Although I agree with June, it sounds terribly out of character for a Yankee pragmatist. <br /><br />Not to worry, I heard on NPR that the Hostess trademark has too much inherent value and it will sold off along with the recipes of all the great products. The people though will lose their jobs. It may take 6 months or a year but once again our favorite goodies will be available Sextanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869179401767968180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-36681501399943767012012-11-18T09:29:45.808-05:002012-11-18T09:29:45.808-05:00This whole adventure sounds a little out of charac...This whole adventure sounds a little out of character for you, but the power of nostalgia and sugar should not be underrated. <br />The product I will miss most, by far, is the Drake's crumb-topped coffee cake, although I do have many, many memories of watching other kids eat the chocolate cupcakes with the white squiggle across the peelable frosting.Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710135137635433217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-60976179075699636262012-11-18T06:23:14.964-05:002012-11-18T06:23:14.964-05:00What a great story, I can just imagine you rushing...What a great story, I can just imagine you rushing around the supermarket even though I don't know the product as we don't have that brand here in Aus. but I'm sure I would be the same as I hate it when I can't get my favourite brands as I have a very sweet tooth.

Of course they loved them.<br />I always loved all those Hostess products, but never got them very often. We were poor. <br />As an adult I considered them junk food.

He even put them on his Wedding registry at a farm and home store. They received 92 boxes, which they donated most to a food pantry.Muffy's Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826630430126318583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-59984043232366166362012-11-17T15:53:24.119-05:002012-11-17T15:53:24.119-05:00I will miss those twinkies, but was never crazy ab...I will miss those twinkies, but was never crazy about the other items.
