POV-check

Article appears to not conform to a NPOV in some sections, especially "Comfort Food". Statements such as "those who have moved to a state where Tastykakes are not available consider a gift of Tastykakes something to be shared with close family and friends, and possibly to be hoarded and saved for a special occasion", and "For those people who really need to have their Tastykakes, they can now buy them directly from the company website" sound like something either ripped off of the Tastykake website or inserted by somebody who works for Tastykake. I'm not sure of what to do in this situation, though; my knowledge of Wikipedia is rather limited. Héous 02:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it sounds like something from a PR piece, but I know from personal experience (unfortunately no Wikipedia-suitable citation is available to me) that expatriots from the Tastykake marketing region do in fact give them as gifts and carry them long distances to bring them back to family and friends. I don't know that this phenomenon has been documented, but I've seen them carried to Chicago, Los Angeles, even to Hawaii. Pzavon 00:27, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I found a cite from the Daily News which backs the claims up. This whole article does need major cleanup and rewriting though, I might start working on it when I have more time. Krimpet (talk) 06:57, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
