ChampSkinsFanatic Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 http://www.wtopnews.com/?nid=456&sid=1114540 April 13, 2007 - 11:57am WASHINGTON - Admit it. You've probably had a Hostess Ho Ho some time in your life. The staple of the junk food industry turns 40 this month. Ho Hos came on the market April 26, 1967 when a San Francisco bakery began hand producing them. And yes, the Swiss-rolled, chocolate covered snack cakes remain popular today. Every year 100 million Ho Hos are sold. Here are some Ho Ho factoids you may or may not know: Pittsburgh is the Ho Ho capital of the U.S. People there eat more Ho Hos per capita than any other city. D.C. eats more than two million Ho Hos a year. The city ranks No. 10 in Ho Ho consumption. Three Ho Hos have 17 grams of fat. Happy Ho Ho was the animated cake hero who promoted the product on TV. Happy Ho Ho's mission was to keep the Redwood Forest free of litter bugs and forest fires. Happy Ho Ho's animator Don Duga also created Twinkie the Kid, Fruit Pie the Magician and King Ding Dong. When Hostess rolled out Nutty Ho Hos in 1999, Americans picked Eddie Murphy as having the nuttiest laugh, followed by Phyllis Diller, Roseanne Barr and Pee Wee Herman. Ho Hos are in competition with another Hostess product, Ding Dongs. "There are Ho Ho loyalists out there, and there are Ding Dong loyalists as well," says Kevin Kaul, marketing director for Hostess.
