Hostess foolishly ruined their products when they went cheap and changed the fillings in a lot of their products. I also remember the old Twinkies back in the ‘70s—they were delicious and cost about 15 cents a package. I think they thought no one would notice and that people would buy them anyway. Many people my age don’t think they have changed and that they taste the same, which tells me that they probably didn’t enjoy them that much because if they did they would have noticed the difference decades ago. Same for Suzi-Q’s, ding dongs, and the cupcakes. Now they cost about $1.50 and taste like grease. I never buy any of these any more. If they went back to the old recipe I would definitely buy them. Same with Chips Ahoy cookies. They used to have a sweet, distinct taste-now they taste like cardboard and the chocolate is cheap and they taste like all of the other brands out there. Awful.
What a shame.
