There's has been a hubbub in the ttri-state area over the Hostess Company going out of business and no more twinkies will be available to the public.

Will you miss twinkies on the grocer shelf or is this a tri-state thingy?

Hostess headed for final closing - Nov. 21, 2012

There will be more Twinkies. Hostess will sell the name and recipe to another company. The names and rights to the products are their major assets.

I won't miss them. Haven't had a Twinkie for many, many years.

Oh, Oh, Oh, No. No more deep fat fried twinkies.

Everyone does know that twinkies are the ultimate survival food. Shelve life of around 100 years with no refrigation required.

Agree with mikeod..The brands have high asset value and they will be sold off to another major baker and they will continue in production. While I think I can honestly say that I've never once eaten a Twinkie, I do/did like the Hostess cupcakes and Wonder Bread. Remember..Captain Kangaroo told us that Wonder Bread builds strong bodies 12 ways! I always believed the Captain.

Twinkies will be a thing of the past and since they are well preserved will hold up well in museums.

Not only Twinkies, but all the beloved Hostess junk food - just a memory!

I don't like Twinkies, but Yankee Doodles are one of my basic food groups.

Weren't Yankee Doodles made by Drake?

Also loved Devil Dogs but they don't love me.

Yes, but I think Hostess bought them out, no Devil Dogs at Publix this week.

I'm not concerned about Twinkies, but Ding Dongs were delicious!

[ugotme]

Was never a big Twinkies fan but most of the other Hostess products are DELICIOUS !

[delima2000]

My favorites are ding dongs and hohos. My husband likes twinkles and snowballs. I was bummed when i went to Publix and the shelves were empty of all of the hostess products. Hope the new company buys the rights to all of their products.

How could you grow up in a America and not eat a Twinkie? The cupcakes couldn't hold a candle. As long as they don't go the way of the flavor straws I don't care if it is Hostess or another company. Just hope they don't tinker with the recipe. It is the only junk I can eat without guilt.
