“Hostess was a premium brand which fell out of relative favor during these tough times, with decent, close generics being easily had at the Wally World and other emporia.
If I were looking for a way to improve snack cakes it would be to come up with a near foolproof way to stop them sticking to the wrapper so bad that a layer peels off when unwrapping them.”
If you figure that out....you’ll make a million dollars lol.
I can live with the wrapper stickage....the petroleum taste....not so much lol.
Seriously I have to think that healthier diet awareness played a part. Didn’t Krispy Kreme take a major hit a few years ago?
Petroleum taste? Why, that’s only the very best of hyper-aerated hydrogenated cottonseed oil!

I read that in one of the financial sites last night. Part of the problem with Hostess - and why they might not get a buyer, so take that unionists - is that the country has changed and wants healthier snacks. Also, there is a ton of competition in the snack market. Hostess will be missed for about a month, then people will substitute with whatever they can get at their local stores and move on.
