Christmas Tree Cakes: Big Pack
Little Debbie (2024)
A few weeks ago, I mentioned that one of the first things that I learned when I started working for a candy company back in 2011 is that people don't read the package.  Turns out that I'm just as guilty of this as anyone.


Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes are one of my favorite snacks in the world.  I look forward to them coming out every year.  I noticed on my last trip to Wal-Mart that they had two different packages for them on their shelves; the regular one that they always have every year, and a larger, heavier box called the "Big Pack".  At a glance, the boxes looked pretty much the same, so I figured the "Big Pack" was just a box that had twice as many snack cakes inside.  If I had taken two seconds to read the package, I would have noticed that this wasn't the case, but my brain went as far as "Snack Cake... good... big pack... better" and in the shopping cart they went.


Before anyone gets the idea that I am complaining, please know that I am the exact opposite of disappointed.  The "Big Pack" does have six snack cakes inside as opposed to the five that are in the regular box, but each of the cakes are much larger.  The Big Pack Christmas Tree Cakes are about as big as a good sized slice of pie.  They don't seem to have as many sprinkles on them, but I can live with that.  These are freaking delightful!
