This "No Twinkie" Thing Has Gone Far Enough
February 17, 2013
By: O. J. Cunningham
Remember back a few months ago when there was a big "flap" about the Twinkie company going out of business.
WONDERBREAD
Strong Bodies 8 Ways
Ho-Ho's -- Yummy!
What happened . . . Is that the Twinkie "Workers" told the Twinkie "Owners" that they wanted more money to continue to make Twinkies.
Owners said "NO."
Workers said "We Strike."
Owners said . . . "So Be It" . . . and closed the Twinkie Factory.
I figured that the two sides would work it out. But it hasn't rolled out that way.
HOSTESS CUP CAKES
A CLASSIC
PURPLE CATSUP
NO THANKS
And . . . here's the point of my column . . .
IT'S NOT JUST TWINKIES.
It's also . . .
Wonder Bread
Ho-Ho's
Snowballs
Hostess Cupcakes
Hostess Fruit Pies
Purple Ketchup
I'm not much of a "Snowball" person and Wonderbread is definitely a Flashback Food from my younger days. But Hostess Cupcakes and Hostess Fruit Pies are on top of the "Quality Calorie" list at the Cunningham house.
If you're watching what you eat (and who isn't these days) . . . Hostess products -- especially a cherry fruit pie -- is one of the only choices for me when it's time to wolf down 500 calories of meaningless sugar. (If you're not inclined to drive thru for a Cheese-Double-Cheese from Rally's.)
THE BEST 500 CALORIES -- EVER!!
You Hostess Workers and Hostess Owners gotta get together and work things out. Seriously . . . This can be fixed. And if you can't work it out . . . Just sell the secrets to somebody else . . . and let them bake all of the sweet treats.
Quite honestly . . . I don't care how it gets done . . . I need a damn Hostess Cherry Pie . . . AND . . .
I NEED IT NOW!!
