Awwwwww! Twinkies is Bankrupt!

[samrhett2]

Does that mean I won't be able to get Ding Dongs anymore?   

[sigmapi1501]

That is funny if its a double entendre.

[cloudsoup]

lol, i wonder if that has anything to do with the whole
country going on a "diet" as a new year's resolution?
and/or everyone having to cut back on the sweets and
save their money for actual food...

either way, that's sad. poor twinkies.

Twinkies used to be my favorite as a kid. 

[smithjcsdfw]

Dayum no wonder the world is gonna end in 2012.  No more ding dongs.... tsk tsk tsk.

[astrozier1]

Yeah I think it has to do with the fact that people actually have to buy actual food 

[bigedshult]

i hop it dose not I love twink  amd ding dong

For some reason I didn't hear about this, but this is unfortunate. I've been a little more diligent with my food intake the past number of years and only periodically eat Hostess goods, but I do love them when I treat myself.

[patycake56]

i think its because of the economy

[jwallbank]

Actually I think they will come out leaner and meaner!! Catch my joke!! I personally don't think they will actually go under, alot of companies go backrupt to actually be able to tweek their costs. I think Hostess will be OK once they emerge from Bankruptcy. They have been around since the 1920's or longer. If they can make it through the first depression, I think they can come out of this. I was in love with Ding Dong's in the 1960's growing up. We never got obese from them but, then we were constantly playing sports, outside games, Biking, skateboarding. Anything that kept us outside. All kids want to do now is stay at home and play with Computers, this is why they get Obese. The kids that were Obese back in the 50's and 60's were the nerds that stayed at home and never came out to play!!

  I love ding dongs too!...Hostess twinkies used to be good and tasted like cake, but now they're nasty and taste like sweet cornbread.

For a second time too.  You'll still be able to get your favorite snacks.  Their just reorganizing their financial problems again.

[candyterrius]

  Everyone deserves to know what they are actually ingesting inside their precious bodies w/these processed treats. Only companies like these care about their own profit and less concern for consumerism health. Go ahead and eat all you want.  http://www.divinecaroline.com/22107/35281-twinkie-ingredients-revealed
