    The spongecake tasted really cheaply made, not like real spongecake and the cream didn't taste like real cream.

    Little Debbie snack cakes (which no doubt also cut corners) tasted a lot more real.

    We had them over here in Australia a while back. Then one day nothing. Didn't know they went out of business. I loved them. Don't know why but the mention of the Twinkies reminds me of that black cop in the movie DIE HARD who always had a pack handy....

    Sadly the crunch of the sugar is gone just like the twinkie,they are full of this white tasteless airy stuff.

    Last twinkie I had was a deep fried one (that was an experience and a long story) and before that had not had one in about 7 years or some absurd number but I will miss the Hostess powdered donuts.

    Unfortunately it's not just twinkie's, but many other brands / items that are also going away from stores. I'm sure someone will step in and buy them out to start selling the brand, but not without making it cheaper and a reduced work force.

    I prefer moon pies anyway and only get them when I travel south or family brings them up.
