What Hostess Item Will You Miss Most?

[MrsLMB]

With the news of Hostess and their woes it made me wonder what item or items you will miss most?

The only Hostess product I ever buy is their Ho-Ho's... about once a year I get a box. It reminds me of elemetary school lunches and my Bonanza lunchbox... so it's hard to say if they will truly be missed or not

Sheesh...just when they legalize marijuana in my state.

Hostess Cupcakes. Always a favorite but I don't eat them often.

Too funny..


Wait. Maybe that's what Hostess needs to resuscitate their business.

Get them while you can on Ebay.... The price is higher, BUTT you can still enjoy them one last time.

We have an outlet store in Malden, a couple of towns over. My girlfriend made a run on the place. She wants to save the wrappers for prosperity.

I only buy the occasional loaf of bread. But only because they make a really small loaf. right now I have some slices drying in the oven by the light of the oven. Should I save them? I really need them for the holiday stuffing.

I haven't had one in awhile, but for me it is the cupcakes. I also love snoballs, Suzie-Q's, Twinkies, pretty much everything. But the cupcakes are my favorites.

The yellow cupcakes with their orange/yellow frosting always called to me. But I always passed them up. Way too much sugar for me.

I just mailed a money order to Malden

The Hostess company has 30 brands that are going under posters. A whole lot of empty shelf space coming.

 

[Zereh]

None of the above. =)

No more raspberry Zingers?!!! I love those! I don't get them more than once or twice a year though. Maybe that's why they're calling it quits.

I may have to hunt down a package of snowballs!

I'm sure iconic brands like "Twinkie" and "Wonder Bread" will get snatched up by other companies, but who knows if they will be the same recipes. Other things like the pies, raspberry zingers, and snowballs, could become extinct.

I remember always wanting the hostess snowballs when I'd see other kids eating them in the lunch room. My mom made all of the baked goods in our house, and things like snowballs weren't in the budget. To think, I had to endure a childhood of homemade sweets!

Cherry pies, heated and served with lots of butter.

And no one turned your mother in for child abuse? What heartless neighbors you had.

None of the above. I can't remember the last time I had one. I used to get the apple pies regularly at work, but that was years ago.

Yeah, this is pretty much where I stand as well. I used to eat stuff like this when I was a kid, but I honestly can't remember the last time I had a Twinkie. I would guess it's been close to 40 years.
