twinkies

Know what's cool? When big companies under promise and over deliver. When the Hostess Company went under late last year, and stopped producing America's favorite snack cakes like Twinkies and Cupcakes, well, we were all devastated, Ok I was at least.

Yes, we have made a big deal about Twinkies being back on store shelves next week--Monday to be exact--and with good reason. Not only has America's favorite snack cake been out of production since November, but the competition is loading up their guns as well. Sara Lee has just released new "Golden Creme" cakes and new "Cupcakes" that look similar to Hostess.

Well, they WILL be back this summer! The bankrupt Hostess company was sold to two investment firms for 410 million dollars, and those firms are going to revive the iconic snack cake brands sometime this summer! As one who enjoys the treats of his youth and last year, this warms the sugar laden veins that snake through my body!

When the US auto industry was in jeopardy four years ago President Obama stepped in with a bailout package. Now it's the American junk food industry that's in peril, with Hostess Brands closing up shop and heading for liquidation, and some want Obama to take an even more drastic step. Daniel B. of Kansas City has started a petition for the president to "Nationalize the Twinkie industry."

So sweet and tasty and now, soon to be much harder to find, in not impossible. The company that makes and sells the iconic snack cake line has filed for bankruptcy, will be closing it's doors and ceasing operatio
