cabiness42 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 OK, I misread the title and thought it said that Hooters was closing. I was almost in tears when I realized my error. I can live without Hostess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Never been to a hostess outlet store (or seen one), and can't remember the last time I've ever had a Hostess product. I'm a bad fat guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyons Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 This means we are one step closer to a world where "Zombieland" is reality. Seriously, though, I'll believe this when I see it. They will be reorganized or bought out. Like Fannie Mae candy or the Berghoff restaurant, both of which previously also closed "for good."

farmteam Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 The only Hostess outlet store I've ever seen/been to is on the way southside of Bloomington. A solid slice of southern Indiana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than the treats, people go there for the cheap bread. We have one right down the street from our house. Although we don't go there very often because we can get bread right at the grocery store for a buck. I hate the way they price things though. It's always something like 3 for 5.50 or 1.98 individually. So we end up spending $20 by the time we are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I knew I should have stocked up on Twinkies. Not to eat but to sell on eBay. I like Twinkies, Ding Dongs, etc., but I prefer Little Debbie mainly because they are half the price. Now, anyone who is old enough remembers when Ho-Hos and Ding Dongs were much better...back when they were packaged in foil. I believe the cream was different, too.

SnB Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 All of the products will be bought out by someone, there's just too much money involved. Everyone chill. I haven't had a twinkie in years, now I want one - maybe this was just all a marketing ploy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, anyone who is old enough remembers when Ho-Hos and Ding Dongs were much better...back when they were packaged in foil. I believe the cream was different, too. I saw some of those auctions on Ebay. People were paying $20 - $40 for a box of Twinkies. We went to the outlet store by our house on Saturday morning and they were wiped out. The shelves at the grocery stores were empty too. I'm sure Hostess will be bought by another company and be back in business before too long. I'm not sure what these people that are buying the stuff on Ebay plan on doing with the snack cakes when they get them. Freeze them and keep them forever? I remember the foil packages. They did taste better back then. It seems to me they changed the chocolate covering on the ho-hos and ding-dongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 @CNBC - BREAKING: Hostess and Bakers Union agree to mediation, preventing shut down. The vending machine came by about an hour ago and to my utter shock, he filled one of the rows with Twinkies. I was in the middle of debating whether or not to buy out the machine to see what I could re-sell them for when I saw this news and decided against my plan.
