Man that is not a Zebra Cake! Zebra cakes were hexagon shaped with 3 horizontal layers: cake, filling, cake. Little Debbie just reusing the swiss roll machines to make zebra cakes and it’s a travesty. It’s blasphemy to call that monstrosity a Zebra Cake!
At my store they’re selling both. The new one in the roll form is called zebra cake rolls so it’s just a new variety but the original are still being sold.
I 100% agree 👍🏼 We have enough people, try to be so effing smart, but end up being annoying lol. So i am always happy when i see a new FR video. If it involve the family, even better.
Would definitely get more of the cake etc. I feel like most ice creams these days hardly have any of the toppings that they say that they put in there.
I think this is the solution but it doesn’t hold up for mass production. I can go on GoPuff and find ice cream just like that with popcorn and cake and cookies folded into a vanilla base but it’s all boutique, hand mixed to order.
2:42 I always ate my Swiss Rolls chilled in the fridge anyway. They tasted sweeter to me that way than when the creme is warm. You should have used your Thrifty-style scoop in this video! Using the spoon looked painful lol.
I always love how real and honest you are, drops ice cream on table, "I don't care still eating it" lmao other youtubers would edit that out being so real always makes me trust your reviews even more
It's so heartwarming to see them together. They get along like best buds even though they're father and son. Was/Is James a single-father? I wouldn't be surprised if he was a great solo dad.
for anyone wondering or confused about the zebra cakes those are the rolls zebra cakes still have a hexagon shape she just made zebra cake roll and the hexagon zebra cakes that we had in our childhood but both are still good to me
When I was pregnant with my kids all 3 of them I craved the crap out of the original Strawberry Short Cake Rolls. Now I can't wait to try the ice cream to go with it
I found the whole dialogue exchange during the nutty buddy segment so inadvertently funny. Brandon: Never had one of these. James: We aren't commenting on these because everyone knows what they taste like. Cut to James after they ate them: Okay Brandon what do you think?
They really should have made the Swiss Roll version with a swirl of vanilla in the middle. Maybe it's not possible, but it really just looked like chocolate ice cream. Now I want a Swiss Roll. YUMMY!
I just bought some star crunch the other day for the first time in probably 15-20 years. I'd forgotten how much I liked those things. Whole box gone in a day.
That was quite a great/funny review! Glad to see you both are well, namely Brandon! I would probably love either of your top 2's with the honey buns and the strawberry shortcakes. Loved the bloopers/extras at the end, always fun to see those!
First off, LOVE the outtakes at the end. Secondly, I think the Nutty Buddy got the short end of the stick and you should have revisited that one to dig in deeper. That said, I have not yet tried these but look forward to it
@@Freakinreviews Ah I gotcha. Thanks for letting my know. Thought they might have changed shape to cut down on manufacturing costs. And great video. I'm going to have to try the Oatmeal cream pie and Honey Bun ice cream.
Thanks for reviewing these! I'm excited to give the Zebra Cake version a try soon. Btw eating Zebra Cakes in any other shape than a hexagon unimaginable to me these days lmao. I still don't get why they made a second version to begin with. It feels like there's always too much cream to cake ratios in those. 🤷♀️
Never had Little Debbies growing up so I don’t have a tie in to this snack, still enjoyed the video. I think it makes a nice video when you include Brandon.
Great video guys! I enjoy watching you guys compare and taste products. I would have liked to see you guys eating the products and watching your initial reactions. Overall awesome!
We have the cakes here in IL but my store (not Walmart) doesn't have the ice cream. Ice cream is my pleasure indulgence. I haven't eaten one of those cakes in 30 + years. Great review and maybe next time I'm at Walmart I will check and see if they have them there. Thanks for the fun review always fun to watch. Happy Fri-Yay 🤗🤗
You so deserve that 1 mil sub mark! Hope it is soon in your future. Grew up with Debbie. My only complaint is they’ve gotten smaller and smaller. But still best budget snack cakes! ❤️ PS Your son has turned into a very handsome guy. I enjoy seeing you two together. 😁
This is exactly what I've been needing. Just recently found out there were such ice creams! Though sad to hear that my favorite of the snacks, the nutty buddy, came in last. Thanks guys 🤗
Aww, this was great. I always enjoy your videos but this one was really fun. Totally enjoyed your son's synopsis of the treat comparisons. You guys look more like brothers. Great video. And good for Little Debbie branching out with the ice cream.
