Hi `Chris,
Funny & Sad Thread Thanks for sharing!
I've never had a twinkie or Hostess Products. (They didn't have them on my planet )..I feel sad for the loss of jobs for many & I hope someone buys the company and hires the employee's back.

How comes everything that taste good is bad for your health They must be addicting ? Many of the employee's I work with state that they are going to miss their Twinkie's

I seriously don't get it. They were a nasty snack, no matter how drunk I ever got. Hostess made crappy products even crappier! From what I can understand, the trans fat laws did them in .... thanks ol' President What's his name and that Mayor What's his name in New York who declares war on things that he has no business doing....

I figured shutting down would get the negotiations going. I wasnt worried at all. I think they will be back on the shelf in no time. I don't buy them much but when I do I get these.




apperently they are all the same thing just named different in different regions to not conflict with other products at the time
I also like these
