No. And they have stopped shipping as well. I haven't seen a hostess guy in days

Last night there was the donuts at a Tom Thumb, but everything else was long gone

I have some ding dongs I had been holding on to deep-fry soon

The unions didn't kill the Twinkie. It was Michelle Obama. She got tired of having to look at all the fat people, so she had her baby daddy pull some strings, and that was the end of Hostess. Word on the street is that the soda industry is next....

They been trying for years. Coke has more than a few politicians in their pocket. I'm sure Pepsi does as well

Wait! There is still hope for Hostess! Negotiations between the company and the union have reopened.

Google it yourself. I suck at the interwebz.
