A Twinkie may survive forever, but the company may not.

Hostess are the highest priced packaged cup-cakes in the grocery store.

Have you tried a Twinkie recently? I did and I swear it was just awful. The company must have changed the recipe or something. The cake part was dry and the filling was grainy. Certainly tasted different than say... ten years ago. IMHO.

Now this takes the cake.

The Twinkie can be used to restart civilization after the SHTF.

I also think that Hostess changed the Twinkies recipe.

Back in the mid-1970s, nothing was better than a couple of Twinkies. I used to spend a good part of my newspaper delivery money on Twinkies. After school each day, I'd stop at the local variety store (this was before convenience stores) and get a root beer and a two-pack of Hostess Twinkies for the walk home. Those Twinkies were delicious, soft sponge cake exterior that would stick to your fingers and a tasty cream filling that would make your head spin (due to the sugar high).

Twinkies do not taste that way today.

Have you ever had one frozen? Delicious!! Honestly, this is very sad news and I mean that.

[Huskrrrr]

Twinkie the Kid rides no more. Sad.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Oh no! No twinkies at queer weddings?

[Gumdrop]

Forget the Twinkies. It’s the chocolate cupcakes filled with marshmallow that I’ll miaa. Also those choxolate, coconut covered snowball cupcakes that are dyed green for St. Paddy’s day.

[Dogbert41]

The power of suggestion. I haven’t had one in years. Probably won’t go through the night without getting one.

[JR97FLYERS]

Noooooooo!!!!!!!

The CAFTA trade agreement was supposed to put those rotten American sugar farmers with huge capital investment in harvesting and storage equipment out of business and allow ‘lower’ priced imports in from the Dominican Republic harvested by Haitian slaves. This they claimed, was going to be a great boon to America.

‘free traitin’ “free traders” do in another business and 19,000 jobs.

I hope this doesn’t mean I can’t have my favorite breakfast anymore. After all, even a garage full won’t last forever.

[RobertClark]

With the Hostess bankruptcy filing, hopefully all of these cupcakes disappear:

-Snowballs
-Twinkies
-LSU football team

[Larry Lucido]

But who will answer calls at Nakatome Plaza?

[freekitty]

I always liked Twinkles.

The finest dessert in the world is a frozen Hostess cupcake with a glass of cold, whole milk. Period!
