| Entenmann's closed the Bayshore plant in Long Island in 2014, so the products are baked elsewhere and have not been the same since. I stopped buying their products a few years after.

| I miss the thick crumb on top of the very thin layer of cake!

Get my pies

| None of this store bought stuff is any good anymore between shrinkflation and gov mandated trans fat crap. And the prices are eye-watering now. May as well just make it yourself these days, that is a very easy cake to throw together

| quote: The pharmaceutical company Warner-Lambert purchased Entenmann's in 1978, and then sold it to General Foods in 1982.] General Foods merged with Kraft in 1990.
Kraft General Foods sold its bakery business to CPC International (later Bestfoods) in 1995.[9] Bestfoods was purchased by Unilever in 2000,[10] which sold its baking division to George Weston, a Canadian baked goods and supermarket business, the following year. Weston sold its US interests including Entenmann's, in 2008 to Mexican conglomerate Grupo Bimbo.
Other Bimbo Bakeries USA holdings include Thomas', Brownberry, Boboli, Arnold, Oroweat, Freihofer’s, and Stroehmann.[13]
They had a bakery in NJ. The normal routine for Sat. when I was a volunteer at the towns First Air Squad was their chocolate donuts. That was bake in the days when they still were a NY/NJ operation. quote: The coffeecake maker’s parent company Bimbo Bakeries USA announced in March that the kosher-certified factory in Bay Shore, Long Island, would close, citing rising taxes, fuel prices, and the cost of electricity.

| I've also posted that these aren't anywhere near as good as they used to be:   The texture is all wrong- waxy and boring. They also seem more desiccated and shrunken. My grandmother used to buy these when we were kids. I remember grabbing one with a glass of milk. I'd break one in half and let one half sink to the bottom of the glass to make a yummy sludge for the end. I know, it sounds gross, but it was amazing.

| I miss being able to afford them. Good lord. Every time I pick one up in a store I laugh at the price and put it down. "Are you insane?" Every now and then when I do have something from them, it's lacking. I used to have a coworker who worked at Entenmmans, he haaaaated the family, any time the name came up he'd curse them. (of course he was a scheming, lazy, POS so that means little. lol) quote: Originally posted by Xtbone97x:

This made me think of Hostess. They're now 1/2 the size they used to be and don't taste the same either. Sad. (have an employee who delivered for them, he too curses, but for different reasons. I believe a pension he didn't get.) |

If you're in the southeastern U.S., Publix frequently has BOGO on Entenmann's products.

Kind of like tropical chocolate? None of these snack cakes are anywhere near the size, and taste the way they did, back in the '60s. Twinkies, cupcakes, Ho-Hos...you name it. They're all chemical shit now.

Growing up on Long Island in the 1990's I watched them go downhill and fast. It was some of my first experiences of disappointment.
