not missing hostess here--not any, not a bit. wouldn't even need all my fingers and toes to count the number of hostess cakes i've eaten in my life.
what remains a mystery to me is hostess's enormous popularity, and its longevity--why it has taken 80 years to shut it down....
paradoxically, saturday when i had to buy a replacement pc, the name i gave her was "twinkie"--go figure.... .

Could it be Bimbo? That's a funny brand name!

Long live Twinkies? Hostess, union to mediate

When I saw that I had to LOL at all the people who spent waaaaayyyyyy too much money scarfing up all the Hostess things they could find ... EBay has been insane ! Those people were paying hundreds for stuff. And those who spent all their money buying up Twinkies to sell them as if they were gold could just be a little out of luck !!
Probably about as funny as "twinkie".Could it be Bimbo? That's a funny brand name!
