'''Suzy Q's''' are an American brand of [[snack cake]] produced and distributed by [[Hostess Brands]] similar to the [[Drake's Cakes|Drake's]] Devil Dog. The oblong sandwich, of either [[devil's food cake]] or banana-flavored cake with white crème filling, was invented in 1961 and named after the daughter of [[Continental Baking Company]] President William J Sellhorn. <ref name="hostess">{{cite web|author=|date=|title=Suzy Q - Here's to You!|url=http://www.hostesscakes.com/suzyqs.asp|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051211170537/http://www.hostesscakes.com/suzyqs.asp|archive-date=2005-12-11|work=hostesscakes.com|publisher=Hostess Brands, Inc.|accessdate=16 August 2010}}</ref>{{Better source needed|date=September 2021}} The cake was initially discontinued in 2012, but was reintroduced in 2015, although with a different look.<ref>{{Cite web|title=SPOTTED ON SHELVES: Hostess Suzy Q's|date=25 September 2015 |url=https://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/wordpress/2015/09/25/spotted-on-shelves-hostess-suzy-qs/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210224203334/https://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/wordpress/2015/09/25/spotted-on-shelves-hostess-suzy-qs/|archive-date=2021-02-24}}</ref> However, after backlash from fans, the original cake was reintroduced in 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|title=They're back!
