twinkies

Twinkies are back, but they may be a bit smaller than you remember. 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. Right before it went out of business, the snack cakes' former owner had told the Associated Press Twinkies were 150 calories per cake...

When Twinkies return to store shelves next week, the spongy yellow cakes will have a shelf life of 45 days. That's nearly three weeks longer than the 26-day shelf life the previous owner claimed. A spokesman for Hostess says the change to extend the shelf life was actually made by the old compnay that went bankrupt, with the longer-lasting cakes first hitting shelves late last year...

Good news Twinkies fans Hostess Brands announced that the Twinkies will be back on store shelves by late July!

America received some very sad news on Friday. Hostess, the makers of such snacks as the Twinkie, the Ho Ho and the Sno Ball was going under. Not so fast, there might still be hope.

Ah, the "ding dongs" of American culture are panicking to stock up, and truly test the shelf life of Twinkies, once and for all.

With the news that Hostess is going out of business, there is more than likely a mad rush to the store to get the last few boxes. If you can't find any, there still might be hope.

The world is buzzing about Twinkies! Hostess Brands - the maker of Twinkies and Wonder Bread - is going out of business after failing to make a deal with striking workers.
