I love Raspberry Zingers! They are so good that I never considered Twinkies to be in the same league with the wonderful red snack coated in coconut.
I admit I also have a soft-spot for Sno Balls.
I was thrilled the other day - on the way to Soweto to have Bible study with a friend - when I saw "Red Cake."
My mouth watered as I stood in line with my purchase!
Words can not express my utter disappointment. The African version of raspberry zingers is horrible! Not that is tastes bad - it doesn't. The fact is - it doesn't taste. That's the point. It looks beautiful, all red and coconut covered . . . but there is no flavor to be found or enjoyed!
Janna Kay says "there is absolutely no taste - it's like water. It is a waste of calories."
Even though she considers Snickers bars to be sin - her opinion is absolutely correct.
That leads me to make another observation.
Snickers bars are not sin - Red Cake is sin!
That is to say, Red Cake is just like sin in that it looks really appealing. It looks like it would be worth whatever it costs, but in the end it leaves you frustrated. It does not satisfy, in fact it leaves you wishing you had not spent the time or the money or the energy.
I need a Milk Tart!

Nice parallel Kurt!
You should try the Soweto "Walkie-Talkie" and then speak about the "taste" that sin leaves in your mouth such as would be the case in 2 Peter 2 vs 19-22.
I didn't even know you had a blog, Kurt! Now thanks to the prayer newsletter, I have it bookmarked and will keep up to date. I hope you're doing well and not giving Rachel and Amber TOO much trouble... give 'em some though... Fair is fair! hehe ;)
