What Are Zingers?
Zingers are small, sweet cakes that are perfect for a quick snack. They are known for their soft cake, creamy fillings, and tasty toppings.
Zingers Flavors
Zingers come in three main flavors: chocolate, vanilla, and raspberry. Each flavor has its own special look and taste.
Chocolate and Vanilla Zingers
Chocolate and vanilla Zingers have a thick, sweet icing on top. Inside, they have a creamy filling that's not made from dairy. This makes them extra rich and delicious.
Raspberry Zingers
Raspberry Zingers are a bit different. They don't have icing. Instead, they are covered with a mix of shredded coconut and yummy raspberry syrup. This gives them a unique fruity flavor.
Zingers in Commercials
For a while, Zingers were advertised using characters from the famous Peanuts comic strip. In these TV commercials, Snoopy played a fun character called the "Zinger Zapper." He would "zap" away hunger with a Zinger!
When Did Zingers Start?
Zingers have been around for a long time. They were first mentioned in grocery store newspaper ads as early as August and September of 1968. This means people have been enjoying Zingers for over 50 years!
