They have changed since I was a lot younger. It used to come with a favor crystal for an extra kick. It was probably a citrus acid ball.

They don't go through the extra steps, now it's dump the cake mix in a bowl and add the water and bake.

It's awesome your mom could make them from scratch.

Oh yeah, as stated above I love to toast them in the oven before eating a slice.
