I think they likely used to use cane sugar to make Twinkies.

I tried a pair a couple of years ago and found them a weak phantom of their former selves (like when I wuz a kid).

Don’t worry, the Chinese LOVE them, and will buy the company out and rename them “Chinkies”.

Nevermind the Twinkies, but there is no match out there for Hostess chocolate cupcakes!

The sugar glaze on the fruit pies is splotchy and scratchy. The Funny Bones (under Drakes name) have less Penut Butter Creme filling. The Blueberry Fruit Pies have disappeared altogether.

I ate two twinkes just now, the first in my life.

They were far from good.

No wonder they are failing......... products are inferior

Another victim of Husseinonomics.

I saw a CNN story about this today by some reporter named Jeannie Mose, who was making fun of the company going out of business.

See, under Hussein, it is HILARIOUS when companies go under. But under Bush it was a tragedy.

Probably not. There’s a big mexican baked-goods company called “Bimbo” that recently bought out Sara Lee. I wouldn’t be surprised if they grab Hostess, given the chance (assuming they don’t already own it). I’ve been in Hostess thrift shops a couple of times, and saw Bimbo items for sale there, so there may already be a connection.

It will be if Michelle Obama has her way.

Since it’s established that Twinkies have a shelf life exceeding 25 years and that may well be longer than I have.....my bomb shelter is stocked accordingly.
