3. Who is going to volunteer to tell Tallahassee about this?

Because . . .uh . . not it.

4. I was always fond of Snowballs (I think they're called)

The round coconut covered, often pink in color, filled with dome soft sweetness in the center. Weren't they made by Hostess?
Used to indulge on a break at work.
They'll probably be forever lost, just like the flat raisin-filled cookie/cracker that Sunshine used to make.

5. Oh darn, forgot about those - what will they use for the bikini cakes?

Those were always used for the top portion.

6. Do you mean those flat cookies, that you had to break apart?

I loved those as a kid.

7. Yeah, sort of like a raisin bar, squarish/oblong.

I've seen a similar product, made in England advertised on Amazon or Ebay, as well as available from the Vermont country Store, but didn't order - they're not really the same.
Miss them.
