Does this make me look fat?
Hell yes bitches!


Just 488 hours from now (and counting), the sugary confections will be back on sale, which means you can get your hands on Hostess products beginning July 15. CNN Money reports all Hostess and Dolly Madison items - that's CupCakes, Donettes, Zingers, Ho Hos, Ding Dongs, fruit pies, and mini muffins - will make the July 15 deadline. They report Sno Balls may take longer...............

Sad to hear about the delay on Sno Balls but at this point I'll take what I can get.

'New' Twinkies weigh less, have fewer calories

Twinkies are back, but they may be a bit smaller than you remember.

The new owners of Hostess have leaner operating costs now that they're no longer using unionized workers. It turns out the spongy yellow cakes may also be a little smaller than the last Twinkies people ate.

The new boxes hitting shelves list the cakes as having 270 calories and a weight of 77 grams for two cakes, or 135 calories and 38.5 grams for one cake.

Right before it went out of business, the predecessor company had told The Associated Press that Twinkies were 150 calories per cake. Photos of past boxes online also indicate the weight to have been 42.5 grams per cake.

A spokeswoman for Hostess, Hannah Arnold, said in an email Monday that the size change was made in "mid-2012" by the predecessor company. That would mean it happened in the months leading up to its bankruptcy, as the company was trying to keep its head above water financially.
