Twinkie Fans Delight in Hostess Return From Zombie Death
This article is for subscribers only.
In the movie “Zombieland,” Woody Harrelson had to slay three of the undead to get his hands on a Twinkie. Real-life junkies pining for the return of the spongy yellow creme log won’t have to go to such lengths.
Today Hostess Brands LLC officially revives the iconic snack cake, following a seven-month hiatus after the original company decided to liquidate under bankruptcy. The confection maker will put Twinkies, CupCakes and Ding Dongs in stores across the U.S. Some retailers, including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., couldn’t wait for the official rollout and began selling the cakes early. Hostess said it hadn’t given any retailers permission to sell its products before today.
