Okay, this is just wrong

My friend, and a great writer, Jennifer Griffith, wrote about this two weeks ago, but I am a bit slow about some things, and I don't like stepping on anyone else's blog, either. She writes, when not writing books, the blog "Cotton Candy for the Soul" right here...check her out...anyway, I had to say Something about this or I'd feel terrible. Hostess is soon to be no more? Can this be true? No more Twinkies, Cupcakes, Snoballs...etc?? Come ON. I realize that things are getting pretty brutal in the world, but losing something as basic as Wonder Bread...really? I grew UP with this stuff, and I am OLD. HOW, with more kids than ever, not to mention the folks who may not have kids, but DO have the munchies, are we to survive THIS abomination? Is there a person over 40 that has not sucked the filling out of a Twinkie with a straw, just to see if it could really be done, OR peeled the top off of a Hostess Cupcake to save it for the end? There will be no more trifles being built by Americans because the Twinkie is the American version of a ladyfinger, and you cannot make a trifle without them, period. And like Jennifer said, what about other desserts? We are talking about basically the first official "junk food" here, folks. I know that there are plenty of toddlers and tokers to keep Hostess in business, come on now. Wonder is the best white bread of the bunch. It builds strong bodies 12 ways, after all!
I don't know if they are in the type of bankruptcy where you are truly dead and gone forever, or the kind where you keep going, but you're protected by law from your creditors until you get caught up, but if it's the second, PLEASE help. Neither Little Debbie, Archway or the Girl Scouts  have a THING that compares with a beautiful, golden Twinkie or a cute pair of cupcakes with that adorable squiggle on top. There are many pretenders, but only ONE Hostess. If there is a "Snoball"s chance in the world of saving Hostess, let's DO it, America. We have pulled together for less, haven't we?
I have to get to the store now and see if it's too late...I hope not. IF for no other reason, know that if you buy, buy, buy, they will keep until you are ready for them. Maybe that's the problem, maybe people stocked up and aren't eating. If that's the case, cut it out and start eating. If you're waiting for the end of the world to have a "Hostess fest", well, I think it's time, don't you? Just read the news, and you'll have the sudden urge for that creamy center, the chocolaty top, the springy outsides, all of it. We have an amphibian and a baseball glove running for President, how much more do you need to get hungry for those luscious treats??
Just sayin'
A suddenly hungry Dragonfly, out.
