Hostess Files for Bankruptcy
 

We don;t have Hostess here in Norway, but the commercials in old superhero comics are gems

Those Twinkies ads in the comics are campy yet entertaining to say the least. They are in almost all of the 1970s and early 1980s comics I own. What was the exact timeframe these appeared in comics if anyone knows?

I don't know, but I think some where in some of the the 60's X-Men issues

you think with news like this people would be thinner, but no, still fatasses EVERYWHERE

Those Hostess comics are still more intelligently written than anything Marvel have produced in the last decade.

Hey, GR, can't you get Hostess products in any of your local stores? They sell them everywhere. Hell, Mom and I just got some Hostess Zingers today. Those are my favorites. I also like the cupcakes.

Popular flavors are sold in grocery & convienient stores for over $1. But I don't mind traveling that far just to get Hostess products for 75 cents. The Donut Stix, Strawberry & Blueberry Fruit Pies are thrift shop exclusives.

This also marks my 1,200th post.

Ah, I see. I didn't know that.

However, you actually save no money by traveling further out of way. You spend it all instead in gas.

We all can't have Gilligan or Twiggy shaped bodies. What would football linebackers look like if they were thin?
Sorry, I leave the driving to public transportation (DART in Dallas). It's only a $4 Day pass to get there.

I doubt if Hostess will be closing up for good. I am betting they will be around for years to come. Jst with a new company in control

At least I hope. I might travel to the local hostess store jst to pick up some cupcakes or zingers

Yep...Hostess the only company that produces food that makes people fat. Heck, eating too much of any food can make you fat.

No more Twinkies? Bummer. :P

*pours out chocolate nesquik for yodels*

What are we going to do for food after Armageddon? :-?

I love their orange cupcakes. I rarely eat junkf ood anymore but now I may have to go buy a couple orange cupcakes just in case I never get them again haha.

Yep, heard about this. So sad. Hostess was a good company. Loved the Zingers and the chocolate cupcakes.

No Zombieland reference from anyone? Come on, guys.

Dang now what do I take for desert?

Not to stop all the hi-larious 'no more twinkies' jokes but Hostess is selling off everything. Twinkies will still be sold, they'll just be by Little Debbie or some crap.

I could see Little Debbie or another company scoopin in

I think I'm going to go to the store at the gas station by my building and pick up some Twinkies.

By the way, Twinkies were buried inside of the Nickelodeon time capsule back in 1992, on April 30th.

Funeral
 

That's cool

That's cool. They might need to do anther one

I'd better stock up on Twinkies, or I'll never be able to have this delicious treat again!



*Adam "oldman" Winters beat me to the reference on FaceBook...but not here, dang it!

I already think Wal-mart makes better twinkies than Hostess... As long as SOMEBODY keeps making cream-filled sponge cakes I'm good. I don't want to turn into that guy from Zombieland.

Lol there's Ai's zombieland reference

my only concern is what will the Ghostbusters use to measure the size of their containment unit... "that's one big twinkie!"

Yeah, Wal-Mart has the generic brand of Twinkies.

And as for Little Debbie, my aunt said she wants them to make something similar to Suzy Q's since she's always liked them and since she works for Little Debbie. We said she should appeal to her boss. Maybe something will come of it.

Most generic brand things like the Wal-Mart Twinkies are made by the companies that make the name brand.....so Wal-Mart Twinkies may be extinct too.

Too bad no one would give. Sh!tty management and unionized unskilled labor that made more than I do in my salaried office job and wanted more. Now they got no jobs.
