I never cared for the twinkies but liked the other stuff.   Squid they probably will start making em somewhere else, if so I won't buy em.

Most of the products you can get under different names by different companies. That said, they never taste the same with Twinkies. Too bad...

Canada is still making Twinkies and the rest of the Hostess products!
