Earlier today, Little Debbie released a definitive ranking of their snack cakes, with Oatmeal Creme Pies at the top and Fig Bars at the bottom.
The 2019 Snack Cake Rankings have been released! 😱
Personally, I think the chart looked pretty accurate. Oatmeal Creme Pies are my absolute fave, so the only real change I would make would be to move Swiss Rolls to the "legends" category.

But after looking at the responses, it seems like I'm not the only one with a differing opinion on the snack hierarchy. Here's what some people said on Twitter:
Like how Fudge Rounds were completely left off the list.
Just like they did with Banana Twins.
@LittleDebbie Where are the Banana Twins???
And then there were those who had a problem with the "legends" category as a whole.
@SeanCBass @LittleDebbie There's a lot of errors here. Mostly the glaring one where they put oatmeal cookies on the Legends list. Zebra Cakes, Swiss Rolls and Star Crunches are your snack cake Triplets.
I honestly couldn't believe the disrespect my beloved cookie cakes were receiving.
@LittleDebbie These lil buggers need to go on a row all by themselves. And the row should be labeled “ew”
And last but not least, there were those who thought all the snacks on the list were trash.
@LittleDebbie @lilgamer713 All of these are disgusting
Well, now I want to hear from you! How do you feel about this Little Debbie snack cake ranking? Did your favorite snack make the cut?
As someone deeply immersed in the world of snack cakes and their intricate flavors and textures, I've not only tasted but also studied the various offerings of Little Debbie and similar snack brands. Little Debbie has a storied history in the realm of snack cakes, and their 2019 Snack Cake Rankings elicited quite the response.
The article highlights the public's diverse reactions to Little Debbie's rankings, which positioned Oatmeal Creme Pies at the top and Fig Bars at the bottom. While the rankings are subjective, they reflect the sentiment of a community deeply invested in these nostalgic treats. The discourse on Twitter demonstrates a range of opinions, from people advocating for their favorite snacks, such as Fudge Rounds and Banana Twins, to others questioning the absence or placement of beloved cakes like Zebra Cakes and Swiss Rolls.
The notion of categorizing certain snacks as "legends" also sparked debate, with some vehemently disagreeing and proposing alternative trio sets like Zebra Cakes, Swiss Rolls, and Star Crunches as the definitive snack cake Triplets.
The passionate responses on Twitter reflect a broader sentiment—that these snack cakes hold a special place in people's hearts and taste preferences, evoking strong emotions and nostalgia. Some were deeply disappointed, feeling their favorites were snubbed or unfairly placed, while others expressed disdain for the entire selection.
My take on the rankings aligns with the sentiment that it's highly subjective. Preferences for snack cakes vary greatly among individuals, influenced by personal nostalgia, taste, and perhaps even regional availability. As for my personal favorite, I'm a fan of Swiss Rolls and would probably second the notion of elevating them to legendary status.
Ultimately, snack cake rankings can be a fun conversation starter, but they're unlikely to definitively capture the sentiment of every consumer. The beauty of snack cakes lies in their ability to evoke cherished memories and preferences unique to each individual.
