Personally I am a Ding Dong person but I can see the appeal of
Twinkies. Even if I didn't care for them at all I still think Robyn's
"Ode to Twinkies" would have brought a big smile to my face. So this
morning I invite you all to head over to Life by Chocolate and read what
Robyn has to say.
Life by Chocolate: Robyn Alana Engel's Blog: Ode to the Twinkie: Oh Twinkie, Dear Twinkie So light and so long Though your creme was real sweet I preferred the Ding Dong. Oh Twinkie, Dear Twi...
A little about the subject.
First introduced in 1933 Twinkies
have become a part of American culture. They have been in the news on a
number of occasions, taking their fair measure of criticism (the Twinkies Defense)
and yet remain popular to this day. While their maker Hostess may not
survive it's financial woes, as Tom Krisher of the Associated Press
writes Twinkies will survive even if Hostess doesn't.
Of
course to see it on the internet one is lead to believe otherwise. I
guess one could argue that while another company can buy the brand and
recipes, it just will not be the same. Just like your meatloaf is just
not as good as your mother's, even though you follow her recipe. So who
knows maybe this is the beginning of the end for Twinkies.
So are you a Twinkies fan or a Ding Dong lover?

We are Little Debbie's people over here, but I still LOVED Robyn's Ode to a Twinkie.
Nita, what a delightful surprise to see my blog post highlighted here. Thanks so much! It will be very interesting to see/sample attempts to mimic the Twinkie. I can't imagine any other company will be successful, but, as you say, who knows.
Thanks again. YOU brought a smile to my face.
Ah, I miss the Ding Dong!
