Hostess bites the dust.

Are they really going under? Or will they outsource production? Hard to fathom no more Hostess twinkies....has there been a big decrease in sales? Has stock fallen? I can tell you the trademark is not going anywhere.

Everybody remembers that stuff fondly, but nobody eats it anymore. If anyone here has any interest in what comprises modern processed food, there's a book that analyzes all the ingredients of a Twinkie. It's actually a very interesting read.

I tried a twinkie a few months ago out of curiousity, it just wasn't very good.

Hohos on the other hand....

We have a local bakery that makes some very nice bread(s), none of that white flannel WonderBread, makes you wonder what was in it.

Good bread is hard to find. Even the Breadsmith chain by us is hit and miss. One visit they will have a good sourdough and the next visit it's like they underbaked the loaves. They have no process control or bakers intuition whatsoever.

There is a small Italian bakery by mom's house. Sometimes she brings bread from there and it always good.
