Life without Twinkies?

[chocolatepuppy]

I hate twinkies.. they are gross. But I love the sno-balls!

I ate my last globall last night. I wonder if there's any left in the store?

[Alysser]

Is is sad that I've never eaten a Twinkie before? I've had some Hostess snacks, but never a twinkie.

Hostess goes Mexican????

Seriously - I heard on the news this a.m. that a Mexican company is buying Hostess out - or is considering it anyway.

Does this mean that chopped jalapenos will be mixed in with the creme filling in Twinkies, or perhaps Snoballs will be sprinkled with chili powder rather than coconut???

Oh my!!!!!..............

[momcat]

I've been following this on the news, it's sad to see Hostess go after growing up with them. We knew Wonder bread by the red, yellow and blue balloons on the wrapper, I loved the Snoballs, chocolate cream filled cupcakes, and the orange cupcakes when I could find them. And no more Devil Dogs? I can remember when the Snowballs and cupcakes went for a dime and Devil Dogs cost a nickel.

I used to love that stuff as a kid. Then I became a chemist...

With one dollar - made up of bottles we redeemed - we could by a 35 cent ham submarine, RC Cola and a package of Sno-Balls.

There was music that was the soundtrack of our youth, but Hostess Sno-Balls were the treats to grow up on.

You spent a good while sucking the coconut outta your teeth after a package.

Yummy!

Oh no, I don't like spicy food! Spicy snoballs?

According to today's news, the Bankruptcy court judge has ordered both side to go to mediation and try to work things out. Not sure but I think it's scheduled for Tuesday with another court hearing set for Wednesday. Store owners are saying that Twinkies are literally flying off the shelves.

We didn't have Devil Dogs in California and if we saw one?

It was neutered....

[RICHARD]

Who created this mess
the end of our beloved Hostess?
Twinkies are gone
To the delight of some moms
And the end of all of the rest...

Devil Dogs euthanized
Sno-balls excised
from the planet for good?
It doesn't help out my mood!
Ho-Ho's disappear from the streets
Never to seduce us with their sweet
Call to seduction
With the reduction
Of the chocolate treats......

The news has done said
That twinkies will made
Not send to limbo
Should they be made by Bimbo
And from out hearts they will not fade.......

(bad rhymes, but i was inspired....)

Obviously, there's still hope for those who love them:

Twinkies May Not Die: Hostess, Union Trying To Resolve Issues

[RICHARD]

If it's true, will Twinkies die?
But what about the Hostess pies?
The fruit stuffed pastries, flaky dough
Made of ingredients we don't know!
The icing sweet, why does it linger?
and the crumbs all on my fingers.
the filling sweet, so gooey too
Just one bite, elevates my mood
If they disappear I'll really scream
And then drown my sorrow with Krispy Kremes.......

[pomtzu]

Take the yuckie Twinkies, but PLEASE - not the cherry pies!!

[RICHARD]

Could this be a real swan song
For my chocolatey sweet round Ding Dongs?
Iced sweet puck of Devil's food
If they go, will I brood?
Cry a river, drown in sorrow
We'll have to wait until tomorrow....
The judge will try to mediate
Will his work be too late?
I pray for reprieve please don't take
My all-time favorite chocolate cake......
