As you will no doubt remember, it being the most important news story of the year, Hostess Brands went bankrupt a few months ago due to industrial action shenanigans. The US government, who saw fit to bail out corrupt banks to the tune of billions, decided not to intervene. If you want any proof of the faulty moral compass of this country, there it is.
Luckily private equity stepped in (while the final boxes of Twinkies changed hands for hundreds of dollars on ebay). Although production lines began rolling again in July, demand was understandably such that I've had to live through months of "Dream Cakes" and other pretenders filling up our local Target shelves.
But no more! With a new box boasting "The Sweetest Comeback in the History of Ever" the cream-filled pieces of heaven were back on display today, and the main reason I moved across the Atlantic returned. Mmmm mmm.
From this...
...to this!
