I never cared for the twinkies but liked the other stuff. Squid they probably will start making em somewhere else, if so I won't buy em. blink.gif
Most of the products you can get under different names by different companies. That said, they never taste the same with Twinkies. Too bad...

Canada is still making Twinkies and the rest of the Hostess products!
Only in America can vulture capitalists and unions work together to make us sad.

Gee, maybe I should go to Canada and fill up the car and bring some back.
I think those things last forever!

I can confirm that the grocery stores here have full stock of the Hostess products. Maybe I should start selling them at inflated prices ... like this guy on ebay!
