Really is harsher in hindsight when you think about it.

To be honest I can't say that I will miss Hostess all that much. Don't get me wrong, it is a great company with good products, but it's just the fact that I don't eat them or get them often at all. What I got most from them is those little mini doughnuts that come in the six-packs. Love the crumb ones. The filled cupcakes and snoballs are good too at times. I actually was never too crazy for twinkies. I really feel for the 10,000 plus layoff of the workers. I did hear that another company could buy them and continue making these cake snacks, still it wouldn't be the same. Hostess stuff is going for bids on a big money craze on Ebay now. I mean come on, they gotta be joking...: www.ebay.com/itm/Hostess-donettes-Frosted-Mini-Donuts-/121022499555?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c2d80cae3

Twenty-One Million Dollars for a box of Doughnuts!? That person is being greedy, no one has that kind of money! You could build a new School or Hospital for that kind of money! They should be flagged for charging a ridiculous price! Shouldn't they?

I heard a rumor that another company is going to buy Hostess and keep the goodies manufacturing; don't know who yet though.

And if they do.. it'd mean hundreds of people realized they wasted hundreds of dollars, some thousands thinking they're buying the "last of the twinkies" on eBay.
Is it cruel that I'd be laughing if that's the case? XD

$21 million for doughnuts?! Yikes!
They forget about about what Apu taught us when he lost his job at the Kwik-E-Mart: "You cannot hurt a Twinkie!"

There is a store right across the street from my home that is selling Hostess products for a dollar each now. I should probably take advantage of this and get rich.
