I have never seen a Tastycake truck. :p

Current Challenge: (#576) Your TDI with a 'Tastycake' delivery truck
Funny part is we usually live near Philly. Home of Tastycake. Even have a factory there. Never seen a truck either.

I move to VA. And my neighbor drives a Tastycake truck.

Go figure!:cool:

I've seen the trucks before, but it has been awhile. Need to go driving a bit to see what I can find.

It will be hard to find one. They are all owner operator so they don't normally plaster it all over their truck. Usually it just says it small on the door or the bottom corner of the box. As far as people not having them in their area, They were recently bought out by Flowers Bakery, which is like the second biggest commercial Baker in the world (next to the one I work for, Bimbo Bakeries USA, which is the biggest), so they will most likely be expanding the coverage area for tastycake.

Interesting times here on the ol game thread....not bad, but hey, it's winter. This is our first winter too, uncharted waters so to speak. :)

Makes my list less out of date for a longer time though, handy when life gets busy.:eek: I've already driven over 2400 miles this month, at maybe 33 mph! :rolleyes:

The Munsters :eek:

Remind me not to hire you as my publicity agent! :p

Me either. But one never knows, one may roll through here.

So are you saying any delivery truck that delivers Tastycakes qualifies? Quiktrip has them for a while a few years ago, I could get a pic of one of those....

THE FOLLOWING IS IN RESPONSE TO THE WHOLE THREAD AND EVERYONE WHO EVER ACCIDENTALLY CLICKED ON IT EVER, EVER:


We used to make more of a faff about how "regional" we should try to make the challenges.

After five hundred or so, it's okay and likely necessary to worry less about how universal they are for everyone to get all the time, I just wanted to state the above observation. Take it for what you will. :)

Impossible, a cylinder doesn't have any straight sides.

Yes the edges need to be parallel.
Here are some examples of the type of tower.

I haven't visited this thread in a while, so this is a week old, but there's also another "HOLLYWOOD" sign in the town of Hollywood, Ireland about 20 miles SSW of Dublin in County Wicklow. We were on vacation so we didn't have our TDI, but here's a pic.

Yes that's a win. I like your first picture better though. All you needed was a paint brush :D There was already a ladder there :eek:
Insert mandatory Jeff Foxworthy quote:

"If you've ever climbed a water tower with a bucket of paint to defend your sisters' honor... you might be a red neck."

Been up that water tower many times, used to work there 25 years ago. I liked the first picture better too. Too bad no name it's a private tower.


Example picture.




Current Challenge (#578): Your TDI next to a building with a vehicle on top of it. No parking garages.
