: : : They're back.

: : : A year after Hostess filed for bankruptcy in the wake of ugly
: : : in-fighting, those little tubular sponge cakes with creamy filling that
: : : you and the bulk of nuclear survivalists love are back, expected to hit

: : : make you any leaner yourself.*
: : : *Okay, well they didn't actually say that last part.**
: : : **But that doesn't mean it isn't true!

: : : Move aside, 2004 Red Sox, because the new boxes of Twinkies will bear
: : : the totally true tag-line, "The Sweetest Comeback in the History of
: : : Ever." A box of 10 Twinkies will still only set you back $3.99, and the
: : : company says different styles of Twinkie, like flavored cakes and
: : : crunchy-textured cakes, could be in the works. Plus, we might not be far
: : : from Twinkies that are gluten-free, come with added fiber, or have low
: : : sugar/sodium, for the all those Twinkie-loving health nuts out there.
: : : Also, the company that now owns Hostess also owns Chef Boyardee and PBR
: : : (among others), so start sending your fan-mail begging for hybrids like

: : : will be more desperate to eat them right away, so you should probably go
: : : ahead and call in sick for July 15th right now.
