Just as America was getting skinnier....

Time to welcome back the Twinkie: Hostess is bringing back its popular snack cakes on July 15 after going bankrupt last year and selling its brands to various bidders.
There you go folks. Now mods who recently love to move my threads, this one is actually worthy of USN, as it effects everyone that likes Hostess foods..... which is everyone is existance pretty much.

I doubt these had any effect on America's waist line when you can buy 600 calorie coffee flavored drinks. These only have 150 calories. Remember that nutrition professor lost 27 pounds on the Twinkie diet?

Aww come one, moved this out of USN too?

Neither Paula Deen getting fired for using a racial slur, nor the return of possibly the most recognized/liked snake foods to store shelves are worth the USN?
Really?

I just don't believe that. If Rydian, KingVamp, Gahars, or any other common USN poster posted either of those two stories, they'd remain in USN. :glare:

Oh well, at least I'm the first to post this on these forums, better than nothing.

Time to dig out my double boiler and buy some Ghirardelli dark chocolate chops and make some chocolate covered Twinkies again!

Although my wife has banned me from ever making them again....

I saw a store selling American food in my city centre. Twinkies were being sold at stupid prices last time I checked. Is there any American snacks that I should keep an eye out for? The ones I tried was:

Lucky Charms (Cheerios with hard marshmallows in my opinion)
Baconaise (HORRIBLE)
Reese's Cups (love them)
Marshmallow Fluff (combined with Nutella, it's good but not enough to get another)
Pepsi Throwback (either my tongue is on the fritz but I cannot taste the difference between that and current Pepsi)
Tootsie Roll (Not bad. Really chewy)

Wut? *looks up* No, just no.
It even looks horrible.

My thought process at the time, "HEY, I LIKE BACON. I ALSO LIKE MAYONAISE. WHAT CAN GO WRONG?". The real problem is that they made it far too salty for my taste and after using it twice on two sandwiches, it's been sitting in the fridge for over a month now. Oh God I can even see it starting to change colour through the jar.

Pepsi Throwback (either my tongue is on the fritz but I cannot taste the difference between that and current Pepsi) fyi the only different is that they use real sugar
Tootsie Roll (Not bad. Really chewy)

try this list
  • twinkes (best food when the A-bombs drop)
  • gold fish (eating right now)
  • Doritos (make sure to wash you hands after eating them)

Oh Doritos are plentiful. I always get the Cool flavor everytime. I should also mention I'm also loving double stuff Oreos.

I don't know, I just don't think Hostess' products can compete in the modern marketplace. I mean, why would anyone go all the way to the supermarket when they can easily find a plethora of twinks, ho-hos, ding dongs, and "cupcakes" on any street corner?
