Description
Dagnabbit, you're right...orange was available at one point in Boston at least! I can still remember the taste, slightly orangy and a little creamier taste than the chocolate Big Wheels. Loved Big Wheels!!! I lived on them!!! I remember the bright yellow wrapper with Chief Big Wheel on them -- two cakes per pack as I recall.

I absolutely LOVED Hostess Big Wheels. I used to eat them everyday when I was a child ( NO LIE ). Hostess tries to say they are Ding Dongs now but, Ding Dongs DO NOT TASTE ANYTHING LIKE BIG WHEELS. I honestly think Hostess had change the ingredients. To me Ding Dongs taste like they have cheaper ingredients like, equal sweetner instead of real sugar. I would love it if Hostess brought back Big Wheels with the original ingredients that they were made with.
How about the original Twinkie - they changed the creme inside those bad boys... remember how they used to have that grainy sugar taste... not the current fluffy cream which is absolutely nasty! I used to love the Big Wheels too - and agree they had a distinct taste... I grew up just North of NYC in the 70's...
Yea, I miss Big Wheels too!!! My mom got them because she didn't want to pay the price of ring Dings. I was bummed at first until I took my first bite if a Big Wheel. It was a wrap after that. I would get one of those tasty rounds in my lunch and naturally ate it first, since life is short. You could peel off the chocolate and then eat the cake later. That was very hard with Ring Dings and they don't taste nearly as good. I used to love Suzy Q's as well but I think they changed the cream and it just isn't the same. So sad. Hostess is just a shadow of what it used to be.
I too, was a big fan of big wheels, both indian character & cakes. I would love to have them back,
even for a temporary time !
