twinkie

Remember when everyone was fanatical about the fact that Hostess was closing and that meant the end of the Twinkie?  Here's the good news, they will be back by this Summer.

Whitesboro, NY (WIBX) - Hostess' decision to shut down happened only three days ago, but already the manufacturer's closure is having an impact locally.

Takeru Kobayashi may officially be banned from the sport of competitive eating, but that hasn’t stopped him from setting world records. On ‘The Wendy Williams Show,’ Kobayashi set a record for consuming 14 Twinkies in one minute.

Hostess Brands Inc. – the baking company behind Twinkies, Wonder Bread and chocolate-frosted CupCakes (with the icing squiggly on top) – is preparing to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this week, the Wall Street Journal reports.

I personally enjoy the deep fried twinkie myself.  I wonder if there are any still around from 1931.  They supposedly have an incredible shelf life.
