    Strange Request Looking For Nickles Bakery Banana Flips

    Here's a strange request for the forum members....

    My 83 year old father remembers eating Banana Flips, having them in his lunch in school.

    I've tracked him down Pearl Beer (Shipped from Texas), and Hydrox Cookies (Oreo copied them). But cannot find Banana Flips

    Apparently they are still made, but not sold online or direct from Nickles Bakery.

    Supposedly they are found in local bakeries in the Ohio, Pennsylvania and parts of West Virginia.

    If anybody happens to see these and would grab a dozen or so and be able to ship them to Virginia I would really appreciate it as would my dad.

    or if you can tell me where to buy them online that's appreciated too.

    I am more than willing to pay for the flips, shipping and your time to do this.

    I have no issue sending you reimbursement by Paypal before you ship them also.

    Thanks in advance for any help from Everybody

    This is what I'm after:

    Looks like they were produced by Dolly Madison which was bought out by Hostess in 2012. So, you can find banana twinkies but not banana flips.

    I found these recommended as a substitute: https://www.sunrisebakery.com/product/banana-flip/

    I have no stake in this but let's just say I'm impressed by your bakery-sleuthing!
