Hostess Advertisements

One of the well-known comic-related topic was the late 70s and early 80s Hostess ads. These ads usually involve superhero being attacked by some random villain. Of course, they manage to defeat them with Hostess products. For example, Batman actually defeated a mummy by pacifying him with Twinkes. These ads first appeared in Marvel and DC Comics. However, after they decided to stop these, Archie, Harvey, Whitman and Gold Key Comics started to show these ads. However, they stopped appearing. These have been parodied by The Preacher and Radioactive Man. My main source was wikipedia/
