Unions Killed the Twinkie

Tastykake has been in the Philadelphia, PA area for a long time.  I always liked the Butterscotch Krimpets.  I hope the 2011 "merger" didn't change them.

Where do you find Tastykake around here?  When I lived in PA, they were rare west of the Alleghenys.

I saw (and bought a few) in WalMart.  It may have been a market trial.  I haven't looked lately.  They had Butterscotch Krimpets and a few others but I don't remember which others.  It was probably 6 months ago.

Hey, are Twinkies collector items now? What's the best method of preserving the gooey cakes?

St. Louis Mayor told months ago the Hostess plant would close.

You don't need to.  They have a shelf life of 100 years.  Or is that a half-life?

Don't you find it odd that pot gets legalized and within 10 days these products disappear? My guess is that some corporate raider already has the formulas under lock and key....and he resides in Washington or Colorado....

I listened to a piece on NPR with a 'modern' archaeologist who had excavated some Twinkies from a landfill dating to the 1950s.  She said they looked edible.

My Hawaiian shirts will be unearthed someday, and the digger will probably make some disparaging comments about my abysmal taste.

Probably your skull....As they are in no danger in there....

I bought an assortment of soon-to-be-gone names myself, although I'm sure we'll be able to buy "Kraft" Twinkies in 6 months or so.

But why would anyone want to?

Am I the only one who thinks Twinkies suck?

I was always a Raspberry Zinger guy.

I actually liked the Vanilla Zingers better.  I had one yesterday, bought it from the QT up on Pine/Mingo.  Weren't many Hostess items left.

My stomach hated me for it, but I promised it I would never do it again.