OMG lil Debbie now has ice cream?! I ate a bazillion oatmel cream pies and swiss rolls as a kid. Now I got to go hunt them down in my area, if I can find them. Thanks for the review it was great.
I really enjoyed the two of you doing the review :) I'll have to look and see at my local grocery stores to see if they have them yet. Little Debbie snacks are my favorite :)
Man that is not a Zebra Cake! Zebra cakes were hexagon shaped with 3 horizontal layers: cake, filling, cake. Little Debbie just reusing the swiss roll machines to make zebra cakes and it’s a travesty. It’s blasphemy to call that monstrosity a Zebra Cake!
Haha. I remember the hexagon ones too.
This must be a recent change. What a shame
@Jason Wiese they still are hexagon shape also.They just give you both options
@@brownandbeautiful75 yeah I have 2 boxes of the hexagons in my kitchen! 🤣🤣 ive only seen the rolls in the single packs
At my store they’re selling both. The new one in the roll form is called zebra cake rolls so it’s just a new variety but the original are still being sold.
These guys are answering life’s serious questions! Always a treat when a new video comes out
Thank you so much!!!!!!
To heck with Consumer Reports. I trust him so much more. He constantly takes one for the team.
I 100% agree 👍🏼 We have enough people, try to be so effing smart, but end up being annoying lol. So i am always happy when i see a new FR video. If it involve the family, even better.
Yeah, we don't really care about the meaning of life!
The answer too the best Little Debbie I've cream.... Now that's important! Lol 😂
I'm enjoying watching a father and son. I feel like this is a father who has invested time, love, into raising his son. I'm so touched.
Crazy idea - smash the actual snacks into quality vanilla or chocolate ice cream, call it a win.
Would definitely get more of the cake etc. I feel like most ice creams these days hardly have any of the toppings that they say that they put in there.
@@koi.in.pond3149 ben and jerrys used to have bits of pretzel in their ice cream. Now they grind it to the texture of sand.
I think this is the solution but it doesn’t hold up for mass production. I can go on GoPuff and find ice cream just like that with popcorn and cake and cookies folded into a vanilla base but it’s all boutique, hand mixed to order.
@@nocodekevin lol well that's why . Just like cold stone they do pretty good . That's just my opinion.
I am very disappointed about the nutty bars. They are my favorite. I could sit and eat a whole box with a glass of cold milk.😋
I like the respect your son shows you.
He seems like a great guy.
You two make a dynamic team
👍🏻
He takes after his respectful dad!
This series is so fun!
2:42 I always ate my Swiss Rolls chilled in the fridge anyway. They tasted sweeter to me that way than when the creme is warm.
You should have used your Thrifty-style scoop in this video! Using the spoon looked painful lol.
im really enjoying these food fridays, and seeing brandon in these videos. keep up the good work guys!
I always love how real and honest you are, drops ice cream on table, "I don't care still eating it" lmao other youtubers would edit that out being so real always makes me trust your reviews even more
The 3 of you together must look like adorable triplets 😆 Never ate Little Debbies or tried the icecream, but very funny to watch you guys!
This is awesome I've never thought about comparing the ice cream to the cakes.
Why wouldn't you? Common sense man
Man I love it when Brandon is present in these videos, having a second opinion on things is great
Nice video. Bet you could have cut the pints vertically down the middle to see the mix-in distribution better and get at the chunks easier.
Love these comparison vids with Brandon. So fun. Love!
I really like the food reviews. You and your son’s commentary is complementary. I would love to see these past February. 😁😁
It's so heartwarming to see them together. They get along like best buds even though they're father and son. Was/Is James a single-father? I wouldn't be surprised if he was a great solo dad.
No his wife has been in some videos
@@Kizzabell I always assumed he was divorced🌜🤔🌛 -Mercy(sorry for the name confusion i am on my dad's phone at the moment)
I have to say with all of your reviews, you have helped me make great choices! Thank you for your content
Love the series! Keep em coming Freaking Reviews Fam
Love your energy together. It's so sweet. Keep up the fab work.
I really enjoy watching you do the reviews and interact with your son to do these videos. I'm so glad I found your channel.
Glad to see Brandon making a few appearances-I’m sure some folk miss him on his Freakin’ Brandon channel
I am really enjoying these taste review videos you two have been making. It’s fun having them in the rotation!
Love the food reviews and as always it's nice to see Brandon!
for anyone wondering or confused about the zebra cakes those are the rolls zebra cakes still have a hexagon shape she just made zebra cake roll and the hexagon zebra cakes that we had in our childhood but both are still good to me
Really love the videos with your son! He’s a natural, and please keep up with the snacks and food reviews! 😎
A local ice cream shop an hour away from my house makes the own oatmeal pie ice cream, and it’s fantastic!
