Tastykake | The Philly Food Show

Probably the biggest and most influential of the foodies we visited on The Philly Food Show is Tastykake, which has been supplying snack cakes and pies to the East Coast for nearly a century. Here's a couple of vintage Tastykake commercials including one with a young actress who would go on to greater renown on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Golden Girls.

@elvis3700 You can always buy them online at tastykake-dot-com, I know it's not the same as heading to the Wawa :)

I miss eating them... not because I moved, but because they made me so damned fat. I stopped eating them alone, and lost like 30 pounds. I miss the pumpkin pies in fall tho.
