I'm gonna one up you buddy, whoopie pies are just gross. It's like eating diabetes.

(I have tried them a bunch throughout my life, I can't be 100% on the ingredients though, so you could be on to something OP)

Homemade are good. I’ve had good store bought whoopie pies before but in general I’m not really a baked sweets person so being able to make them at home and tone them way down is the best option. Those monstrosities that look like a scooby doo hamburger made of frosting are gross though.

I've even had homemade "this person makes the BEST you'll ever find" kinds. The cake part tasted better, for sure, it's that middle though, kills the whole experience.

It's like getting a cake but with "traditional" frosting. Can't even finish the piece of cake because the frosting is too much.

Scooby and shaggy were stoners, I'm sure they could even do a better job at creating some awesome munchies 🤣

Oh I basically just make a cake sandwich with a little bit of a frosting I like whipped in the mixer. Maybe like a 1/4” schmear. How do you feel about oatmeal cream pies?

Me and oatmeal are not friends... Lol it's almost ok, until you find the raisins then I'm done entirely

Raisin hater? I think you might just have terminally bad opinions. Please see a doctor before it gets worse.

Nah. I'm picky and I know it. I like what I like. Doesn't mean anyone around me has to do anything different. I've stomached some pretty nasty meals because I'm not about to make someone change their normal stuff for me. (Like mushrooms in stuffing... or mushrooms in general 🤢)

Mushrooms too? Oh no it’s metastasized

Oh trust me, it's a long list. I do try things again occasionally, taste buds change and what not. I barely eat anywhere other than home (mostly because I'm broke and can't eat out or travel). If ever I am elsewhere, I just suck it up and deal. Unless we're talking about ketchup on or in anything, I'd rather starve. The smell alone makes me gag.

Ketchup too?? Just when I think you’re done, you just keep digging the hole deeper! ;-)

Finally, someone else who hates whoopie pies! There is another!

Really, I just never saw the appeal of them. Tried them once. As my generation likes to say, they are mid.

Imagine trying one whoopie pie your whole life and saying you hate whoopie pies.

Oho no, I've had more than one whoopie pie in my life. I just don't find them appealing. I have much simpler tastes.

All sweet baked goods are bad for you. I cut down not out. I am happy with a taste.
