Recall: Indiana Ding Dongs Might Contain Mold

Hostess just announced a massive recall on one of their most popular products...Ding Dongs.

We live in a world where it seems like there's a new recall practically every day. Whether it be a recall on vehicles, home appliances, food, or drinks, there are a lot of them. However, it's not every day that a recall comes along that I am excited to write about. Don't get me wrong, this recall is rather serious, but how often do you get to tell people that you don't even know to check their Ding Dongs for mold?

See...that's funny, right?!

Hostess has issued a nationwide recall on their popular Ding Dongs, which is a chocolate-and-cream whoopie pie that people have been indulging in for decades.
