HoHos, Ding Dongs, and Twinkies - oh my! I grew up noshing on their Honey Buns from any vending machine, convenience store, or grocery store. As a child, our house didn't keep Hostess treats because we couldn't afford them. Thank goodness my friends' families could and we ate our weight in HoHos, Ding Dongs, and Twinkies. Especially when best friend's Mother worked at our elementary school and she kept a "snack drawer" full of chips, and Hostess snacks. We would sneak in her office throughout the day when we wanted to have a treat or a snack!
Hostess started with the cupcake in 1919. Wow, that is 106 years ago! Twinkies were introduced in 1930 followed by mini donuts in 1940, SnoBalls in 1950, and Ding Dongs in 1967. Zingers and HoHos arrived on the scene in 1970 and Hostess turned 100 in 2019 and celebrated with special Birthday CupCakes to commemorate their Sweetennial! Last year, Hostess introduced Kazbars layer bars and Meltamors mini cakes.
Thank you, Hostess for sweet, fond memories! read more
