Hostess Files for Bankruptcy

*Guitar_Raph* · 01-11-2012, 06:30 AM

A legendary company has filed for bankruptcy, something we all grew up eating.

Hostess Bakeries is feeling the pinch over healthy eating. Could mean curtains for Twinkie the Kid, Captain Cupcake & Fruit Pie the Magician. as well as Wonder Bread

My favorite Hostess snacks include Orange Cup Cakes, Fruit Pies (Apple, Blueberry, Strawberry, Chocolate) and Donut stix.

Over 20 years ago, Hostess even made TMNT pudding fruit pies for promoting the 1990 TMNT film.

I usually beat the cost of high prices & get my Hostess snacks @ a Hostess bakery thrift store. They had one nearby in Garland, but was shut down. Now I have to travel to the southwest side of Dallas just to get my Hostess cravings.

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?

*Candy Kappa* · 01-11-2012, 01:56 PM

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.

*Redeemer* · 01-13-2012, 04:59 PM

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

Probably because Little Debbie is still out there, fornicating with the Burger King and Jack in the Box over at McDonald's and White Castle.

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.

**GK Punk** · 11-16-2012, 06:54 AM

*BubblyShell22* · 11-16-2012, 08:43 AM
