I can just imagine "Antiques Road Show" in 30 years.

Don't care about the Twinkies, but I like the cupcakes and crunchy covered donuts.

Need a new bad habit while driving.

Got to admit it, if Hostess, Krispy Kreme, and Starbucks were counting on me to get by- they'd be out of business. I just don't eat/drink that shit.

I'm going to miss Ho Ho's but I haven't had one since I moved south of the mason-dixon line. They've never shipped them down here for some reason.

What's better than a tall, thin woman with her legs wrapped around you?

But now that you tell me I can't have one, I would kill for a Twinkie.
Wasn't so much a Twinkie fan, but loved the cupcakes and Ho-Hos. I actually did get a few boxes and put them away for a rainy day. I don't usually subsist on that kind of food, I'll ration it out...

There were still some Ho-Hos and chocolate and orange cupcakes left at the store, and a ton of the strawberry cupcakes left.

I remember Snowballs from my youth too, but didn't see them or any Twinkies left at the store.

The Mexicans have been knocking off Ding Dongs for years. Imagine my surprise when I picked up my workers one morning when they were eating these. I'm like, "wow, you guys like Ding Dongs too?" And they were all, like, "WTF is a Ding Dong? These are Pinguinos, gabacho. "

You need to get your snack cakes right. Those would be a Cupcake analog, not a Dong Dong. A Ding Dong is a hockey puck with a heart

I have a box of Twinkies in the cabinet. Been munching on the cupcakes for a snack at work. Buy Butternut bread every week. Not my fault they are gone.

I can't remember the last time I had a Hostess cake thing of any sort. Probably at least 20 years. However, I do remember when I was in Boy Scouts I'd always take a box of 1 dozen Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's with me on camp outs. I could trade for all kinds of stuff. They were highly valued by your average 13-year-old camper.

Been longer than that for me. I bet it has been more than 30 years since I had a Twinkie but the cupcakes are probably more like 20 years

I admit to a weakness for the orange cupcakes! Local grocery was completely out this morning, but the circle K had 4 twin packs left, so that will probably be the last I see unless someone buys up the brand.
