Twinkies maker Hostess is going out of business
 
No more Twinkies!!! those are good.. pretty heavy... but gooooood...

"George Weston Ltd. of Toronto counts Wonder Bread among its brands while Montreal-based Saputo has rights to the Hostess brand but doesn’t include Twinkies among its current lineup of snack cakes."

They said that another company will buy the twinkies recipe and keep making it, so the world isn't coming to an end... :p

may be cause i'm asian...but I never saw the hype of twinkies...

Is it one of those sentimental food that you grew up with...but actually isn't that great at all?

Exactly what it is. Like those crappy Garden brand snacks my wife likes because of nostalgia , but they are actually horrible :fuckthatshit:

Skinnypupp nailed it on the head for me. I haven't had a twinkie in well over 15 years but because there's this memory of it from being a kid I will go buy it this weekend and have a couple even though they really aren't that great.

vafanculo 11-16-2012 09:23 AM

Unless I had one at a young age, I just don't remember having a twinkie before. Might see what all the hype is later today and try one.

Which one is the go to flavour?

Jason00S2000 11-16-2012 10:26 AM

I ate a pack back in my truck driving days, I had explosive diarrhea at the 7-11 at Scott Road and like 92nd

They won't stop making Twinkies.
Move the factory, Hire cheap labour and keep producing them.

Lol, for me it's those cherry and apple pies. The sentiment tastes better than the product.

Yeah and I'm sure a lot of those 'french' snacks made by i-mei in taiwan when I was a kid was a far cry to the real thing...probably asian-ized to death but i love them.

Actually I tried flan for the first time the other day...way too sweet for my tastes...the consistency just doesn't stack up to the tongyi puddings..I was just getting desparate because I havent had them for like 5 years now :okay:
