One Last Thing about Snack Cakes

"Drake's was finally sold in 1998 to Interstate Bakeries Corporation, which by then had bought ITT/CBC, thus taking ownership of Hostess and Wonder. This time, the resultant monopoly was not overturned, and as other companies such as Little Debbie had expanded a great deal, it was not as much of a monopoly as it would have been before. Now, in the New York City area, Drake's and Hostess operations have combined, sharing the same trucks, delivery routes, and store racks. Some Hostess cakes such as Twinkies and Ding Dongs (whose name is permanently restored) in the northeast are now even produced at the Drake bakery and bear a kosher certification symbol in those areas."

From wikipedia, thanks to Marty for the link. I think the DingDongs I bought in Texas were slightly different, based on differences in the nutrition labels on the backs of the boxes.
