Tis true, although their Distributorship was entangled along with many other smaller brand names in order to beef the deliveries and in turn...the Outlets were then delivered those products by the drivers once those products rendered the end of their 'grocery store' shelf life and will get their last chance to be eaten thru the Outlets. Some of those smaller brands will suffer without the distribution center powers of the late Hostess brand. :candle: I wanted to add that I do not condone the practices of Big Company mentality, not at all. If you're gonna run an American icon Company like a buncha cream filled Asshats, eventually you're going to be exposed for it and your shelf life will...expire. There are still many good people with the monetary means to pick up where they expired and renew the Brands and run the Company all proper. I'm a Dreamer like that. :moonstars: I was reading something yesterday that pointed towards conversation the Ladies of the Outlet were having over the inner company animosity toward 'some' of the employees who they said would not '...just back off a bit'. That made sense to me when I read this part from CNN Money pages: Quote:

The Rise and Fall of The Twinkie
They started out back in 1930, an era when people actually paid attention to seasonality in foods.
James A. Dewar, who worked at Hostess predecessor Continental Baking Company in Schiller, Ill., wanted to find a way to use the bakery's shortbread pans year round. The shortbread was filled with strawberries, but strawberries were only available for a few weeks a year. So he used the oblong pans to bake spongecakes, which he then filled with banana cream. Bananas were a more regular crop. Twinkies once contained real fruit. Twinkies were created because of seasonality. Then, World War II hit and rationing meant — say it with me — Yes! We have no bananas. And so was born the vanilla cream Twinkie, which was vastly more popular anyway. Even then, there was a crafted element to these treats. The filling was added by hand using a foot pedal-powered pump. Pump too hard and the Twinkies exploded. It was around this time that American food culture did an about face. It was an era when the industrialization and processing of cheap food wasn't just desired, it was glorified. Cans and chemicals could set you free. Twinkies are the prototypical indestructible junk food. It was the sort of height to which American technological ingenuity could go to create a product that was almost entirely artificial, but gave the appearance of eclairs." When Twinkies signed on as a sponsor of the "Howdy Doody" show during the 1950s, their cultural legacy was sealed. Taglines such as "The snacks with a snack in the middle" began etching themselves into generations of young minds and it was considered perfectly fine that Twinkie the Kid would lasso and drag children before stuffing his sugar bombs in their faces. Sure, not all the attention was positive. Somewhere along the line, Twinkies became the butt of jokes, mostly about their perceived longevity (though Hostess staunchly maintains 25 days is the max). And not all associations were great. The so-called "Twinkie defense" came out of the 1979 murder trial of Dan White, whose lawyers included his junk food obsession among the evidence of his supposed altered state of mind. Then something happened. Suddenly, Americans who for decades had been tone deaf to how food was produced suddenly started paying attention. Suddenly, products, that had so prospered by their artificiality, lost their allure. Even Hostess, has acknowledged that consumer concern about health and food quality changed the game. http://news.yahoo.com/happens-twinki...--finance.html |

How long do Twinkies last anyway?
Even if they freeze, at a certain point, if everyone eats them: they will all be gone. I have an vision of people all across America (the globe?) gorging themselves on Twinkies right about now. What will state fairs do without Twinkies to deep fry? The mind wanders... |

Not to put a sick twist on this whole thing but did anyone notice that Dan White of the famous "Twinkie Defense" only lived to be 39 years old?
Wonder what that says about his Twinkie diet. In a bizarre twist of fate the date of his death, not the year, is the same date Oct 21st, that was named "Leslie Feinberg day in San Francisco (2007) Just some random data that popped into my over caffeinated brain. |
WTF
Turkey Stuffed With Twinkies Is, In Fact, An Actual Recipe From The 'Twinkies Cookbook' There is an infinite number of recipes and iterations for turkey and stuffing. We can appreciate a new twist on a classic, but the recipe for "Twinkling Turkey" from the Twinkies Cookbook has us a bit wary. In the recipe below, the cake part of the Twinkie is used as a stuffing ingredient while the cream filling becomes a sauce for turkey. For the stuffing, Twinkies and a Hostess corn muffin mix are combined with diced apple and stuffed into the bird. For the sauce, the cream filling is combined with honey and brushed on the turkey during the last fifteen minutes of roasting. Sure, it's a creative use of a Twinkie, but creativity doesn't always translate into tastiness. See the full recipe after the poll. Quick Poll Would you eat Twinkling Turkey? Yes, anything made with Twinkies deserves to be eaten. No way, Twinkies do not belong in stuffing. I'm not sure. Twinkling Turkey (serves 15 to 20) Ingredients 1 (8 1/2 ounce) package yellow corn muffin mix, prepared and baked according to package instructions 6 Twinkies halves lengthwise 1 (14-18-pound) turkey 1 tart apple, peeled, cored and diced 1/4 cup honey Instructions Remove the muffins from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Scrape the creme-filling out of the Twinkies with a small spoon and reserve in small bowl. Cut the Twinkie pastry into cubes and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 – 10 minutes, until lightly toasted. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Decrease the oven temperature to 325 degrees. Rinse the turkey. Crumble muffins into a bowl, add the apple and toasted Twinkies and mix lightly. Loosely stuff the mixture into the turkey and truss the legs. Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack set in a roasting pan. Roast the turkey for 12 to 15 minutes per pound, until the thigh temperature reaches 175 degrees to 180 degrees and the juices run clear. In a small bowl, combine the honey with the reserved creme filling and mix well. Brush the turkey with the honey mixture during the last ten to fifteen minutes of roasting time. Remove the turkey from the oven and let stand for 20 minutes before carving. |

I woke up with a craving for ding dongs this morning.. wth.. I haven't had a ding dong in years. Figures.. I want something I can't have. I might have to go in search of the elusive ding dong!

Okay so I thought I would be okay reverting back to Drake's cakes.. you know .. devil dogs... ring dings...yankee doodles... etc.. I had those more as a kid because we lived on the east coast. Now I find out that hostess owns them and they are closing down as well!!! This is a serious bummer for today because of a memory.. way back in the day.. my dad had a CB radio.. remember those?? His handle was devil dog.. so, being the little kid that I was.. I was the devil dog jr., I would walk around with my walkie talkie and could actually get some cbs on it from time to time.
Ah well... RIP Drakes Cakes http://www.retroland.com/wp-content/...300_a01_12.jpg |
