Save the Twinkies!

The novelty of walking down the "Hostess aisle" at your local grocery store will soon diminish. Hostess Brands Inc. announced today that it is winding down operations and has filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court seeking permission to close its business and sell its assets, including its iconic brands and facilities. Hostess said the following about its closing: "We are sorry to announce that Hostess Brands, Inc. has been forced by a Bakers Union strike to shut down all operations and sell all company assets. For more information, go to hostessbrands.info. Thank you for all of your loyalty and support over the years."  I collected a few tweets from people I follow and Top Tweets around the United States on their reaction/commentary on the end of Hostess products. Tell me in the comments box what your favorite "Hostess memory" is. 


What I said about Hostess closing #RIPHostess

The thought of what east downtown #Memphis is going to smell like without the scent of fresh just baked Wonder bread scares me.
