Twitter users immediately rose to the challenge of defending their favorite Little Debbie snack.
One Twitter user warned that if Nutty Buddys or Christmas Tree Cakes weren’t saved Little Debby would have to be answering to her children.
Get rid of the oatmeal cream pies. If you discontinue the Nutty Bars, or the Christmas Tree cakes, my children might go “Lord of the Flies” on you, and it would be YOUR fault.

Another warned the company not to touch the Nutty Buddys.
You can take the tree, the buns and even the sandwiches, but for God sakes, DONT TAKE THE NUTTY BUDDIES! #OneGottaGo https://t.co/k9NLguDqVy

“None of the products we listed on the Twitter post are in danger of going away,” Mike Gloekler, a spokesperson for Little Debbie’s parent company McKee Foods, told TODAY Food. “Our Little Debbie social media team thought it would be fun to get in on the #OneGottaGo Twitter meme, which asks a fairly tough question — if you had to live without one of four things you really love, which would it be?”
Gloekler also added that something major would have to happen for one of the beloved snack cakes to be retired for good.
