Heard yesterday that Hostess Brands filed for bankruptcy (again).
How long since your last Twinkie? Probably been 20 years for me, I never particularly liked Twinkies.
But the Hostess Cupcakes, chocolate, with the little squiggle lines of white frosting on them, that was another story! Used to be one of the few edible things in the vending machines in factories I worked at long long ago. Had two to a package. They were often gobbled up by day shift people, leaving none for us poor starving college students on second shift. But then, they were a bit expensive when you don't make much $ per hour, to be spending it on vending machine stuff.
In later years, we bought a package of them at a store. But it just wasn't the same. I think I needed to be a starving student, and looking at them through glass to desire them!
So... how long HAS it been?
