It was somehow national news, and now they're sitting on store shelves. How did you hear they were gone and miss they were back? It was pretty much same day on the news cycle. Do you just not go into grocery stores?

Or, really, how did anyone think their being gone was anything other than a temporary situation at the most? The brand is way too valuable.

The media narrative was that it was the result of greedy union members ruining the all-American Twinkie, so I'm not surprised there wasn't much coverage on their immediate return, once the old management was gone.

They never even stopped production in non-American markets. It was just a big anti-union show.

Also to artificially increase demand, I guess. See "nerds buying cases of the stuff on eBay."

Yeah if you're not ten. They're garbage food, they're lower on the "real food" scale than filled donuts.
Those green ninja turtle pudding pies were really good though.

You know Breaking Bad would have been the best show on television if it had actually been about making Twinkies instead of meth. But only if they had changed that and nothing else.

She's Sun Girl, daughter of Lightmaster, using her super villain dad's equipment to do good. Unfortunately probably won't be seen anywhere outside of Yost's books, same with Aracely, both are really fun new characters.
