Ho Hos

Ho Hos are semi-cylindrical, frosted, cream-filled cakes that are made by the Hostess company and are distributed in the United States. These cream filled chocolate cakes have a pinwheel design based on the Swiss Roll. They are similar to Yodels which are made by Drake's.

A San Francisco bakery created the first Ho Hos in 1967.[1]

A nut-covered version, Nutty Ho Hos, was introduced in 1999, along with a promotional search for "the country's nuttiest celebrity laugh" which was awarded to comedian Eddie Murphy based on consumer votes.[1]

Caramel Ho Hos were introduced in February 2004, and are still sold in stores today.[2]

"Happy Ho Ho" was the original cartoon mascot for Ho Hos, and appeared on the boxes, ads, and television commercials for many years before he was discontinued. The character wore an outfit similar to that of Robin Hood, including a feathered cap.
