Many of us who were reading comics back in the 1970s have fond memories of the Hostess snack cake ads that appeared regularly in comics. These ads featured a wide variety of popular comic book characters and appeared regularly in virtually all mainstream comics of that day. I have no idea how many of these ads there may have been altogether, but there were A LOT of them. I thought it might be fun to start an online archive of Hostess ads. I will post some that I have easy access to and hopefully some of you will add any of these that you come across to this thread.

I love those old Hostess ads, @michaelekrupp. And you're right... there were lots of them. I'd have to dig through all my books but here are a few (not my pictures).

Nice. I remember the sugar coated outer layer of the pie. It was a two in one treat. Devoured the fruit filling first and then munched on the sweet outer crust. I remember their pudding pies too. They used to have coupons in each pack that gave you an opportunity to win a free pudding pie. I think they were scratch off tickets. My friend showed me to trick on how to win on every ticket. I got sick of those pies after 10 or so.

Didn't they quit making everything Hostess for a while? They went under or something, but another company bought it up almost immediately.

I think your right. I think they went under just to get rid of union employees then reopened changeing a few names of things due to legality
