Actually, the value of Twinkies plummeted only a week or so after the announcement that Hostess would be shutting down. People finally realized how dumb they were being and now you can get a box for just slightly more than retail value.[/QUOTE]
i still hold onto hope someone somewhere is stockpiling twinkies for the end of the world just like that family guy episode and the twinkie factor.
