Goodbye mr twinkie.

I am writing today with a heavy heart. Today marks the end of hostess brand snacks.No more cupcakes twinkies or ding dongs. I loved the cherry pies rinced down with an ice cold mountain dew in a glass bottle. The stomach ache and terrible pain that followed after i ate 3 ding dongs in 23 seconds was well worth it.Mom just knew I loved hostess cupcakes so that was always the treat i got if i promised to eat my sandwhich  first which i usually did. I confess i never really did like twinkies much but i did enjoy making my friend chuck mad by calling his beloved minnesota twins the twinkies. I guess there is not much else i can do to relay both my gladness and sadness regarding this important event. What my stomach wants to do is buy thousands of snacks and store them so that i can hang on to that last bit of sugary goodness. What by heart wants to do is make the disagreement between the cupcake people and its workers go away!! But what my brain wants to do is probably the right thing which is to thank hostess and all of its workers over the years for making my childhood better and giving me memories that i will last a lifetime.
