Now we're not talking about Tylenol here. No one every poisoned the Hostess sugar.

And thats just one of the many auctions.

Edit: after checking a bunch of those auctions, they are all from the same seller, he is going to get rich off of those damn things!

That sold for 202 USD so it's 56 cents/piece if it's 6x60. How much they were in stores?

No,No 60 cakes total. One box in stores were $2.50 to $3.50 depending on sales so @ $2.50 when I would buy them that would be a $15 investment turned into $202.

You would think there was a golden ticket floating around in a box of Twinkies.

Dont know how they're managing it, if you look at completed listings, most are selling for much less or not at all. How are people so stupid?

Just a little hyperbole, but still. Their products are terrible things to put into your body.

Terribly delicious, maybe. But then again I consider most vegetables poisonous.
