Hostess was never very good. Their stuff tastes like rubber. Tastykake is where it's at.

Maybe that's why the owe Goodyear Tire & Rubber $552,000?

Frozen Little Debbie swiss cake rolls ftmfw.

If you want to barf, try Walmart's brand snack cakes. I've never tasted anything that tasted quite so... synthetic.

truth! we got some for our kids lunches. i tried one and the whole inside of my mouth felt like i just ate a big glob of crisco lard. I had to drink hot tea to rise my mouth of it.

They were good once upon a time, or so I was told. I had a history teacher back in high school who would go on small diatribes once in awhile on the Hostess cupcakes. He said back when he was a kid (so late 50s, early 60s) the cream was the consistency of real whipped cream. Now you can taste and feel in the texture all the preservatives they add to it.

yep

i'll buy sweets once in a while but only freshly baked from real ingredients. all these boxed up cupcakes with nothing but chemicals taste like crap and aren't worth it

I heard that Tastycake is in financial trouble as well. What is with America... can't we even make profitable junk food anymore???

The trading of orange juice concentrate futures has been the case before you were even born.

 

[Phanuel]

This is exactly what I was thinking once someone said Orange Juice futures.

Little Debbie ain't got nuthin' on Hostess Deep Fried Twinky yall

 

[nageov3t]

I counter that a deep fried zebra cake would be better than a fried twinkie on every possible level.

LOL!

Just visiting this thread to see how many of you sorry sacks actually eat this crap.

 

[KeithTalent]

Bwahaha, first thing I thought of.

Does Hostess still make chips? They used to make awesome chips, but I don't see them around anymore. Could not care less about any of the pastry crap.

I can't believe people still eat this shit...

Seen the average American lately? I can't believe the company is bankrupt.

 

[SandEagle]

good. the plot to fatten and dumb down Americans is failing.

 

[JulesMaximus]

good. the plot to fatten and dumb down Americans is failing.

I'd say it is alive and gaining traction. Have you seen how big the average American is these days? Or the list of top candidates for the republican presidential race? Fat and dumb is the new America!

Tell that to the svelte doctor...

Tastykake was about to go under, but it was purchased by Flowers in April 2011.

Tastykake went downhill since then.

It would be great if all these junk food companies folded.

 

[foghorn67]

Where do you see all these fat people? Stop hanging out at Walmart.
I will miss Baseballs and Zingers.

 

[Gothgar]

Why does everyone hate delicious junk food?

 

[highland145]

Where do you see all these fat people? Stop hanging out at Walmart.

Recently, at my gym. Wish people wouldn't make new years resolutions.

Oh, well. A couple more weeks and it'll be back to the normal crowd.

 

[Homerboy]

Zingers kick Twinkies butt.

 

[Anubis]

Which movie was that with Eddie Murphy that 2 rich guys make him into a stock broker, then they have a falling out and the rich guys lose all their money on orange futures.
