USA made, no other company/country has the same recipe

Canada does, and we are still selling them.

They are not worth 1btc each - someone will buy the US rights and produce them again within a year.

Certainly not worth the $5000, $8000 and $10000 (actually sold for $10k!) they are listed for on eBay.

Not sold for 10k yet. It's just a bid, and a fake one too.

I love you.

I have never had a twinkie, and I was afraid I was going to have to pay $60 for a box just so I could say I've tried them.

Wow...I was like WTF?  Hadn't heard that Hostess was shutting down!  Truly unbelievable.  Good thing I never cared much for twinkies!

I'm here in my cozy bed, watching TV and savoring a Twinkie. You sir will never ever get to taste one again.

The twinkie recipe will be purchased by another company.  Twinkies are going nowhere.

Looks like the Canadian company Saputo Inc will be selling the cakes in the USA....

There are lots of variants from the Hostess version, so the Canadian one won't be anything special, but they might get more sales here than they would have before.

There is no difference between the Canadian sold Twinkie and the one in the USA...


IMO they're the same.... I really don't find them all that great anyway.. I would prefer a nice Empire apple :)
