Well, Hostess bakery is going out of business. That means Twinkies are about to go out of style (until some other company buys the rights...nestle, starbucks). I feel like woody harrelson today.

What irks me is the people going crazy over hostess stuff. Some moron over on ebay paid $650 for a Twinkie lunchbox, and boxes of hostess stuff are going for hundreds of dollars.

Do they not realize that all the first assets Hostess will sell off are the rights to make Ho-Hos, Ding-Dongs, Twinkies, etc.?

Besides, they haven't made the best snack, Tiger Tails in forever

Mark, you know Tiger Tails are just jazzed up Twinkies, don't you?

[Black Jack Rackham]

yes but the 'jazzed up' is the reason they go from "meh" to "AWESOME!"

[salamanca]

Call me when they bring back the "bingles".

Homemade Twinkies

Those are not full of chemical preservatives that make them taste so good.

[Rebecca Iavelli]

Well Dave, you could always dip them into high fructose corn syrup and they would get all the chemical preservatives it needs. Add red dye #5, and you would get Mark's Tiger Tails.

Corn syrup is a sugar substitute, not a preservative. And outside of the cane sugar industry, science types will tell you it's no worse for you than sugar.

[Rebecca Iavelli]

LOL, yeah, I know, but the horror stories you read about it, makes you think its just as bad as the preservatives, and put it on thick enough it should create a nice hard shell.
