I was having a great day (low carbing) until I found out hostess went out of business. Needless to say I bought one of everything of their products and sampled one of everything, while holding my knees to my chest in a fetal position, rocking back and forth. There goes my diet, and the dogs diets, today. Damn you hostess!

They'll be back. It's just a move by the company to get the union workers out and cheaper labor in. All business.0

Poor dog! don't give them twinkies

I sure hope so. Those allotted days where a Twinkie or CupCake or hoho are able to fit in are golden. That ****tastic sweet plastic taste of goodness and cancer. -sighs dreamily-
The dogs are on wellness for small breeds. I was a veterinary assistant. A piece of Twinkie won't do anything, unless your dog has had previous pancreatic attacks, is diabetic, overweight or obese. The majority of dog foods on the market are about as nutritious as a Twinkie that they eat anyway. Normally they snack on apples, carrots, melon, hard boiled egg, and once in a whole boiled organic meats.0 -

I'm pretty sure there are generic versions of Hostess products. Or better yet, you can probably find recipes to make them yourself. You won't be using chemicals like they do in those Hostess products.0

I never, I mean NEVER, bought twinkies for my kids (they're 14 &13 now) and I did today in case they would not get to taste that chemical cake and creamy goodness again for a while :laugh: I used to eat twinkies as a kid but they really tasted better to me back then. Or maybe being a kid all I cared about was getting that sugar rush in me.
BTW this isn't to say my kids haven't eaten them until now. Their dad and his family lets them eat them when they visit so they have had plenty of twinkies in their lifetime.0 -
Lol I bought all the twinkies I could find

I am so jealous right now. Everywhere is sold out. How much for one pack of twinkies?

I drove by the Hostess outlet store down the street and peeked in the window when it was closed tonight. Not one single box of any type of cake on the shelves. I'm so mad at myself for not getting there sooner.0

This is so sad! how could they go under? everyone loves them!0

the only thing sad about this is the lost jobs.
The good news is that (maybe) Americans would try and appreciate the local bakery good quality pastries more rather than the crap hostess was selling?0 -
Basically their labor went on strikes months ago, they went bankrupt and decided it is easier and cheaper just to shut down and fire all the labor.
Most likely they are just going to sell to another company because it is part of a bigger mega umbrella company and they will just basically sell it to themselves in a very confusing way like Kraft does with every thing.0 -
I ate a twinkie once when I was around 5 years old. I hated it and never ate another one. My life will go on without Hostess.
Unfortunately the same can't be said for those 18,000 workers...0 -

Yes, but will the delicious local bakery treats feed us during the zombie apocalypse?!?!?!0 -
hit the gym a bit more and stay on the bike/treadmill longer and stop beating yourself over the head about it0

Bow our heads in a moment of silence...but damn that Twinkie looks good

This reminds me of Zombieland where the guy goes around EVERYWHERE trying to find his damn Twinkie. This is our foreseeable future.0

My mother used to go to the Hostess outlet store here (when it was the Dolly Madison outlet store). She would stock up on all kinds of stuff, including Zingers and bread. The Zingers (just like Twinkies, but in different flavors) would go in our lunchboxes. All of this was stored in the garage freezer.0 -

I don't know if Hostess had any bakeries out here in CA. I suspect that the brands will be sold to another company. But will they be allowed to set up shop WITHOUT the union? Unlikely here, and if Boeing is any indication, the union will put up a fight.0 -

After the top brass got 80% pay increases they wanted to cut the workers pay in half...0

This is news to me, I only caught the TV news long enough to see the weather and traffic reports.
If I can find a pack of Twinkies and eat one and plant the other in my yard...will I have a Twinkie tree in a few months or will I still only have one little, dirt covered Twinkie???
Someone is bound to be hoarding them. And, maybe we will see them on eBay soon...HA! At a price...!
Even better, maybe someone will come up with a homemade recipe for a Twinkie-like snack that is healthy. Kind of like a generic medicine for a name brand...0 -
Ohhhhh - you HAD to go there!
Love it! While I usually stay away from hostess goodies.. I am still sad to see this iconic company go So many great childhood memories I hope the product lines live on... 0