My wife and I are going to try all of these because we love Little Debbie snacks. You and your son have a good dynamic . Keep up the good work.
Brandon is awesome! Like seeing him on the channel from time to time!!
Agreed!
When I was pregnant with my kids all 3 of them I craved the crap out of the original Strawberry Short Cake Rolls. Now I can't wait to try the ice cream to go with it
I found the whole dialogue exchange during the nutty buddy segment so inadvertently funny.
Brandon: Never had one of these.
James: We aren't commenting on these because everyone knows what they taste like.
Cut to James after they ate them: Okay Brandon what do you think?
They really should have made the Swiss Roll version with a swirl of vanilla in the middle. Maybe it's not possible, but it really just looked like chocolate ice cream. Now I want a Swiss Roll. YUMMY!
I wish they had a star crunch one 🌟
I just bought some star crunch the other day for the first time in probably 15-20 years. I'd forgotten how much I liked those things. Whole box gone in a day.
Star crunch was one of my faves as a kid
Fudge Rounds ice cream, too.
Great authentic review. I love Lil Debbie's, yum. Be well.
I noticed Brandon never interrupts, he always listens and waits for a turn to talk! Good job raising him 😄
Your videos are so calm and relaxing to watch. Have a good weekend
Can't wait to try! James you are the best!
I am loving the taste tests, missed them for awhile. 😉
That was quite a great/funny review! Glad to see you both are well, namely Brandon! I would probably love either of your top 2's with the honey buns and the strawberry shortcakes. Loved the bloopers/extras at the end, always fun to see those!
Love all this taste videos 😍
So glad!
You two are so cute. Well done! Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks for the review it was great going to try to find them.
Freakin' Food Fridays in February? Wooooo!!! 🤘🏻 Thank you everybody for watching. We appreciate each and every one of you!
I like your shirt. What brand is it? They did an excellent job of matching the plaid.
I love you Friday foodie reviews!!!!
You are such a good dad , the bloopers at the end are awesome
!
First off, LOVE the outtakes at the end. Secondly, I think the Nutty Buddy got the short end of the stick and you should have revisited that one to dig in deeper. That said, I have not yet tried these but look forward to it
Fun video. Watched the whole thing with a full on smile. :)
It's hilarious watching both of you take huge bites of the foods. It's nice seeing people who enjoy doing their jobs.
Love when Brandon is in the videos! So fun to see you guys working together! ☺️
I love these food taste tests with you & Brandon!
I like that you have your son with you in some of your videos. A nice touch!
On the swiss cake roll icecream, there's more swirl deeper in the icecream and to me, it tasted so much like a swiss cake roll, I loved it
I remember Zebra Cakes being in like a hexagon shape. I wonder why they changed them to be like Swiss Rolls?
Hi @Cool Spot, Zebra Cakes are still in a hexagon shape as you remember them, but I picked up the Swiss Rolls form for this video! Same ingredients
@@Freakinreviews Ah I gotcha. Thanks for letting my know. Thought they might have changed shape to cut down on manufacturing costs. And great video. I'm going to have to try the Oatmeal cream pie and Honey Bun ice cream.
i was going to say the same thing
@@Cool-Spot They still exist but they're smaller than before to cut down on costs. 😩 I have them often so seeing it happen in real time was rough.
@@ajroses4267 at least they've kept the prices of their stuff the same for ages
Little Debbie if you're reading this I humbly suggest chocolate covered strawberry shortcake rolls...snack & ice cream 😍😋
I will forward this to Big Deborah, head of Little Debbie's R&D team. Thank you for your valiant contribution, consumer.
@@MrBrad12435 Big Deborah 🤭😆
You two are a great team, just love these reviews
I really enjoy these father and son videos. All I can say is.... I'm craving ice cream big-time now....🤣
I love to freeze Swiss Rolls before eating. The outer chocolate falls off and then you have a velvety center roll!
Thanks for reviewing these! I'm excited to give the Zebra Cake version a try soon. Btw eating Zebra Cakes in any other shape than a hexagon unimaginable to me these days lmao. I still don't get why they made a second version to begin with. It feels like there's always too much cream to cake ratios in those. 🤷♀️
I like the food fridays keep it up!
Omg I LOVE THE BLOOPERS👍🏻👍🏻
These two are too silly. I love it!
