Are you happy Atkins?! Twinkies bankrupt!

The snack treat that could survive nuclear fallout apparently can’t survive the low carb craze.

I hope they can pull through this crisis and continues making the sweet treats because sometimes you just need to have a twinkie…

or a ho-ho.

Weird – just the other day I saw a Wonder Bread delivery truck and said to my friend, “Who the hell eats Wonder Bread these days?”

Apparently the answer is – no one.

Yeah, America is just soooo much slimmer now that carbs are considered poison.

Dear TwinkieCo.

I’m off to buy some Twinkies. I never did get around to deep frying them, something I have been dying to do.

Sincerely,
Philster – All 5’10" and 175lbs of me.

P.S. I know Twinkies can be part of my diet.

Thank gawd for fad diets. How else were people to know that Twinkies are unhealthy?

I lost all hope for humanity after “low carb” coke.

And I still don’t get that. It still tastes like a half diet Coke and half coke mixture… why not just drink Diet Coke (superior in taste anyway, imho)

If this costs me the ability to go to Kwik-E-Mart and buy a couple Chocodiles, after I take over the world, the fad dieters will be the first against the wall!

Mmmmmmmmmmmm…Chocodiles… :smiley:

Don’t send the Fad Dieters to the wall…deep-fry them!

Holy cow. Someone finally figured out how to destroy a Twinkie.

Wow, 8 posts! That’s the most posts a thread I started has received. Whoo!
Anyway, if Twinkies go under what will Survivalists stock their shelters with? What will people with the middle of the night munchies buy at the all night convenience store? What will I put in my Twinkie case!? We can’t let this happen, everyone needs to go out and but a box of Twinkies or Ho-Ho’s! C’mon do it for the kids, do it for humanity! How could we live in a world without Twinkies?

Aggggg you HAD to mention Chocodiles didn’t you?!

Fear not, my husband, a fireman, panicked when I told him the bad news. He immediately activated the emergency phone tree among the other firefighter in the area. Then he hopped in the car racing off to buy all the Twinkies® he could find.

WTF is a chocodile?

It’s basically a twinkie that is covered in the same kind of chocolate found on Ho-Hos and Ding-Dongs. I haven’t seen one in years though.

Yes, let’s blame our inability to remake and rennovate our product, on the low-carb “craze”. Yes, because we were too short sighted or not creative enough, we now blame some one or something else for our failings.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I still had some hope until I saw low carb wine.

Ah, my thanks to you, BoS.

I don’t even like Twinkies. :eek:

I’m the only one, right?

And Twinkie the Kid rides off into the sunset…

Oh, I’m sure they’ll get the government to bail them out like Chrysler did.
