Heard something about this on the radio this morning. It sounds like a lot of the products will still be available up here in Canada, not that I ever eat any of them.

I never eat them anymore but I did just have a package that I bought a little while ago along with mountain dew and was playing some chic and now I'm in the battling more than o am playing the game. Damn those are gross now. I should just keep my childhood cravings just stay a memory. I'm going to do ot in the gym tomorrow. I also went to a "7 eleven" type store and they jacked up the prices on hostess and drakes. Wtf 5.00 for a box of cup cakes?

I never cared for Twinkies when I was growing up. I think all of the Hostess products were terrible except for maybe the little coffee cakes. Good riddance!

I'm pretty sure someone will buy the name and continue making them. Remember that Mother's cookies went under a few years ago too. I was a bit sad as I like Mother's Circus Animal cookies every now and then and also the lemon iced cookies. If Mother's was scooped up and brought back to life as a brand, so will major Hostess things like Twinkies, Ho Hos, and the cupcakes at the very least.

These things are so easy to make, it's idiot-proof. I'm not all that worried.

I've never cared for Twinkies, or much made by Hostess in general.

Now, if Little Debbie were to go out of business, that'd be another matter. I love me the occasional Fudge Brownie and Swiss Roll. Yummy.

My heart is breaking the only good memory i have left of childhood with the b###h
that spawned me. My dad would drop me at her house so i could walk to school and she would feed me twinkies for breakfest then make me walk 6 blocks to the elementary school cause she was already to drunk to drive.
I remember a few years back when they did the banna twinkies they were awesome.
