Twinkie hoarding begins! - Nov. 16, 2012 Every now and then a event occurs that you can recall where you were when you heard ....  This is one of those events. 

Where do we begin? Who here remembers the twinkie in their school lunchbox?

Just hours after Twinkies maker Hostess declared it will shut down for good, grocery stores nationwide are already experiencing a run on Twinkies and the company's other iconic products like Wonder Bread, Hostess Cup Cakes and Ding Dongs.

"We're definitely seeing a sharp increase in purchases of Hostess products today," said Mike Siemienas, spokesman for grocery store operator Supervalu. "We expect this will continue as more consumers become aware of the news.

Worst of all, does this make iconic movies like Ghostbusters just a little less relevant, a little more dated?

  1. Twinkies weren't that good to begin with. Now people are assigning some type of iconic status just because they have suddenly become unavailable. Never thought about them. Wont miss them.
