Interesting note on Hostess Brands
When I heard about Hostess disappearing, I ran out and bought a box of Drakes Funny Bones, and tried to find (in vain) one small 2-cake package of pink SnoBalls. Those were the only Hostess Brand items I cared about that might be disappearing, and since I only ever bought FBs about once a year, and ate SnoBalls about once a decade, figured I'd stock up before potentially losing them forever. However, I just peeked at the Hostess Brands wiki page, and saw this list of brands they own that are all up for sale. So many breads I buy occasionally, like Beefsteak, J.J.Nissen, Nature's Pride, etc. I just thought that Hostess owned Wonder Bread and sugary snacks. Man, was I wrong! This is from the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostess_Brands.
