News broke this morning that Hostess, the company who makes the Twinkie, the Ding Dong, the Ho Ho, Wonder Bread, and other notable household brands is shutting its doors after a failed Union labor negotiation. The company didn’t have the financial reserves to continue operating during a prolonged strike. Yet another example of Unions destroying American business, as nearly all of Hostess’ 18,500 employees are now unemployed. But I digress.
Here are 10 great tweets about the Twinkie.
What am I going to do now? My favorite lunch is a pack of #Hostess #Twinkies washed down with a Five Hour Energy Drink

Fun fact: as a kid, I once ate 12 #Twinkies in an eating contest against my cousin. He beat me with 14. Ah, those were the days! — Beth Sachan (@betheats) November 16, 2012

#Twinkies in the news: President Clinton put one in a White House Millennium time capsule back in 1999. It’s still there. — West Wing Reports (@WestWingReport) November 16, 2012
Guess state fairs have to find something else to deep fat fry. #Twinkies

Hostess is liquidating, which means there will be no more#Twinkies. Luckily, the Twinkies I currently have stashed are fresh until 2085. — April Wheeler (@LABeachmom) November 16, 2012
Someone needs to save the #Twinkies before Honey Boo Boo withers away.
