The story · 1987

The story of Tri-Tilt Snack Cakes

Tri-Tilts came two to a pack, tilted against each other like a little pyramid. The pink stripe tasted like strawberry, the blue stripe tasted like blue, and nobody needed more explanation than that. The pro move was nibbling all three corners first, then sipping the cream out of the middle like a very polite hummingbird.

Fun fact

A Tri-Tilt left in a desk over summer break looked exactly the same in September, which teachers found deeply concerning.
