SuperTaz Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Not about Twinkies, but, about Devil Dogs that Hostess/Drakes used to make: http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/03/15/devil-dogs-are-coming-back/?intcmp=features Hostess is moving forward with the sale of Devil Dogs, Yankee Doodles and Yodels to the maker of Little Debbie cakes. The bankrupt company says it picked McKee Foods as the buyer for the Drake's cakes after nobody stepped forward with a qualifying bid to top its $27.5 million offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos1907 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2013/06/23/hostess-twinkies-to-return-to-shelves-july-15/ NEW YORK (AP) — Hostess is betting on a sweet comeback for Twinkies when they return to shelves next month. The company that went bankrupt after an acrimonious fight with its unionized workers last year is back up and running under new owners and a leaner structure. It says it plans to have Twinkies and other snack cakes back on shelves starting July 15. Based on the outpouring of nostalgia sparked by its demise, Hostess is expecting a blockbuster return next month for Twinkies and other sugary treats, such as CupCakes and Donettes. The company says the cakes will taste the same but that the boxes will now bare the tag line “The Sweetest Comeback In The History Of Ever.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperTaz Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Twinkies will have a longer shelf life when they come back this month: http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/07/08/twinkies-to-have-longer-shelf-life-when-reappear-on-shelves/?intcmp=features Hostess Brands LLC says the spongy yellow cakes will have a shelf life of 45 days when they start hitting shelves again July 15. That's nearly three weeks longer than the 26 days the previous owner had stated as the shelf life for Twinkies. I am already overweight a bit, but, I can't wait until the Twinkies come back so I can get my one Twinkie a day fix. :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTaz Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 http://news.yahoo.com/twinkies-early-return-wal-mart-144204206.html The world's largest retailer says it is selling the snack cakes at about 1,600 stores starting Friday and that about 3,000 of its 4,000 U.S. stores should have them by Sunday morning, a day before Hostess had said the spongy yellow cakes would start hitting shelves nationwide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTaz Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 And Twinkies are back! http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/07/15/twinkies-may-be-smaller-than-many-remember/ Twinkies are back, but they may be a bit smaller than you remember. The new owners of Hostess have leaner operating costs now that they're no longer using unionized workers. It turns out the spongy yellow cakes may also be a little smaller than the last Twinkies people remember eating. The new boxes hitting shelves list the cakes as having 270 calories and a weight of 77 grams for two cakes, or 135 calories and 38.5 grams for one cake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
