Anyone remember TastyKakes?
I have a mad craving for a butterscotch crimpette and I think that they went out of business.

2. Did they?
You used to be able to get them at the Philadelphia Fevre sandwich shop on Madison St. in Seattle. At least I remember the chocolate ones.

...he comes home with a few boxes of Butterscotch Krimpets.

Personally, I miss Drake's Ring Dings.

No Tastykakes are forever.
You can only get them in the Philadelphia/NY area I believe. I'm sure there is someplace you can order them on line.

My very favorites are the peanut butter Tandycakes.

7. Oh, gawd, those use
to be my favorites while in college. Can't touch them now without feeling overwhelming guilt about the fat and saturated fat.

25. I know of two, both in OC
One on Brookhurst south of the 405 down about a mile or two on the RHS. I'm sure that there is probably one up your way too.

I live in Philadelphia, and I assure you they are alive and kicking and pumping out butterscotch krimpets by the millions.
