The Results are In!!! A Dramatic Finish!

The LRHS Labor Day Ring Ding Ding Dong Duel is now over, but not without some controversy. Before I give away the results, I will tell you that last night, we had to go to two different 7-11s and one grocery store before we finally found some Ding Dongs. It was quite a big production. It's all for you, the readers of this blog.


Here are some pictures of the event as it was happening. It took us a few minutes to get serious, but once we did, it was all business. Kev prepared the snack cakes while I blindfolded myself. Then, I took several alternating bites of each cake, judging them on a scale of 1 to 5 in the areas of chocolaty coating, cake, creamy filling, and overall taste. I have to say, there wasn't a whole helluva lot of difference, however one cake had a slightly tastier chocolaty coating, and more creamy filling, which was a definite plus in my book. So, when the scores were added up, Cake B edged out Cake A by a score of 16.5 to 14. I also guessed that Cake B was the Ding Dong. Now, here is where the controversy occurred. After the scores were calculated, we revealed the labels that Kev had placed under each plate. This indicated that Cake B was indeed the Ding Dong, and therefore Ding Dong was the winner. BUT, Kev then claimed to have mislabeled the plates! Now, I have known Kev for a long time, and I don't think he would try to cheat just to have RingDings declared the winner. The only way to tell for sure was to cut open another of each snack cake to reveal which one indeed had more cream filling. After much investigation, I think Kev is telling the truth, and RingDings DID actually win.

So, all drama aside, I hearby declare Ring Dings the official winner of the LRHS Labor Day Ring Ding Ding Dong Duel, and I am just happy that I never have to type that again. Congratualtions to the good people of Drake's for having the superior snack cake with the better creamy filling to cake ratio. And thanks to Kev for participating in my silliness.
