  i used to like them.  now, like many things that come
from corporate factories for producing overprocessed
sweet stuff it has little taste other than sweet.

  there was one Little Debbie product i liked but i've
not had any of those in years either (Oatmeal Creme Pies
i think they're called).  those might still sort of have
some oatmeal taste - but i'm not too likely to care now
as i can make things that do have good flavor.
