Good news, America! It is being reported by NBC News and published in the New York Post that America's favorite snack will once again be on grocery and convenience store shelves by late July. That's right, folks. Twinkies are coming back to satisfy our cravings for sweet treats.
Hedge fund Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co purchased the assets of Hostess Brands, Inc for $410 million at the beginning of April. It set up Hostess Brands LLC to run the day to day operation. Unions will not be invited to provide workers in this non-union company. The company is set to hire 200 workers as it starts production on Hostess Donettes and Twinkies in Columbus, Georgia this summer.
By the end of September, the company plans to have Ho Ho's, Zingers, Cup Cakes, Snow Balls, Susie-Q's and Ding Dongs in the production line and on grocery shelves for us to enjoy.
So, Friends, start saving up those calories, get that coffee brewing (or whatever your favorite beverage), dream about that great tasting secret cream filling and get ready to enjoy that time-honored tasty treat that we all grew up on.
So, nice try, Twinkie knock offs. Get lost, pretend Cup Cakes. Good riddance, fake Dinging Dongers. Your time is done and we hardly knew you.
So sing that song, one and all: Happy days are here again!
