There’s always a strong nostalgic feeling when a classic treat makes a huge comeback. Some of you may still remember Hostess’ Tiger Tail snack cakes although it has been years since we last saw them on the shelves. The good news is, Twinkies recently released a new variety bearing the name Tiger Tails on the packaging. Fans of the original Tiger Tail have all the right to get excited over this news. But we’re sorry to inform you that this isn’t exactly the same as the original snack cakes.
The original Tiger Tail is a golden sponge cake with creamy filling just like regular ones. But its most striking feature was the striped toppings making it look like a tiger’s tail, hence the name. These snack cakes had a swirl of raspberry jelly on the top with a tropical coconut flavor to. The new variety, on the other hand, doesn’t have the notable stripes on top. It’s basically the classic cake but with an orange crème filling instead of the regular vanilla cream. The tiger stripes, however, are printed on the individual wrappings.

These limited-edition Tiger Tails are exclusively available at Walmart. They started rolling out on July 21st so you are likely to find these goodies in the snack aisle of your nearest Walmart location. These yummy golden sponge cakes come in a 13.58-oz box containing 10 individually wrapped pieces. Just like the original Tiger Tail, this orange crème-filled variety won’t be staying for good. So, who’s ready to hunt like a tiger and look for these treats while they last?
