Zingers and some of the other products were actually under the umbrella of a subdivision of Hostess called Dolly Madison. Dolly Madison rather famously featured Charles Schultz's Peanuts characters as product branding on all their packages, and they were the featured sponsor for Peanuts holiday specials like Charlie Brown Christmas and It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown back in the 60's and 70's (with Coca-Cola being a co-sponsor of the original airing of the Christmas special.) In 2012, Dolly Madison was liquidated from Hostess, which was bought by Apollo Global Management in 2013 for around $430 Million. So selling it to Smucker's a mere decade later for $5.6 Billion was a pretty good return on investment.
Also, there was a Banana Crème Zinger that was my absolute favorite way back when and I need them to bring that flavor back before I shuffle off this mortal coil.

Couple of things they should have included. The Drake's Cakes law suit over the Ding Ding vs their Ring Ding, and the banana cream of Twinkies until WW2. Very surprised at the omissions of these critical points in Hostess history.

I love the powdered raspberry filled donuts. I don think they sell those anymore? Not only are they good but they have a special place in my heart. My uncle, who has since passed away used to sneak a box and share them with me â¤

I like seeing funny food references in movies (I know, weird, right?) One of my favorites is in Ghost Rider 2. One of the bad guys becomes decay. Everything he touches decays and goes bad or disintegrates. In one scene he is driving a car (don't ask why the car did not rust when he touched it) and he is trying to eat something while driving. He grabs a few things that go bad instantly. All but a Twinkie. He ate that just fine.

I have not had a Hostess Twinkie in many, many years, but I do remember just how great a treat they were. I know they are full of sugar and people say they are bad for you. Only life is way too short not to enjoy a twinkie every now and then. After all we all are gonna die. Enjoy a twinkie before you kick the bucket~~~!!! Shalom

Request fir a follow up video. Zingers were originally produced and sold by the Dolly Madison Bakery and used Peanuts characters in its ads. Snoopy would appear in the ads as the Zinger Zapper. Hostess eventually bought Dolly Madison. And don't ask for a Zinger in Trinidad and Tobago - unless you want a chicken sandwich rather than a snack cake.

I woulda been devastated had you not mentioned Zombieland in any way, shape or form.

There are often treats in the break room at work. Last week somebody put out Twinkies. It was a good day.đ

Anybody else remember Hostess gaslighting us by changing the name of Ding Dongs to King Don's... and then back to Ding Dongs?

I think the Twinkie scene from Ghostbusters was part of the public outcry to bring Twinkies back. Never underestimate the power of pop culture to save a brand, I guess...

Should be noted that the whole reason Hostess went under like it did was because the Board of Directors didnât want to pay their workers fairly or provide health benefits, failed to squash the union, then slammed the company into the ground so they could make millions each.
Twinkies arenât the only thing that should be eaten.

Sno Balls were always my favorite. In addition to the taste, I was always fascinated by the stretchy marshmallow exterior covered in sweet, coconutty flecks of goodness before diving into the cream-filled chocolate cake inside.

Hostess came back, but it's not the same. Little Debbie never left. She's the only one you can trust now.

I grew up in Chicago with a Hostess factory nearby. They had a factory store. We ate like KINGS!
I suspect someone bled the company dry, profiting handsomely until they bankrupted the company. Happens a lot when companies lose market share. Someone swoops in, cashes out what they can, the company goes bankrupt and nobody's the wiser. I'm a Capitalist at heart, but milking struggling companies dry causing them to quickly collapse, is not right.

The story of Allegheny City sounds quite interesting.
The population hated the idea of a merger, but it was popular in Pittsburgh.

Don't think it was mentioned that twinkies originally had banana cream filling and switched to sugar cream

Hostess didnât introduce the Zinger, beyond creating the slightly larger Twinkie.
Zingers were created by the Dolly Madison Company; which was eventually purchased by Continental Baking Company.
Several other Hostessâ items were acquired that way, along with the current version of the Hostess Fruit Pie.
Hostess and Dolly Madison produced snd sold fruit pies. The difference in them was Hostess had a thinner crust with a bit more âfruitâ filling while Dolly Madisonâs had a thicker crust with slightly less filling, though they had a couple more types including chocolate. Hostess changed their pies to the thicker crust/less filling version, and added chocolate-filled, after buying their competitor. Thatâs also when Hostess started selling other ânewâ items like mini muffin cakes, mini carrot cakes, individual crumb-topped cakes along with others.

Weird history food could do the history of solo cups and why they are used so much . Maybe would this go on the regular channel ?

Iâve always loved the cherry and berry pies, the chocolate cakes, and the lemon cakes.
