This is what we have come to, America. We can't pay our mortgages, we have a stifling national debt that no one seems to want pay taxes towards, we have car loans in default all over the place, but by God, we will buy black market twinkies!

Oh yes they are! I saw at least 5 ads end last night with the winning bid over $25, and the avg price on auctions with more then 1 box was $30/ea.

Meanwhile, I'll be eating the far more delicious Swiss Rolls from Little Debbie for a lot less than 25 bucks. :P

Hostees Orginal Twinkee Box of 10 | eBay

yes they are. $50 for this one


They are not black market twinkees, they're just collectors items. Kinda like stock certificates of failed corporations.

I thought this was going to be a post ranting about people who sell on ebay. Glad to see it was in reference to the item.

WTH? Chances are another company will be buying the brands and continue to sell them. They still might be under the banner of Hostess but owned by XYZ company. I would think that there is still money to be made with them.

I looked earlier and no one was bidding on any of the ones that were ending soon. That guy was asking $50 and some idiot actually paid that seller $20 for the box he sold.

This company like many others has had multiple owners and multiple bankruptcies in the past. Does everybody really think that this will be the last one for such a well known brand? I predict twinkies will be back on the shelves within a matter of a few months.

They must have some special ingredients that only zombies would pay that much for.

Yeah, but it will be like a Remington made Marlin, fill holes will be miss-alligned, golden sponge cake will be off in color, folks will complain about the pastry to box fitting, etc.

It was funny, though, I was in Wal-Mart Saturday and the Hostess section was wiped out. I haven't had a twinkie in 10 years or more but I kinda want one now. It's some kind of underhanded economic stimulus.

my pantry wont even notice that they are gone

I can live with out them but love the powder dounuts

Powdered sugar messes up your arteries more. Get the smooth chocolate coated ones to keep your arteries lubed and healthy!

Seriously though, I feel the powdered ones are less healthy than the chocolate dipped ones for some reason. I know that's not true, just what I tell myself when I choose the chocolately goodness.

 

[U.S. Patriot]

How can you even call that crap donuts? They did not even use real chocolate.

It's the inhalation risk. Breathing in the powdered sugar probably runs the same risk as asbestos.
