My local grocery store (in Iowa) was sold out of Twinkies by the time I got there. Got me some Ho-Hos for the Mrs, and a Lemon Pie for myself. I'm still running off the sugar high from the pie.
I'm saddened by this. My hometown had a hostess bakery, and it smelled good when they were baking. I grew up shopping in the hostess outlet, which closed long ago.

No, just a relatively remote part of Europe somewhere between Greece, Italy, and Hungary. :P
Oh, so you eat REAL food, the way nature intended? You couldn't handle the chemical dump confectionary then.:)I could mail you one, and it could get lost in the mail for several years...and arrive as fresh as the day it came out of the oven/labratory.:)I just have to do it once more,as a childhood nostalga thing.:(
"Almost"??? C'mon man. Go get one. Worst case you just let it sit while you decide whether or not to eat it. They do kinda last forever, you know. And if you decide not to, you could probably sell it on eBay as a collector's item some time down the line.
LOL!!!!
I can see it now... 25 years from now, my Grandkid walks into the Gold and Silver in Vegas...
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Bailout. Please. Someone. This is more important than anything.
I don't understand why they spend billions to bail out other industries but this... THIS VERY SYMBOL OF DISGUSTING AMERICAN FOOD-CULTURE does not qualify?
They saved goddarn CHRYSLER for gosh sakes, and CHRYSLER hasn't produced anything cool or worthwhile since 1971.
I demand as a tax payer we stop funding frivolous things like road construction, wars, educational grants and the like... and invest in America's snack future.
Without snacks... we as Americans will lose wight and become fit and healthy. That is NOT a country I want to live in. :mad:
One of my high school history teachers had a 25 year old twinkie that he kept in his desk. It looked as though he had just removed it from the wrapper, but it was rock hard.

At the risk of sounding political, there is actually a real petition in the works for this now. Mwahaha! Part of me really hopes it happens. Just to see what happens.
Apparently Hostess is auctioning off its more notable snacks to recoup some losses...the Twinkie isn't dead yet. My co-workers and I are already talking about pooling some money in an attempt to buy the rights to the Twinkie so that the legend lives on.

Years ago I had a friend who believed the old urban legend that they only produced Twinkies for a few years and stockpiled them to sell for decades. Actually managed to convince him to leave a box in his pantry for six months and then eat it.
He almost chipped a tooth, and then got three days of... shall we say "urgent bathroom needs." I got $50.

Shes holding the a serrated knife upside down at 1:16.
Anyway, I believe that someone will purchase the brand, but every union employee will be out of a job shortly.
