS is why Debbie is no longer allowed to visit our house, cause her cakes hop into my mouth without me even planning to eat them!

Sometimes after everyone goes to bed, I sit down on the couch, have myself a Sex And The City marathon, and eat an almost entire box of Oatmeal Creme pies. I’m hopin’ all the extra calories adds a little somethin’ somethin’ to my boobs as opposed to my ass.

This was great!

AMEN!
I am so with you and Nissa! I was all fine and dandy until I revived my love affair with Swiss Cake Rolls, and learned my body does not process them at all like it use to, before age 30. Now, unfortunately, I have my own *rolls*.
I’ve actually been very good at boycotting them until I saw them for a dollar a box at Target a few weeks ago. Damn if those things can’t disappear in a day and a half.
Evil is too nice of a word for you, Deb.

LOL girl you are so funny! I’ve never tried Little Debbie’s snacks. I once knew another addict. I don’t know if she ever kicked her snack cake habit or not. I once had a similar issue with banana Moon Pies but am proud to say it’s been years since I binged on them

That little tart was in cahoots with my old grocer man. Every month, at the end of the month, he would put out the old boxes of cakes that WEREN’T even expired yet!!! For half price!!!!! How can a girl deny herself delicious treats at half the price? I prayed they were also half the calories. No dice.

DAMN, you called me out on it! I had two — I repeat, I’m not (that) ashamed — TWO Fudge Rounds yesterday. How did you know?
My BFF’s grandma used to send her a care package with the “___________ Party Cake” of the season every month. Believe it or not, there is a difference between Easter Party Cakes and Fall Party Cakes and Christmas Party Cakes and on and on. I think Fall were the best….yum.
I blame the T’room (cafeteria on campus, it stands for Thoroughbred Room, don’t ask…)’s delicious delicious french fries for the expansion of my GIANT ASS.
Great letter. Loved it.

Ol’ Deb (yes, she and I were two peas in a pod) got me through college with her (ahem) *devil’s* food cakes. But the Nutty Bars were equally devilish. These days, Deb is not welcome in my home, as I don’ t care for her influence on my kids.

What is it about those little white w/black stripe cakes that just lure us in? I have had an addiction to those since i was a kid (thats why I rarely allow them in my house..I can’t control myself around them) hehe Ha, maybe now that your on to her, she’ll straighten up her ’snack’ act.

When I was in high school, I had a teacher who was obese. And to say obese is not saying enough. Her class was right after lunch, and every single day, we would get to the classroom to find her sound asleep with an empty six pack of Coke and an empty box of Little Debbie cakes sitting on her desk. Even then, I thought it was one of the saddest pictures I had ever seen.

There are 100 calorie brownies which are just one half of the brownie and very thin. Just a tease really. I feel you. I try to avoid lil debbie’s section b/c my bf is addicted too. If they are in the house I will eat them up too. She is an evil little wench!

I have some Zebra Cakes in my cabinet now. They keep calling my name, offering me sweet rewards to eat just 1. Thankfully I’ve held my own for, 4 hours and oh, 14 minutes. Not sure I can hold out much longer, but I’m trying with all my might.

I lived off of the Oatmeal Creme Cakes when I was going through my divorce. Of course, the fact that I was only eating 3 of them a day and NOTHING else, meant that I lost 27 lbs.
So, see….there’s a place for Little Debbie.

I live pretty almost next door to the factory. At night, you can smell them cooking all kinds of sugary goodness. It is really freaking awesome, but it makes me want to go in and have a swiss cake roll or two!
We go out every night to try to guess what they are baking that night. Oh, the exciting life we lead…
