π Hostess Snoballs Review: SUPERCHEF vs SUPERMARKET
Summary
Darnell takes on Hostess SnoBalls and admits right from the jump that he absolutely hates coconut. Yeah, you read that right. The Louisville chef breaks down the pink marshmallow cakes with his signature three-category scorecards, giving nutrition an F thanks to 42% daily value of added sugar, but rewarding taste with a generous C++ because the moisture and bounce actually surprised him. At under a dollar per cake, the price gets an eight. His real talk about sugar and salt killing communities while still giving props where props are due? That's pure SuperChef.

All right
So, on this episode of Super Shepard Supermarket, we're going to the Hostess with the Mostesses
I told you we're doing snacks
So, we going to see these new Hostess Snowballs
All of the Big Macs across America has asked us to try these out
So, let's get into the kitchen
I don't know what the nutrition
going to be like, but let's go ahead and taste them. [music] All right
So, we are back in the kitchen
Super Shepard Supermarket people and today we have the hostess with the mostess
We were going to try their snowballs
This I don't know if this is new or not but man all the big
backs was DMing me about these
They said Super Chef you got to do them
You just got to Everyone's talking about them
This is like this remind me of Baby D from uh was it Next Friday all the new stuff for [music] come out you know like this is that right here
Coconut and marshmallow covered
chocolate cake with creamy filling
M m
Well, let's see what we got here
Let's see what these things look like
So, you get How many you getting in a pack? It's like [music] six, but it look like more than six
Six individually wrapped cakes
That's not right
It's impossible
Looks like way more than
sixes inside of here
No, they they know what they doing
It's six
I'm trying to tell them what they got
So, they look like this
They're super soft
I mean, [music] like a marshmallow bounce back to you
Um, let's talk about how they talk that talk
You know, that's the what they
brag about on the box
Um, and don't really have much positive
This is the part where people say all their nutritional benefits, everything they want to let you know about made in America, whatever you want to say
You know what I'm saying? I want to promote the product based on what the product
[music] says
Um, and this one doesn't say much
So, hey, it is what it is
Sometimes it's good
Uh, let's get right to it, man
Let's go
Let's go
I'm going to go to nutrition first this time and then I'm going to go to taste
I like taste to be last
I know people really came to see what it tastes like.
But um nutrition 180 calories per cake snowball per snowball
Um positives total carbohydrates 11%. [music] That's a win
That is a win
Uh until you keep going down in the carbohydrates [music] and it says 42% of your daily value off this little tiny amount of cake or snowball of your
sugar
Added sugar. added sugar
Stay away from it, people
Stay stay far away from it
Um, so I I won't get into nothing else
That's enough as far as that goes
Um, sugar and salt are killing my community. [music] So, uh, when it comes to things killing the community, I like to stay
away from as much as possible or just doing a moderation
That's really a problem
It's just overdoing it
Like, you could have this every once [music] in a blue moon, but when you're having this and other things like it, that's the problem
Uh, so yeah, I mean the first ingredient on the
ingredient [music] list is sugar
So that that says and the second ingredient is corn syrup
So nutrition if and that doesn't mean they going to be fired and I wouldn't eat it
You can f like this is like a class
You can get all A's and one F still me honor roll
I think uh positive, not super positive, but it's
only one one slice of the pie
Don't judge everything off one slice, but it is F for nutrition
Um, next, let's go to taste
I like to get the people what they want early in this early in the show
I want to wait till the last thing
Let's open this.
Oh man, coconutty
Oh my gosh
Okay, they got the coconut on fire for sure
This is a cool little texture
If I got something like this I was about to eat, I would think it was great
It looks good
Smells good
I ain't going to lie, smells [music] fire
Let's go ahead and dive in and see what it looks like
I
mean, see what it tastes like
Inside pretty good
All right, Kobe, I made that
Just so y'all [music] wonder, unless you can see that I did, but you can't
So, I made that
Um,
taste
Let's talk taste for a second
I probably should have said this
I didn't think about this when I got it, but I got it because my son liked it and it looked cool
Um, but also Big Backs out there wanted it
Uh, but I hate coconut. [laughter] I should have led the show with that Uh, I I I honestly hate
coconut unless it's in my drink
I love a Miami Vice in Las Vegas
You know what I'm saying? Now that's why [music] I love coconut
But I hate coconut with a passion when it comes to flavor and food and actual like [music] shaved coconuts, but this was probably some of the better dessert coconut I've had
Um [music]
it's not too much like it
It's not overpowering coconut
It is there though
Like you can't [music] run away from the coconut flavor, but I love the moistness of the cake, the marshmallow little bounce it gives you right there
And as much as there's coconut all over this and I taste it, I'm like, is this
real coconut? Cuz it ain't [music] too coconuty
Uh, let me see
Let me see
Let me see
Where does it say coconut on this thing at all? Um, it doesn't it got coconut
It It's not one of the top ingredients, but it does have actual coconut in it
So, that's pretty cool
Um, but yeah, highly
surprised that I like this
I wouldn't eat it again because I don't like coconut
But if I'm judging this, like this ain't bad
Like this is a a true C++ plus plus plus
And I'm only saying that because that's one thing like when you watch competition shows, [music] this is because somebody win
It's like
it's up to the judge and what they actually like what they prefer
Like you're never going to [music] judge a dish as a perfect dish or a great dish if it has something in it you don't like
So that C++ for me is a lot based with the fact that I don't love coconut, but that's a great grade for somebody
who doesn't like it
That's huge. [music] So taste C++ plus++
Trying to make it a B, but it ain't there yet
Um, next we got we did nutrition, we did that
Uh, price
So you got six of these, six servings for where we at? Where we at? [music] For $369 price
Do do six divided by do 369
divided by 6
That's cheap
That's a [music] cheap dessert
And this is you only need one of these
Like that's the problem with people
They eating two and three of them
Eating one
Actually go off the serving size
You may be better than you thought you was
But price, I'm going to give it a eight
That's like
less than a dollar per
And we know how expensive groceries are right now
So when it comes to price, a overall like you see, I got receipts here
We'll let you know no one is is is paying us to say anything
We will never allow anyone to pay us to give a review that makes their product look good. [music] The
whole point of the show is I want everyone to see us tear down these grocery stores inside and out and [music] give you our opinion on what the food really is based on our criteria that we judge it on
Just like people have been judging me my whole career on these shows
So, it's a little payback.
Can't wait to judge their grocery store food
Oh yeah
Wait
Can I never thought about that to right now
So, this is another episode of Super Chef for Supermarket
Remember, let me know what you want [music] to see
Let me know what you want me to try
Just message us, put in the comments
Instagram, my
DMs, it's always popping
So, I'll see you next episode
Thank you.
