The thing is, if all these Twinkie afficianados had been as interested in buying them BEFORE they went bankrupt the first time in '94, we might not be here now. I'm sure the company was mismanaged, and I'm sure the unions helped put the nail in the coffin, but who here has actually been buying Twinkies, Ding Dongs, etc. lately? I haven't had one in years.

I haven't had one since I was a teenager. Didn't like it so much either.

Sea Six killed Twinkie the Kid!

Seriously, though, we are in the same boat. We mourn an icon of our youth, yet we did nothing to help keep it alive.

If it wasn't deep fried, you were doing it wrong.

I haven't had a Twinkie in decades.
I haven't wanted a Twinkie in decades.
But now that you tell me I can't have one, I would kill for a Twinkie.


But I wouldn't pay more than the regular retail price for one.

With the shelf life they have, you only have until the decade is out to get one.

Somebody will purchase the brand name, it's still too big to die.

Hopefully they won't do the same thing as Tastykake. Changed the recipes to make it healthier They suck now

I'm more of a Suzie Q fan and I can't even find them in the generic brands. Sad, sad day for me...
