I was looking on e-bay tonight. Two boxes of twinlies was $26. I never liked them so no loss for me. Although I did like Hostess Cupcakes.

I figure someone will buy the company and Twinkies will continue to be produced.  It's just too well a known name for someone not to want to continue to produce it along with the cupcakes and everything else.  They say a company from Mexico is interested.

I haven't eaten any of those in a couple decades so not a huge loss for me.  I found some of the news channels were having fun airing clips of "Twinkie" references from Ghostbusters and Zombieland.

I saw one station has a reporter in an Albertson's (I think that was the name of the grocery store) - standing by their Hostess case.  When I first saw it, there were a couple holes on the shelf where the reported indicated the Twinkies were now gone.  They came back to her about a half hour later, and the shelf was almost empty.  She interviewed one customer who was picking up boxes of either the cupcakes or ding-dongs, and he said his friend texted him to go to the store and get as many of those boxes as he could because his friend had a buyer on E-bay willing to pay $300 per box.

Absolute craziness if you ask me...
