Throwback Thursday Twinkie Style
Back in 2012, Hostess, the glorious company that creates Twinkies, was forced to close its doors and no longer produce its delectable treats and confections.
To commemorate/mourn this joyous/tragic event, I have collected a number of humorous headlines and stories detailing the loss of the Twinkie.
Ripped Straight from the Headlines
- Twinkies die out just before the end of the Mayan calendar. Coincidence? I think not!
- "Fat Cat CEOs seek for golden twinkie parachutes."
- Hostess files for bankruptcy just as States begin to legalize marijuana. Such tragic irony...
- The economic bad news just keeps coming! The worst economic news to hit America in centuries! Hostess, that dispenser of all things tasty, that crowning king of creamy and sweet, has declared bankruptcy!!! You will no longer be able to feel superior for not eating twinkies. The wonderful ding-dong chimes will no longer be heard. The chocodiles are now extinct, gone the way of the dinosaurs! Hold back the tears, America! Hold back the tears! Fear not! Obama has declared Hostess: "Too yummy to fail!!!"
- This is far more grave and sobering than the collapse of the banking sector or auto industry. I fear for my country with such deliciousness in peril. All processed-food loving patriots must rally in defense of this vital industry. I propose an immediate trillion chocodile bailout and "Cash for Twinkies" program. We must recognize that all Americans have an unalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of powdered sugar covered donut holes. This great American company is simply too tasty to fail.
