“when they just stop making Twinkies?”
Admittedly, I didn’t/don’t buy sugary snacks or white bread for my family, but I guarantee the niche left by Hostess products will be filled by (with?) Little Debbies or the like-no one will be jonesing for that stuff for long...
Pan Bimbo, anyone?
If I want something sweet I share a dessert with DH while out to dinner or I buy some expensive chocolate and ration it out to myself. That junk food just does not appeal to me. I bake once or twice a month for the fire station, but not any more than that. I will bake for Thanksgiving and holidays as well. DH buys that junk and eats it, I shun it. I will not buy it for him, either.
(OK...full disclosure: I was stressed beyond reason...my heart kept racing (PACs really). I spent a day or two eating butterfingers around Halloween recently. It didn’t really help my stress but the sugar high gave me momentary relief. ;^) Butterfingers and I have since called off our affair. No bitterness, no regrets.)
I said to my family that it wouldn’t surprise me if Bimbo decided to sell Penguinos and such here to fill the Hostess void.
