Anybody remember a snack food called a "poor boy"

Hi Guys,

I have been trying to get my family to remember a snack food I used to eat but they don't seem to have any idea of what I am talking about.

It was always called a "poor boy" or "po boy" snack cake to me. It was an individually wrapped 1/2 of a little cake. The entire cake would have been about 6-8 inches across. It was a golden brown (like a well done pancake) color. Was sort of like a yellow cake taste with cinnamon and had raisins in it.

I loved those when I was growing up in Louisiana and would like to see a picture to convince my family not to commit me.

I was a kid in the 60's.

The package was a clear type sort of like a honey bun package.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks - poboy

Wasn't that the regional name of a type of sandwich (the one called "Sub", "hoagie", "grinder", etc. in different places?

not the sweet version but hey heres a pic

Actually this was a snack sold in stores just like a Honey Bun. I wish I could recall the maker but I can't. From 15 feet away you could even have thought it was a honey bun. Not a Hoagy or traditional Poboy type sandwich.

Perhaps it was something very regional to Northeast Louisiana.

Thanks anyway

Nothing like it in the Chicago area...sorry!
