Posted November 16, 2012 Hostess Brands Inc. says it's going out of business on November 16 after striking workers across the country crippled its ability to make its Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Wonder Bread and other snacks. next to my atf, some of my favorite things in the world are Twinkies, Zingers, Ding Dongs, Suzy-Qs, etc. i will tell you a secret tho - there's a local bagel place that makes the world's best chocolate cake donuts. pm me if you want to sweeten your session a little . . . 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 16, 2012 Their problem is eating habits have changed because parents no longer let their children eat junk food. I used to get a cupcake in my lunch or as a snack until mealtime. Parents no longer apease kids with junk food. This is why Sprouts and Whole Foods are expanding in this economy. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 16, 2012 My guess is that someone will buy the name out and start manufacturing all of the products again. Or the company will wait for the smoke to clear and start again.....probably non-union this time . I would miss those (strawberry) Zingers the most.......Yum. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 16, 2012 Sad to report and confirmed. Just got back from 2 large chain grocery stores. Zero, zip, nada a single one left on shelves. Either they cleared 'em or frantic foodophiles have cleaned the shelves. I saw a group of housewives gathered about the shelves chatting about it & one even nearly in tears. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 17, 2012 Crap! This is some depressing news! Now what the hell am I going to do with my Twinkie carrier? Yeah, I actually have one. It keeps those little rascals from getting squished in my backpack. I own pastry armor. What does that say about my dietary habits? My body is a temple. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
