Yodels

Drake's snack cakes

Yodels is a brand of chocolate-covered cream-filled snack cakes made by Drake's, a staple of American lunch boxes and convenience stores.

The name likely plays on the Swiss yodel, though the connection to Alpine singing is purely whimsical.

I grabbed a pack of Yodels from the vending machine.
