Ding Dong.. Hostess is Dead... Will you stock up on immortal Twinkies ?

[cbelt3]

With the pending liquidation of Hostess Inc.... Are you planning on stocking up on Twinkies et al, knowing that with their near-immortal lifespan, a box of twinkies may be worth $$$ in FleaBay in later decades ?



Hint: Do NOT try to take the Last Twinkies from Woody Harrelson.

Stocking up? No... but I did buy one this morning.
Not as tasty as I remember... too sweet.

Twinkies - No.
Ring Dings - Yes!!

Dang it! And they just legalized pot too...

Twinkies I won't miss, since I was never a fan. I will miss the Dolly Madison (a Hostess brand) Raspberry Zingers, though, in a nostalgic kind of way.

On the other hand, should Little Debbie face a similar fate I'll be right there leading the candlelight vigil in remembrance of Banana Twins and Cosmic Brownies.

What is Bloomberg's position on this?

[Filliam H. Muffman]

Yo, Ding Dong man, Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Yo!

[lost in space]

Stock up now. With their infinite shelf life, they'll keep forever!

Not a big Twinkies buyer, but I used to really like Little Debbe Oatmeal Creme Pies. I try to stay away from the snack aisle at the grocery store now.
