The Internet Mourns Twinkies

You've probably heard by now that Hostess, the company that manufactures Twinkies, HoHos, and Wonder Bread is going out of business. They filed for bankruptcy in January, and filed a court request for liquidation this week. The loss of Twinkles is a particularly hard blow for junk food junkies, and folks across the internet wasted no time in sharing their grief. Ranker has gathered the best reaction Tweets, image macros, and videos for your sharing pleasure. Link

Twinkies will still be made. They'll just be churned out by a different corporate entity using lower-paid workers, while the corporate looters who ran Hostess into the ground walk away with their profits.

This was why Woody Harrelson's character in Zombieland was looking for them. The zombie apocalypse is near.

If Mars was covered in Twinkies, I bet NASA would already be planning a mission to bring them back to Earth.

The fact that America is more worried about the loss of Twinkies than a manned space program is cause for concern.

A world without Twinkies was the original pitch for Revolution. NBC changed it because it seemed too impossible. The aftermath too savage.
