    I don’t know Brian, with some luck you’d probably be the guy to get a half can of Spam too, I hope not. The half box/can syndrome may be near.

    Now was that box half full OR half empty. They will want to know in KC.
    BK-So if the CEO from Twinkie land says there is nothing they can do are you going to tell him to kiss ?

    I have faith in a company that’s named “Hostess”.

    She just laughed when I told her what you posted, She said you need to go fishing to get your mind off of it.

    No, no this is serious stuff. If they can cut the size of Twinkies and then FORGET to fill the box what’s next? What’s to stop them from lowering the alcohol content in beer? This is big, big stuff!

    Thanks BH…

    At least there’s one here that understands the implications of this atrocity.

    It sounds to me that Hostess is taking a revolutionary approach to weight loss. Instead of making reduced calorie Twinkees, they’re just cutting the amount in the box in half.

    Your right ol’ Hoff, never thought about that. We as human beings have to consider the implications involved, I don’t think it was an intentional mispackage,,,BUT when it comes too the inadaquacies concerning Twinkies and beer that is serious business, what are they going to do next, try to tell us a 1 pound t-bone is 1 1/2 pounds or a 1 ounce sinker really is 2 ounces. We as concerned humans have to be careful and watch everything, or the shifty little guy in the corner might try to swap things.

    THAT is the first thing I thought of!

    BK, I’ll buy you another box the next time I see you. I feel bad now seeing how much these mean to you. I have never seen such dedication to a cause. Good Luck.

    They’ve forwarded it on to a team of quality managers! They seem deeply concerned.

    WWMCD?

    Here’s my dirty little secret. I haven’t bought a Hostess product that I’m aware of for over 10 years. Might be twenty.

    I’ll feel guilty if they send me a coupon.

    Maybe Hostess is in cahoots with the Mayor of New York City? Smaller sodas, less twinkie….fits.

    well I bought a box when they first came back out.. AND NEVER AGAIN.. no, 56 years of twinkies is enough. why? because they aren’t real twinkies. the size is so small for what you get, its nuts.. so what they are selling is a box full of memories.. they can keep the memories.. because I am not giving them another penny.. you got exactly what they are selling a HALF FULL BOX OF MEMORIES..

    I’m ok with that Mr. Grub.

    I know I’ll never buy a 10 pack again and I might not ever buy a single twink again.

    They are a pleasant memories though.

    Well so much for a decent box of twinkies, maybe its too expensive to make them the way things used to be, I don’t doubt it. Who’s going to buy it when all you get to do is look at it.

    $9.00 worth of coupons came in the mail today.

    Along with a nice letter from Carlos Uncle.

    On a side note, the letter was dated Sept 5th.

    That makes it different if it came from Carlos Uncle, who is he anyway, but the coupons makes up for it, so finally not such a bad ending, my wifes now happy anyway.
