Real end of the world disaster... No more twinkies!!

[Cdnwolf]

The world is mourning the news that Hostess Brands Inc., maker of the iconic comfort sweets Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Snowball Cakes and Ho Hos, plans to shut down. As expected, social networks have spiraled into full-fledged panic mode, with nostalgic shoppers racing to stores to stockpile the plastic-wrapped snacks. After all, Twinkies basically last forever, right?

It's a common urban legend that the "golden sponge cake with creamy filling" has an absurdly long shelf life--in Disney's WALL-E, a Twinkie is found completely undecayed, 700 years after the Earth is deemed uninhabitable. And once, a science teacher in Maine kept an unwrapped Twinkie atop his chalkboard for 30 years, telling the Associated Press, "It's rather brittle, but if you dusted it off, it's probably still edible."


BUT THERE IS HOPE!!!


Twinkies are still produced in Canada by Saputo Incorporated's Vachon Inc., which owns the Canadian rights for the product from Hostess and not affected by the actions state side
