I read a lot of stories about this Company and it has been mismanaged for years, definitely not the unions fault...  that said...

I f*ckING LOVE ORANGE CUPCAKES!

I went store to store today to find one and they were all sold out.  Everyone went on a mad rush for Hostess, because they might not be around anymore.

My assumption is the brand is too strong and it will be liquidated.  The Twinkie and cupcake products are too popular to disappear.  My only fear is they are made in China going forward and I run the risk of poison water cupcakes.

I'm LOVING the idiots hoarding/overpaying for Twinkies, and Ho' Ho's.  Like they won't be back in some form, from some company if Hostess completely disolves.   Besides the products have been downsized, and dropped in "quality" (filling, etc) for years now.

The products are still going to be made, they'll just be made by someone else. And yeah, the quality has really taken a nosedive over the years... not that they were ever of high quality to begin with, but it went from bad to worse about ten years ago and never came back.

I predict $100+ boxes of twinkles on eBay. $105 if you want the box to be mint condition. $150 for VGA grading... Nuff said.

As long as Zingers come back.


Some of the strikers bitched that they're out of jobs now.

That's funny, cause, you know, they were striking and all.

Make up your minds, retards.    Have a plan B for when your strike fails to get what you want.


Im going to miss going to the Hostess outlet to buy redlined twinkies and zingers for 10 cents a pack.

Yeah, Zinger's are awesome.  I love Ding Dong's & those organg cupcakes.  I think those pies with "cherry" filling, etc. were also Hostes, I love those! 


Oh, & Choco-diles!
