Re: twinkies!!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9m61oMqPKYI was going to say, "Go Zingers!" but I just leaned that Dolly Madison was absorbed into the Hostess fold back in 1995... http://mercurie.blogspot.com/2012/11/no ... loses.html  Little Debbie can suck it!

Re: twinkies!! The only Twinkies i ever saw here in the UK were adverts in American super-hero comics i read as a kid . . . . and more recently an early episode of Family Guy where Peter recalls that the snackfood Twinkies are the only food that can survive a nuclear holocaust

Re: twinkies!! Marinela does all of the Hostess treats in Mexico. Just have a friend ship you some, I grew up with those and the taste is pretty much the same.

Re: twinkies!! I use to love the cream filled Hostess cupcakes. One day at school I noticed a pack in a vending machine and said to myself " Hmm they don't make those anymore I wonder if they are old?" I ate them anyhow but they did taste kind of stale.