Never had Little Debbies growing up so I don’t have a tie in to this snack, still enjoyed the video. I think it makes a nice video when you include Brandon.
I’ve never seen the Strawberry Shortcake snack here in Hawaii. Great review!
Loving having Brandon back and Friday Food
I was waiting for You guys to sit down be comfortable
Great video guys! I enjoy watching you guys compare and taste products. I would have liked to see you guys eating the products and watching your initial reactions. Overall awesome!
Yay !!! Brandon and zebra cakes !!! Good job guys !!!
man the videos u do with ur sons , it always seems like u lads have fun n are great to watch, always enjoy ur reviews, take care lads
As brandon is warming up to being on camera more of his natural personality is showing through and that's cool.
I love when u incorporate ur kids in ur videos, cuz they're as cool as u, n it's nice to have another perspective. 😊
I have never seen the zebra cakes in roll forms like that here in ga all we get by where I live are the shaped layered one I think it may be octagon
Little Debbie's are made in Chattanooga TN close to my hometown so they are dirt cheap around here, so are Moon pies.
That is really good information to know, thank you for sharing Captain America 1776
Dirt cheap in Cleveland ohio, box of 6 or 8 for a $1
We have the cakes here in IL but my store (not Walmart) doesn't have the ice cream.
Ice cream is my pleasure indulgence. I haven't eaten one of those cakes in 30 + years.
Great review and maybe next time I'm at Walmart I will check and see if they have them
there. Thanks for the fun review always fun to watch. Happy Fri-Yay 🤗🤗
Thanx sooooo much for reviewing these ice creams !!! Both my bf and I LOVE ❤️ oatmeal cream pie’s so now I’m going to get him some for Valentines Day.
Little Debbie ice creams WHAT? I'm gonna have to go looking for them. 😋😋😝😝
Love when you guys do reviews as a family
Those bloopers were so wholesome
"We all know what this tastes like"
Umm, I've never had a Little Debbie snack. So...
My college breakfast was a Pop Tart and a can of either Pepsi or Mtn Dew.
You so deserve that 1 mil sub mark!
Hope it is soon in your future. Grew up with Debbie. My only complaint is they’ve gotten smaller and smaller. But still best budget snack cakes! ❤️ PS Your son has turned into a very handsome guy. I enjoy seeing you two together. 😁
Use one of your previously reviewed ice cream scoopers for this.
I've had the Cosmic Brownie and Oatmeal Creme Pie ice creams before, and they were good.
Great review! I love it when you two pair up for a video. I wonder why Little Debbie didn't make a star crunch ice cream? It would be delicious!
This is exactly what I've been needing. Just recently found out there were such ice creams! Though sad to hear that my favorite of the snacks, the nutty buddy, came in last. Thanks guys 🤗
The real chunks of "stuff" are usually in the middle after you dig down a bit. Combine with outside edges. Ice cream eating is an art. Trust me. 🍨
I noticed you normally have Brandon when you're trying food items he's an eater isn't he? lol Love your frackin' reviews ! 😏Stay Groovy ✌~N~💖
There's Little Debbie ice cream?!!😲🍦
Also Brandon is so cute.😍
Great review and brought back my childhood memories. Thanks
(What's with the throw-the-heads-backwards thing for each taste test)? Is that a family custom??
I never knew I always wanted/needed this video.
Any word on if Lil Debbie is gonna bring out more flavors? I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fudge rounds
Aww, this was great. I always enjoy your videos but this one was really fun. Totally enjoyed your son's synopsis of the treat comparisons. You guys look more like brothers. Great video. And good for Little Debbie branching out with the ice cream.
Two days ago at the grocery store I saw Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme pie cereal which I've never seen before, and now you show ice cream.
Brandon: do I have anything on my face?
James: no... just hair 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
OMG lil Debbie now has ice cream?! I ate a bazillion oatmel cream pies and swiss rolls as a kid. Now I got to go hunt them down in my area, if I can find them. Thanks for the review it was great.
I really enjoyed the two of you doing the review :) I'll have to look and see at my local grocery stores to see if they have them yet. Little Debbie snacks are my favorite :)
i would try those ice creams and i think , even though i wasnt a fan of the strawberry short cake snacks i think i would get that one first
"Everyone's had these before." They said.
Me.. Who's never had any of them before.
Craving the Honey Bun😋. Love you guys together & the goofiness at the end
2 cent chick beat you to the punch on this one.... I'm surprised you didn't give her a shout out. I thought she was your friend.
This is a great series.... please keep it up!
I very much enjoy this new series. I'd love for it to stick around.
