Yeah that's expensive as fuck, but it's cheaper than most people are buying them for. Would rather buy them now and have them than crave one in a couple weeks and not be able to get one.


I got 10 boxes for that btw. So it's not like I paid 50+ for them. And honestly in a couple weeks people will probably be paying hundreds for them. Figured they last forever so YOLO


That is all. At the mountain when I go down to the lodge for lunch, I'll be enjoying a nice golden twinkie, jealous yet?

Double purpose. Twinkies make alright dildos. Unless they break off. . .

This is insanely stupid. Dear everyone: just because Hostess goes under does not mean there will be no more twinkies. Another company - say, General Mills, which owns Betty Crocker - will buy the Hostess IP and continue making twinkies. That is how this shit works. If there is still value in a brand, someone will carry it on.

Twinkies will not go back on sale untill they go on managed bankrupcy to get rid of the unions then get bought which could take a long time

I never liked them. Don't really see why everyone is freaking out also. most likely someone will buy the recipe and become a billionaire

when a company buys a brand name food like that and they make it in a different factory with mostly the same ingredients, so they wont taste the same from here on out

I had my first ever twinkie today. I live in the UK so i went to some american food shop and bought a lone twinkie. It cost me £1.69 (about $3). SO WORTH IT.

I'm surprised by how many people actually believe the myth that Twinkies have a shelf life longer than a month.

My husband and I thought we'd have a hostess friday night party and eat a bunch of hostess products until we felt sick. This morning we feel like shit and after checking ebay are regretting our decision. So I put our 7 remaining strawberry cupcakes and 7 zingers on ebay.

wtf is good about those things? I always knew twinkies were a stereotypical fat person food, but never really looked at what they were...

It looks like a stuffed doughnut to me...

this. twinkies don't actually stay good very long. just because they're the epitome of junk food doesn't mean they last forever.



not to mention, i think twinkies are a pretty meh snack choice. i hate that airy frosting in the middle
