"A big delight in every bite!"

Fancy Lad Snack Cakes are a consumable item in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Fallout 3

 * Some Fancy Lads Snack Cakes can be found in the Megaton house and the Tenpenny Tower suite after purchasing the pre-War theme.

Fallout: New Vegas

 * Fancy Lads Snack Cakes are commonly sold by most food vendors in the Mojave Wasteland.
 * Kings gang members will sometimes comically comment on the food saying "I'd give anything for a Fancy Lad. Wait, I mean- you know what I mean!"

Behind the scenes

 * Fancy Lads Snack Cakes are possibly based on Little Debbie Snack Cakes. However, Little Debbie was not around in the 1950s (the time period style of the Fallout universe), and instead came to be ten years later in 1960.
 * It may also be a reference to Hostess Brand Twinkies; invented in 1930, they would have been around in the 1950s. Additionally "twinkie" or "twink" is dated slang for a male homosexual, as is "fancy lad", hence the Kings' quote above.
