I sent a letter to Little Debbie. Here is the post of it. Bring Back Tiger Cakes
Even though their response was less than satisfactory, at least they sent me one.
Dear Mr. Blubaugh:
Thank you for your inquiry concerning LITTLE DEBBIE(r) Tiger Cakes. We appreciate your interest in our fresh baked favorites.
This product was discontinued in 1997 because the sales volume was not sufficient to warrant their production. Several customers, such as you, have been disappointed, and we are truly sorry for this inconvenience.
The LITTLE DEBBIE(r) line has many varieties from which we hope you will choose another favorite. From crunchy crackers to creamy cakes – – -, from fruit filled cereal bars to melting morsel granola bars – – -, from caramel and fudgy candies to light and delicate wafer bars, LITTLE DEBBIE(r) has a treat for you. Enjoy a new one today!
Sincerely,
MCKEE FOODS CORPORATION

1997! That cannot be right, I remember buying them and enjoying them on a drive while I had my Cutlass and I did not have that until 2000. Course the reply indicates that they were discontinued in 1997 therefore meaning not being made anymore, but I find it hard to believe there was at least three years worth of these snacks in distribution.
Which I guess brings me to my next thought, just how old are those nutty bars, mini pecan pies, and Zebra Cakes?
