Twinkies

The long national nightmare is over. Twinkies are coming back!

In November, the nation went into panic mood when word spread that Hostess was about to go giant, bloated-with-sugar belly up.

The high point of last night's episode of 'Saturday Night Live' (with guest host Jamie Foxx) was probably the Academy Award winner's portrayal of the not-so-popuar Hostess snack, Ding Dong.

So in the wake of the news that Hostess is going to shut down their factories and that there will be no more Twinkies, so I went to the store to get some. I figured, “Hey, since Twinkies keep for a while I will buy a couple boxes for a rainy day.” Apparently everyone else had the same idea. I went from store to store to store looking for those little yellow sponge cakes and could not find them!

Terrifying news from the business headlines today…Twinkies may be doomed! NBC News is reporting that Hostess Brands, the magicians behind Twinkies, Wonder Bread and plenty of other delicious snacks, could start liquidating company assets unless workers stop striking by the end of the workday on Thursday. All I can say is, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Apparently I can swallow an entire Twinkie. Should I be ashamed, embarrassed, or proud? Maybe a little bit of each.

Takeru Kobayashi may officially be banned from the sport of competitive eating, but that hasn’t stopped him from setting world records. On ‘The Wendy Williams Show,’ Kobayashi set a record for consuming 14 Twinkies in one minute.
