Sure am glad I don't smoke dope anymore, I'd have never made it without Twinkies and Ho-Ho's as my favorite munchie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek:
let's get ridof Obama and keep Twinkies.. makes sense to me
Twinkies were 'soul food' for the boomer generation - and used to be s-o-o-o-o good. That was my grandfather's treat to me.
Unfortunately, the last one I had a few years ago tasted like it was a left over from a chemical factory test tube
Was never a fan of "Twinkles", as my mother called them, but not sure what I'll do without HoHo's to sabotage my weight loss program. And no more Hostess lemon pies???? The apocalypse is upon us!:eek:
Hostess goes bankrupt. Hmmm, show me a picture of the owner's house, then I'll be able to process my sympathy a little easier. :D
You can Thank michele obama for this news!
My Hostess vice was/is the cup cakes with the little swirling cream frosting... ahhhhhhh...
Ding dongs were good too!
Suzy Q's and the Cherry pies where the chit before the diabetes kicked in. Of course them and 2 or 3 Big Gulp Dr.Peppers a day probably didn't help matters.
Oh and this ain't the first time Hostess filed bankruptcy.

The Shelf Life of a Twinkie: Longer Than A Fruit fly, Shorter Than The Universe
see article below:
The Shelf Life of a Twinkie: Longer Than A Fruit fly, Shorter Than The Universe | Food
DEEP-FRIED TWINKIES
INGREDIENTS:
6 Twinkies
Popsicle sticks
4 cups vegetable oil
Flour for dusting
1 Cup milk
2 Tablespoons vinegar
1 Tablespoon oil
1 Cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Icing sugar to taste
PREPARATION:
1. Chill or freeze Twinkies for several hours or overnight.
2. Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in deep-fryer to about 375 degrees Farenheit.
3. Mix together milk, vinegar and oil.
4. In another bowl, blend flour, baking powder and salt.
5. Whisk wet ingredients into dry and continue mixing until smooth. Refrigerate while oil heats.
6. Push sticks into Twinkies lengthwise, leaving about 2 inches to use as a handle, dust with flour and dip into the batter. Rotate Twinkie until batter covers entire cake.
7. Place carefully in hot oil. The Twinkie will float, so hold it under with a utensil to ensure even browning. It should turn golden in 3 to 4 minutes. Depending on the size of your deep fryer, you might be able to fry only one at a time, two at the most.
8. Remove Twinkie to paper towel and let drain. Remove stick and allow Twinkie to sit for about 5 minutes, and dust with icing sugar if desired before serving.

And the world marches on. Another American Icon down the river of life.
I never was much of a fan of Twinkies and such, but did eat the heck out of those various fruit and pudding pies; did have a deep fried Twinkie once, the fried batter it was dipped in was tastier than the Twinkie. Nowadays, only in a real pinch, and it looks like maybe "nevermore", as the Raven quoteth.
It's that sneaky Little Debbie selling her stuff cheaper the brazen hussy,actually I think Hostess was getting greedy the Twinkies and Ding Dongs were going for $1.29-$1.39 in the mini-marts for two pieces about the same as two Krispy Kremes.
Hey, it's their second bankruptcy filing....don't give up on them yet. Anymore, bankruptcy is just another business option....
They are not expected to go anywhere right away. Hostess filed bankruptcy 7 years ago also.
I am going out now to buy a package of twinkies.
I think Twinkies taste chemical. some of the other snacks they sell are decent, but I usually stick to Little Debbie if I'm actually going to buy a box of baked snacks. There are some Rasberry filled angel food cake rolls that are wayy better than anything else tho... Wonder bread would be a sad thing to see go tho. Then again, there are 3 other brands that could/ would buy the label if it came to that
Wow,Steve,,really hit a soft spot there,havent I??:DWhat makes me think that you just went to the market and bought some little sugary treasures,with the idea that they were to show me what they were??:LOL: Can ya take them back now,and tell the shopkeeper that you only wanted to take pix of them,to show a Kiwi what they were?? Nah...why dont we put them in the cupboard till later,they might be handy for munchies late at night...:D:D Gee,I'm a stirrer today...;) Seriously,,they look dangerous,,but quite edible all the same.T hanks for the effort to show me what they were about..Very kool... Hmmmm,those ho hos look nice,,thankfully,my sweet tooth isnt as sweet as it once was...:whacked:
What the heck does a “picture of the owner’s house” have to do with anything?? Hostess (formerly Interstate Bakeries Corporation – traded as IBC) is the largest wholesale baker and distributor of bakery products in the United States - assets of just over $980 million. We all know “Twinkies” and “Ding-Dongs” and such but they also do Wonder Bread, Natures Pride, Dolly Madison and several others.Quote:

Of course, I only eat apple slices, carrots and raw cauliflower for snacks!! Not!! I’ve eaten my share of Twinkies – used to love ‘em on a road trip – stay fresh for weeks. Nothing like four or five of them to stave off your hunger. Can’t remember the last time I ate one but I do remember it caused a gut bomb that rivaled two bowls of fire house chili.
I usually pop a big bowl of corn these days and have long since left off the butter and only light bit of salt.
Gettin' old changes some things:LOL::LOL:

Here`s to you :eek:
Classic photo from Ghost Buster's.
What a plan!!!! I'm gonna call Hostess and tell them to just take a Mulligan!!!!
Yeah, it's carrots for us and BBQ for the elitists in Washington. I'm still fuming over the loss of incandescent light bulbs! What a I suppose to use for my drop light? Murcury-filled swirlies? It's the dang hippies ruling the world I tell you! It's all that dope smoking in the 60s and now they know whats best for us! Pretty soon we'll all be sucking carrots driving those Toyolet Prissies or worse yet, those satanic clown cars. I'm sick of it! I' flushing their dope down the toilet every chance I get! I'll stick a twinkie right up their exhaust pipes! I'll take a pipe wrench and squish their ding-dongs! I'll make em snort Susie-Qs. And if I see another VW bus with a peace sign i'll smear it with 72 cherry pies!
Sorry, bad night
You got stuck with those stinkin pigtail light bulbs?? Our previous government tried to do us on those things,too..Big problem is,if you turn them on and off,regularly,they overheat,and have caused fires..Dont want/like them where I dont need them..Quote:

I think GE should suck em!
And I'll take any 4 twinkies in trade for one ding-dong!
Holy cow!!!!Did this thread fall off the track in the black world of off topic??:eek:Man it is Twinkies I posted about.:LOL::LOL:

As for the droplights, just picked me up a new one with LED's to replace my old one with the florescent bulb.... Much brighter, magnetic base, rechargeable--the charger part of it just hangs on the wall so when I'm not using it, it's in the charger and ready to go! Beats the heck out of the old light bulb units!!!!!
Which light did you get, Dave? I've seen a 60LED rechargable Work Light at Sears, but it has a plug in connector vs wall mount charger.Quote:

As for my dopey comments I must admit I toked a doobie back in 1976 once. Then I wanted to tear apart my TV set to make a signal jammer so the military industrial complex couldn't read my thoughts. Then I thought of them raspberry Zingers then I went to sleep.
I'm glad I didn't tear apart my TV.
Just reading the front page news and came on this and just had to give you Twinkies lovers some hope. In the article is another link to dig into for the real addict:
