Junk Food Nation, I was invited to guest blog on another junk food blog!  Lookit that, moving up it the world. Er…relatively. Anyways, Eat!Drink!Snack! is a snack blog that asked me to write about a pumpkin flavored junk food, and talk about about a horror movie to celebrate October and Halloween.  I started to write about ESPN’s “Four Days in October” documentary, but decided to refrain.

Anyways, I’ll start the post below, then it’s up to YOU guys to click on over to Eat!Drink!Snack! and check out the rest of my review.  Don’t worry, I’ll make it real easy for you.  (Thanks to my friend Marybeth, who told me about these pies)  So, here we go!

Hello there, readers of EatDrinkSnack.com!  It’s your friendly neighborhood Junk Food Guy, here to contribute to this year’s Pumpktoberfest. When eatdrinksnack.com asked me guest blog, I was ecstatic! My first task – finding a pumpkin flavored junk food.  I researched online, talked to my friends, and discovered a slew of Pumpkin-flavored junk foods, from Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts to Pumpkin Spice Donuts from Krispy Kreme.  “Piece of cake, ” I thought, “This post will write itself.”

One problem: I couldn’t find any in real life!  Grocery stores, Walmarts, Targets – NO one had these pumpkin treats I was looking for!  Even the pumpkin spice donuts – the guy at Krispy Kreme stared at me like I had three heads. WTF. Plenty of “Halloween”-inspired spooky snacks (lame) but no pumpkin being sold.  I was feeling a little worried, I have to be honest.  I had this whole list of pumpkin-themed snacks, and every time I went out I’d stroll down every aisle to see if any of these items were in stock…Nope.

Then, one day…victory (thanks to the girl with the junk food radar, Adi):

The Money Shot

Tastykakes IMMEDIATELY reminded me of my high school years. When I was in high school, my friends used to steal Tastykakes from the school cafeteria. No joke. They would literally sneak in through the backdoor of the kitchen and steal armfuls of wrapped brownies and cakes. Ridiculous. It also reminded me of a high school anecdote which I’d like to share with you now, as I review this tasty treat….
