That all sounds so yummy doesn’t it? I don’t even know what some of that is. Do you want one? You might and not even know it because you might be one of the many people that are mourning the demise of this little confection. This group when mixed in the correct portion and method turns out a junk food that people are now mourning like a lost dog. The beloved Twinkie. A junk food that has the honor of being associated with murder. The famous twinkie defense.
who is the Hostess with the mostess?
I will admit I got a little nostalgic when I heard Hostess is going bankrupt and closing. I remember eating them at friends houses. My mother never purchased such things on any occasion. My nostalgia didn’t last long. My thoughts have been more about those people that will lose their jobs and how good it would be if the Twinkie did just disappear. One less junk food option. I am sure it will be replaced with something else if the recipe isn’t purchased and made by someone else. Wouldn’t it be great if the demise of the Twinkie did change some eating habits?
I think the advertising and logos of Hostess hold more interest for me and luckily those aren’t going away. This image will always be around to remind me of Saturday morning cartoons and other food icons from childhood. I still get a kick out of the Kool-aid guy.
