Is Little Debbie about to retire your favorite snack? A tweet posted by America's top snack cake brand certainly suggested so, and people were not happy.


"Which one?" the Little Debbie Twitter account tweeted Thursday. Accompanying the tweet was a picture with the words "one gotta go forever" above the images of four of the snack brand's favorite cakes – Christmas Tree Cakes, Nutty Buddys, Oatmeal Creme Pies and Honey Buns.

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.

And one Twitter user had one simple reason as to why Honey Buns should be spared a perilous fate: Beyoncé.


Another warned the company not to touch the Nutty Buddys.

author R.L. Stine even got in on the action, tweeting "save the oatmeal cream pies. I need them!"

But before you panic, just know that it has been confirmed a hoax. All four of the snack cakes in question are perfectly safe from being shelved for good.

"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.
