Dearly Beloved,
We are gathered here today to mourn the death of an American legend: Hostess.
In the sixties, Hostess said even a bomb could not kill the Twinkie, but sadly, the fallout from the recession has done exactly that.
Hostess sent out information yesterday that they are going out of business.
This beloved company baked Twinkies; Ding Dongs; Ho Hos; Drake\’s cakes and of course that space-age bread, Wonder Bread.
