The Twinkies gouging has started

[acstorfer]

Wow, in a world without Twinkies we never would have heard of the "Twinkie" defense in court. I mean seriously, a world where you can't blame murderous rampages on junk food is perhaps a world I don't want to live in

Obama should have Marines and Navy take over Hostess!...make Twinkles onboard battles ships and drive them to American ports...just a thought...

 

[Notorious BFG]

I make usually 2, fresh, twice a day with no preservatives.

These bids are all fake. People with 3 feedback and mostly 0 feedback. Nobody actually pays for these and the seller is stuck trying to get his seller fees back.

Hostess Twinkies Original Golden Sponge Cakes Creamy Filling | eBay


This seller just got a negative feedback for this listing. And from a 3 feeback user! How is this possible?

As if he was going to pay $7,600 for the 22 boxes in the pic. The seller should say, you can have them all.

I don't think any twinkies are actually made in Canada.

Yes, they are.

Weston Foods owns the trademark for several Hostess products (Wonder Bread, etc.) and Saputo owns the trademark on others (Twinkies, etc.). It has been all over the news that we in Canada are not affected at all and links to some of those stories have been posted here.

OK.

I don't know anything about Ebay. At all.

 

[colchar]

Well are they made in Canada or just packaged here ??? Time will tell.

No, time will not tell as there is nothing to tell. They are made in Canada and we are not affected by Hostess going under. Seriously, this is all over the news so why can some people not seem to get it?

Hurrah! We have Twinkies!

Am I reading something incorrectly, or is one box of Twinkies selling for over $5,000?

There is no way that winning price is real.

 

[Skintaster]

Who cares? Seriously. Within six months most of the Hostess brands... The popular ones anyway... Will almost assuredly be available again from another manufacturer that buys the recipe. If not, we can just import them from Canada apparently.

Trash culture. People eating swill and proud. Walk. Work-out. Have pride. The whole world is Trash now. No sense at all. I can't wait to brainwash my flock. FUZZCULT is coming. "Here morons eat sugar, play with your phone, watch 'faux" stars on Tv....so ripe for the picking. I'm salivating .

So this whole Hostess ordeal is getting out of hand.

I work in a grocery store and typically take phone calls for people looking for specific items. Over the past three days, countless people have called asking if we have Hostess products left... we don't.

So last night, I'm on my break, I get paged to take a phone call and when I answered it, this lady was screaming at her kids about nothing. So I'm listening to her scream and finally I yell "What do you need!?" because she won't shut up. She said "I need Twinkies... Please tell me you have some." I told her we're out and she asks if I can go in the back and check for more. Well, since we don't keep backstock of Hostess products because it's brought in by vendors, I told her we have nothing.

I shit you not, the lady started crying over the phone. She started begging me to find some. "Can't you get on your computer and see if your other stores have any?" Uh, no, we don't have a system that inventories each and every one of the hundreds of thousands of items in a grocery store. After she started sobbing, she said thanks and hung up and I just started laughing.

If you cry over Twinkies, you need to reevaluate your priorities in life.

I used to be the head of tech support for an internet and cable provider. I once had to deal with a customer who was sobbing over the phone because her remote control had broken. Thinking she might be disabled and thus incapable of changing the channel without the remote I politely asked is she was and was told no. So that dumb bitch was just too stupid and lazy to walk over to her TV to change the channel.
