^Yeah, I know, they'll be back. But for now, let's wallow in the drama, like everyone else.

Again people...these products are not going anywhere.

Nobody bakes a cake as tasty as a Tastykake

Actually Mike tastycake is very regional you get to pittsburgh and no one has them. They have been having hard times too.

I think that was a given. It just won't be Hostess sharing the spot anymore. I fully expect Twinkies and many of the other high profile name brands to live on.

[Hector]

See?

Twinkies is not going anywhere...

Who cares about Hostess products anyway, when I have all these yummy places to go to...

I go to Love at First Bite because it's great, and one of the ones closest to home...they are out of this world...

Whole Foods cupcakes are pretty good too.

BTW, most insiders say Hostess products are too iconic to be lost forever...some other company will pick up those products (I predict Grupo Bimbo)...and Twinkies and Ding Dongs will be back on shelves in the near future.

No trans-fat anymore. I think that's what gave them their moist, chocolatey flavor. Bad for you, but oh, so good!

Yeah, I'll miss the orange cupcakes and the Sno-balls the most. Truthfully, none of them had the same taste as when I was a kid. I have a feeling that 40 years ago there were different ingredients than now.

Drakes to me also changed flavor when Hostess bought them out.

Don't forget Funny Bones. Peanut Butter filling. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I don't think I ever ate those. My faves were Devil Dogs though. My older brother and I would always fight for the last one in the fridge. Cold Devil Dogs....YUM!
