Get your Twinkies while you can!

I suspect some of these things may be collector's items in the future, so if you find a Hostess product, buy it and keep it sealed up.

Twinkies are good forever anyway.

Its Over

That's how my work looks as of this morning. So long Hostess, wasn't a fan but as a long running company in pop culture, it'll be missed.

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

Good riddance.

its over

grab those bastards while you can!

Some of the families around here are going to starve to death now, based on their shopping carts.

Seems fitting...

Pretty messed up that Twinkies disappear just after pot is legalized.

If they could have just waited a few months then they'd be financially solvent again

The problems with the Hostess company has been at least a decade in the making. The union activity was the straw that broke the camel's back, but was not the main cause of it.

But as I mentioned before, I'd be surprised if another food company doesn't swoop in to buy some of these assets, including the Twinkies brand name, for cents on the dollar.

 

[KevanG]

I know. I was making fun of them going under when pot was legalized. But I'm sure there'll be twinkies from some company or another soon enough.

Forget the Twinkles, this means no more Cup Cakes and Suzy-Qs.

Never care for these two; Ding-Dong is where it's at.

It's like a stoner version of The Gift of the Magi.

I tried to get a Twinkie or other food-like Hostess item for the last time at the gas station and then the Target all by my house, and everything Hostess was completely ravaged. I ended up getting two GIANT Reese's at Target...

...which are gonna be way better than Twinkie's anyway.

 

[terry78]

Collector's items, I called it.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

I've had people asking me all day at work if we had any Twinkies left, we sold out yesterday over 200 boxes in one day... crazy

 

[Lencho01]

Part of me wants this to be one messed up marketing ploy.

 

[The Guard]

Apparently a Mexican company called Bimbo might be considering purchasing the rights to make Twinkies and bringing them back (And has been since the early 2000's). Probably under the name Blonde Bimbos or something...but hey...

[Darthphere]

You've never heard of Bimbo?

 

[Lencho01]

It'd be great marketing to "bring it back."

i kinda had a feeling that Hostess would have gotten bought by Bimbo. they make damn good pastries!

 

[ShredderX]

Damn..... Hostess. If Krispy Kreme ever goes out of business, it will truly will be the Apocalypse.

damn, how can ANYONE eat those donuts?!?... years ago here in Chi, when they used to be here before they all folded, whenever I ate that stuff, all that super-sweet s**t in it and on it seemed to make my teeth wiggle...
