Verb
yodels- third-person singular of yodel
Yodels are frosted, cream-filled cakes that are
made by the Drake's company,
which is owned by the
Interstate Bakeries Corporation. Yodels are distributed on the
east coast of the United
States. They are similar to HoHos, which are made
by Hostess
(also a brand of Interstate Bakeries Corporation).
Each plastic package of Yodels contains three
cakes, totaling 440 calories and three grams of saturated fat.
Yodels are also sold in a boxes containing five or eight
individually wrapped pairs of cakes (a total of ten or 16).
Formerly Yodels used a different formula, with thicker, denser cake
and came packaged in foil. This was changed by the late 80s to the
current recipe and packaging.
The snacks were featured in the movie Click, in
which the main character (played by Adam
Sandler) becomes extremely fat after eating Yodels for ten
years.
They are often referenced as a favorite snack
food by FOX News
Channel reporter Neil
Cavuto.
They are also a favorite of character Doug
Heffernan on the sitcom King of
Queens.
In the episode
The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons of The
Simpsons, Homer Simpson is forced to choose between buying a
Yodel or a winning lottery ticket. He ultimately chooses the
Yodel.
