So, with the workers going on strike, the company decided to actually close down it's doors for good. This is like a part of my childhood dying.

Discuss the trauma, favorite hostess snacks and plans to horde up on them like it's a nuclear holocaust.

Me? I'm going today and stocking up on Strudel cakes, Twinkies, and those Apple Fruit Pie things.

NO!
T^T no other company makes those orange cream cupcakes. Those are the only hostess product that I will eat since I don't like twinkies.

That's horrible. D:
I wasn't horribly exposed to Hostess products growing up.
But I did like those chocolate cupcake things with the white squiggle on the top.
I forget what those were called.
><

I will miss those twinkees :(

Now this song will be playing as they depart from my life :(

I went out and stocked up on snack cakes. Most stores are sold out of twinkies by now, but I snagged a few packs.

I was also interview for the newspaper at the Hostess store. XD

...... holly hell.... *goes to cry in a corner* I probably should go to walmart and get some stuff....

OnO no more Ho-ohs ;-; dk is gonna go cry now

:U ..... *runs to the store to see if there are any left*

I'm gonna miss Ding Dongs :c

theye were out of nearly everything but i was told there is one more shipment going out, no idea who is getting it, i got 15 dollars worth of cupcakes XD five boxes and more than i have eaten in my life so far, i also tried a strawberry one, it is a shame, they are yummy

Given the health kick that's running through North America lately, this doesn't surprise me. Maybe some other company will pick up the recipes from Hostess so some stuff might make a return later.

Be optimistic, right?

most likely, i would not doubt is little debbie ate up the brand

I think its HILARIOUS. I do however, feel bad for those Zombie Apocalypse/end of the world believers who think Twinkies are the only thing that'll make it.

And, uh.. You guys DO know theres still Lil Debbie, right? They make the SAME shit, just better quality, from what I hear.

little debbie does /not/ make the same things, like half of it is hostess exclusive like the rolls and the donuts and the marshmallow balls and shit, and it depends, i have had both and some things hostess does better some not

Hostess does cupcakes. Lil Debbie, does cupcakes. Hostess does pies, Lil Debbies does pies. Either way, I think this whole thing is ridiculous. Its a SNACK COMPANY, its not a national crisis. But thats my opinion. I'd rather BAKE my own things, than spend countless dollars that don't come by like flies on shit on things like that. I know my mom though, will severely have a Susie Q's withdrawal after all of this is over. xD; Those, and the Orange Cupcakes were her downfall. -shakes head-

But I guess you gotta understand, I'm not into that kind of food. So I don't see the big deal. xD;

yeah, batty does not understand it, it is as much the death of the childhood for the last four generations of snack-cake eating americans as anythi gn, we are losing a brand, like if coke or pepsi left
