That's right folks they are back and will be here mid July! So now we will truly be prepared for the Zombie apocalypse. According to CNN
The new Twinkies box will look very similar to the old one, with the addition of the line "The sweetest comeback in the history of ever." The price will stay the same as last fall - $3.99 for a box of 10

Makes the morons who paid hundreds for "the last boxes ever" look pretty awesome, lol.

Talk about smart business 101. Make your product scarce, drive the price up... go AWOL for half a year and bring it back for the nostalgic folk.

Hostess is no longer.....the company (there were two main companies that purchased all of their major products) that purchased the rights to Twinkie's finally made the announcement about the return. The sale was finally confirmed not too long ago and we have been waiting on an announcement of what products are coming back, naturally this one had the most attention. Curious to see what other snack cakes come back from the sale.

I think for most its a nostalgia thing....but I do love me some damn Twinkies. I had a Twinkie holder sent to me as a joke on my first deployment...I used him as a "Roaming Gnome"

I'm way more excited about Ding Dongs, but I'll be buying both the very first time I see them on the shelves. I'm pretty pumped about this.

Nice! Also they are actually going to have a longer shelf life this time around...no I'm not joking lol
The Metropoulous Family that took over Pabst Blue Ribbon are also responsible for saving Hostess, the makers of Twinkies. There has been a long held misconception that Twinkies had a shelf like of basically centuries. In fact, they were really only recommend fresh for 26 days.
In a week when you are doing your PBR tallboy/Twinkie pairings, note that they will have double the shelf life – up to 45 days. While the ingredients are still a secret, I’m assuming there is some new preservative in the remake.

I was seriously crushed yesterday when I realized it wasn't the 15th already. For some reason I thought it was and had planned on going to buy a few boxes and being them to work. Oh well... only a few more days.

Evidently I missed my opportunity to buy any until the second shipment because I didn't get there early enough... empty shelves.
