twinkie

I stepped out the studio this afternoon and into the office and there it was, a fresh, unwrapped single Twinkie! I'm sure the grocery and convenience stores are running out of Twinkies and other Hostess products after the word spread that its maker, Hostess / Wonder Bread, was going out of business.

Last week we got some sad news. Hostess, the company that makes Twinkies, among other artificially-flavored treats, will declare bankruptcy. Taking it upon herself to preserve what she calls the “creamy goo that holds this country together” talk show host and sweet tooth Wendy Williams has launched a campaign to “Save the Twinkie.”
