NEW YORK (Reuters) -Hostess Brands Inc, the maker of Twinkies snack cakes, is exploring a sale after fielding takeover interest from major snack food makers, people familiar with the matter said on Friday

Is there no love for their snacks anymore?   I buy Hostess stuff maybe once a year, but probably more like every 2-5 years.  Never had a Twinkie, don't want to preserve myself till 2399!!!

Can't even remember the last time I thought the word "twinkie".  They were good tho!

I like twinkies, they taste good and don’t require as much milk as chocolate cupcakes.

Marketing is different and they haven't adjusted for the times. 

My kid knows more about a "sports" drink pushed by a YouTube douche than what a Twinkie is.

I hate Twinkies … but I hear the word almost daily. We also don’t have them in the house.

It is interestingly funny that you put these and in this order.

Most everyone else's order is the same, but they are 2-4 with '1' being something along the lines of 'Willie bought a stake in Hostess so he could get free Twinkies.'

I feared it was a topic using the word "Twinkies" as a slur.  I was trying to place Twinkies in the constellation of normal words used as an insider insult which I do not know including Duece and 30 percenter.  

The fact that it is about actual Twinkies which I have eaten many times and never remember enjoying - even as a kid - is refreshing.
