Ode to Twinkies
As much of the states have read, our favorite snack cake company, Hostess has now been going out of business, many people losing their jobs in the holiday season. This is a sad day for all snack lovers everywhere.
Much of us who grew up in the US have grown up with Twinkies, Ho-hos, Suzy Q's and my personal favorite, green and oozing with goodness, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle pies. We are deeply going to miss the cakes that brought us joy and also yes some added pounds, but who cares about all that. All kids have eaten and loved Twinkies, and now we are going to have some problems.
Do we owe this to the craze of dieting? No. Do we owe this to parents holding out on us? No. What caused it...unions, bad economy and bad sales. This is not the fault of all those people going on diets and such, this is just the fault of the world just changing around us.
Will we miss Twinkies, yes, I'm sure a lot of us who grew up on it remember the taste and texture. We can readily tell our children and grandchildren that in our days about the snack that many jokes and funny little quips are about.
Do Twinkies last forever? Nope, sadly not even close.
Goodbye Hostess, you had a good run in the last so many years, we will miss you and your delicious snack cakes.
