No More Twinkies
Bye Bye Hostess, Bye Bye Twinkies you little pieces of heaven fill with yummy frosting.
The sad news was released yesterday that Hostess is closing its factories down after filing for bankruptcy, the world’s favorite snack food will cease to exist.
But with any ending there are opportunists lurking in the corner thinking how they can make a buck off the happenings. On eBay the market for Twinkies and Twinkie related products is booming!
Here’s what’s currently up for sale and bid on eBay (according to Mashable):
- For a price of $89.95, three boxes of SEALED Box of Hostess Chocodiles 3×10 Chocolate Twinkies
- For a price of $99.99, four boxes of SEALED Box of Hostess Chocodiles 4×10 Chocolate Twinkies
- For a starting bid of $500, one Box of Twinkies; Unopened
- For a starting bid of $10, and a price of $595, a box of 10, opened and half-eaten
- For a starting bid of $5,000, a single Twinkie
- And finally, for a starting bid of $10,000 … a box of Twinkies (one of the last boxes that will be available, its seller helpfully notes, before the Zombie Apocalypse)
We Said This: Get your hands on a Twinkie and keep it close, it just may be worth more than you expect in the near future!
