Twinkies lives... under new management!

*Raph's Girl* · 12-21-2012, 07:41 PM

Proof it's not the end of the world. Twinkies will be back in the spring under new ownership!

New owner could be Wal-Mart or Kroger.

Wal-Mart or Kroger makes sense, but it's too bad if they'll only be available in one particular brand of stores.

I was thinking that Little Debbie might make a play for the Hostess brands, even though LD already sells many similar products under different names.

Yeah, I thought maybe Little Debbie would get it, too, which would be good for my aunt as she works for LD. But, hey, I'm not worried about it anyway, as I'm buying Little Debbie stuff to support my aunt.

Reminds me of this character in Zombieland that was obsessed about Twinkies and how happy he was when he found a whole bunch of them.

T'hell with Twinkies. I want my Zingers.

*BubblyShell22* · 12-23-2012, 08:28 AM

Can't argue with you there, PD. Zingers rule.

And it's official. Twinkies will be back on the shelves by the summer. They're now owned by pollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co which also owns Pabst beer.

Yep, I heard about this the other day. That's good news for the fans of Twinkies.

Umm...Twinkies are still everywhere around here. Is this a States-only thing?

It's an internet-only thing. Like anyone gave a sh*t about Twinkies until the company went bankrupt.

I haven't had a Twinkie in over 10 years.

yeah...never really cared for twinkies all that much. growing up Tastykakes, Drakes, and Little Debbies were always my favorites. though i was fond of the tmnt pudding pies, hostess chocolate cup cakes, and ho ho's.
