A cylindrical chocolate cake with a cream swirl inside. Strong Bad's favorite snack food. Several other cast members seem to enjoy these as well.

They are a real food. They really do taste good, though as Homestar says, those things are bad for you. Find them at your local grocery store! Little Debbie Snacks, along with countless other manufacturers distribute them, doing their fair share- all in the name of senseless obesity.

Some of the places you'll find these are:

  • In invisibility, invisible Strong Bad steals a bunch of these from Bubs' Concession Stand, much to Bubs's dismay ("My chocolates! Come back chocolates! I didn't mean what I said!"). This event shows up again in personal favorites.
  • In The System is Down, the reason the page stopped working is because someone - probably Strong Bad - tried to cram-a-lam one of these into the disk drive.
  • At the end of 50 emails, the occasion is celebrated with a Swiss Cake Roll adorned with a "50" candle. This cake appears again in an easter egg at the end of big white face; it's one of the things added to The Poopsmith's cake.

Swiss Cake Rolls almost certainly originated as an inside joke on the site. The first ever mentioning of it was a couple years ago, when one e-mailed Strong Bad, one received an automatic response. He would say something about reading your e-mail after finishing off a box of Swiss Cake Rolls.
