What no more Twinkies?

[PRBuzz]

Hostess Brands, the creator of magical marvels of modern science such as Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Wonder Bread, is preparing to file for bankruptcy protection (the 2nd time around).

Origins of the Twinkie: James A. Dewar was a manager of a Chicago-area Continental Baking Co. plant in 1930, when he got the idea of injecting cakes with cream filing. He said he came up with the name for his invention when he saw a billboard in St. Louis for “Twinkle Toe Shoes.” Dewar started his career driving a horse-drawn pound cake wagon and retired in 1972 with the unofficial title of “Mr. Twinkie.” He died in 1985, at the age of 88.

Hoard yours now! Think Twinkies Will Live Forever? We’ve all heard the jokes. They go something like this: Twinkies have a half-life longer than Plutonium 239 (for the uninformed that is 24,000 years). In fourth grade, your Deal Journal blogger had a teacher who claimed the classroom had kept the same Twinkie on a high shelf for more than a decade, and it was fresh as a daisy.

I had lived across the street from a Hostess factory. Every day you could smell the aroma of freshly baked bread. There was so a store where you could buy pastries and bread.
The delivery drivers would leave at times leave cupcakes in the trays of the trucks at the end of their shift. There were times when us young kids would hang out in the trucks to enjoy the treats. The snowballs with the coconut topped half moon marsh mellows centered with cream and chocolate cake were and still are my favorite.

Me and WAYNE were working on a Sunday
doing skip sheeting on roofs at a housing tract
and we're sitting there having our lunch ok

Well, i always had a fairly nutritional lunch
and would tell Wayne often that eating JUNK food
would give you a short rush and then you'd crash.

He always brought nothing BUT junk food
just to make me crazy....see

well this one fine day he's sitting there eating
these PINK igloo coconut and cream filled cakes
and he would somehow manage to stuff
the whole damn thing into his
mouth and try to be as disgusting as humanly possible.

well i just couldn't take it no more!
and i pounced on the package, grabbed the remaining
pink and creme filled cake and ran back a few steps
then ran forward and with all my MIGHT

i slammed that sucka onto the side of the house
on the plywood sheathing creating this gigantic circular
pattern.....and making a very huge and colorful splatter.

Well, it was the funniest thing i think i have ever done
and we had a real great laugh til our sides hurt....

after that we got back up on the hot roof!
