Twinkies Make Early Return at Wal-Mart Stores

Wal-Mart is making Twinkies available this weekend, even though Hostess says it asked retailers to wait until Monday to start selling the spongy yellow snack cakes.

The world's largest retailer announced Friday that the cakes were available at about 1,600 stores and that about 3,000 of its 4,000 U.S. stores should have them by Sunday morning. That's a day before the July 15 return that Hostess has trumpeted in its marketing.

I’ll bet “hardworking” Americans have already started camping out in front of Walmart so they can be the first in line. It’s “Black Friday” all over again. Watch for the stampedes and people getting beat up and trampled.

Twinkies...race riots.....Twinkies....race riots....decisions, decisions, decisions.

Can the release of Twinkies divert attention to the fiasco in Florida?

I wonder how many that were snapped up to turn for a profit on e-bay were eaten by the kids?

When do the EBT and SNAP cards get reloaded again?

Is Hostess stupid? Why would you let cakes get 3 days old before selling them? Even if they are loaded with preservative?

Hostess used to be some of the freshes tasting cakes you could find. Then they went stale. Stale cakes is what drove Hostess bankrupt in the first place.

Probably some of their remnant stock from 1956. For Twinkies, that passes for fresh. Man, I’ve always hated those things. They were cheap and ended up in lots of lunch sacks back in the day before universal school lunches.

Ah, the venerable Twinkies! I like them with peach slices and the peach syrup from the can poured over the mix. You can also make a no cook apple pie with Twinkies and apple pie filling. But putting a couple of dips of ice cream on two or three Twinkies is just decadent.
