Ohh.. Strudel Cakes.. I'm going to miss those, too. >:

It's true that someone will buy the Hostess snack recipes and all that, but it's more saddening as something dear to childhoods is dying. Sure, it'll taste like a twinkie, but it won't be a twinkie, if that makes sense.

Like Little Debbie makes "Angel Fingers" or something. Looks like a twinkie, smells like one... all intents and purposes, it kind of is. But it's not Hostess.

I'm just sentimental like that.

Makes sense Dai. I'm kinda flashing to the guy from Zombieland (can't remember his name) who is searching for Twinkies the entire movie. (just as a general idea to what some people will be like now that it is discontinued)

Eh. I never really did Hostess. Always been poor. XD I love Little Debbies, and I'd kinda be upset if they went out of business, but I'd take it as a sign that I should stop eating so much junk.

And since they aren't going out of business... Junk it is! :D

NO! DON'T MAKE ME BUY GENERIC TWINKIES!! NOOOOO!!!1111one1111
But for real, I can live with generics. sucks they're closing though.

Tallahassee will be displeased... Any ways, alot of people are i have noticed alot of panic over this, the other companies who compete with hostess are still in business meaning the non name brand ones are still selling..

I watched Zombieland for the first time the other day with a package of twinkies to commemorate the occasion.

I feel like a fat kid with my horde of hostess cakes.

I haven't had a Hostess Twinkie in forever, and it looks like I'll never be able to have one again :(

unless a mexican company buys out hostess because of their cheap sugar cost

I managed to get the very last box of those chocolate cupcakes with the white swirl icing on top from my local grocery store.

Apparently some companies in Canada already own the rights and trademarks for some Hostess Canada recipes, so we will still have Twinkies, Cupcakes, and Wonderbread at the very least since those companies made them to start with. One of the advantages of international business I suppose, but I can still imagine it not being the same.

And now apparently they're in talks again and might not shut down at all.

I usually eat Little Debbies anyway >.>

Little Debbie apparently makes Swiss Rolls, but they aren't the same as the ones I remember getting as a kid. I can't seem to find those ones. I used to get them at the local gas station corner store.

Moon Pies are better...and they're made in my state. I SUPPORT...semi LOCAL BUSINESSES XD (Any part of Tennessee is very local compared to China :3)

And Hostess did it to see about the insanity it would cause XD

It's funny because it never even occurred to me to like, go stock up on snack cakes. I guess I just don't care enough about them? I hardly ever eat Hostess snacks at all, and I didn't really think about it until recently when people on Facebook were flipping out over it.

Due to this, I've like become addicted to Moon Pies now (eating my snack cake before they shut down XD If they did, I might just cry. Literally)

I saw that those talks didn't work.

Kind of makes me sad as my wedding cake was a twinkie cake.

I don't know if that wedding cake is awesome or disgusting. I really don't.

But I probably wouldn't eat it since I hate twinkies...thanks to high school. This one kid bullied me and shit about me being fat saying shit like why don't you eat another twinkie? Bad thing is, he wasn't exactly the right weight either.

yeah my mom told me about that she was complaining since it is also in charge of the bread she really likes wonder bread
she stocked up on it some...

I totally have been on a sugar free diet so didn't make any exceptions on eating some... I figure some and my mother think I'm crazy for that
but if I remotely even remember the taste then I'd be wanting to eat as much as mom and my sisters are
will miss it though hope someone can buy or help keep some parts of the company
would be nice to keep them around

I was never that big a fan of twinkies, but I did like the chocolate cupcakes. :c

I just went to eBay and amazon for some out of wonder they are being sold at a premium price

Oh.. Yeah. Mom told me about that. I don't really care, cause I don't eat their food. I'm not surprised, though. A lot of businesses have been shutting down.

I never really liked twinkies, but I've noticed that Little Debbie has tons of stuff just like the Hostess stuff that is gone, now.. so I'm sure eventually all of the twinkies and stuff will just be made by other companies now that Hostess doesn't hold the rights to the exact recipe anymore..

Hostess still holds the rights to making them until they sell them which is what they're doing and whoever buys it will make Twinkies...just not with the Hostess name necessarily.

I've never actually had Twinkies, or anything else Hostess has made. So I can't say that I particularly mind Hostess shutting down.
