    Mastroianni and Hart. I hope there is such a thing as a humour pill, because you both need a prescription.

    Where I’m from, not many people ate Hostess. We have Tastykake, a Philadelphia delicacy which is much like Hostess, but FAR better!
    Their slogan, which is absolutely true, is “Nobody bakes a cake as tasty as a Tastykake!”
    See a Tastykake commercial, which was made by a local ad agency for them, but was never used:

    Is this the new way to carry news items?

    As a Philly suburban native who has been consuming Tastykake products since their chocolate cupcales came three in a package for a dime and a TastyPie cost 8 cents, I have to say that they have slid somewhat downhill of late. It probably started around the time they re-branded Tandy Takes as KandyKakes. Don’t get me wrong, a Kreamie still tastes just a bit better than a Devil Dog (if you can find one of either, and that was Drake’s, not Hostess), but mass marketing and competition have taken a toll.

    The local groceries didn’t waste any time filling their “hostess” spots with other brands.
    .
    re: alexikakos I thought it was funny in a sideways fashion, inferring that St. Nick’s demise from being so fat as to break his sleigh from eating too many Hostess brought lawsuits.

    i bought a tasteykake once in 1978—it had mold growing in the pkg..
    and the last time i had a Twinkie—the filling tasted like glue.

    Uh, guess who makes Drakes.
    Yup.
    Drake’s was a baking company in Wayne, NJ owned by Hostess Brands
    Tastykake is ok if you drink the Philly water; it does something to the tastebuds.

    When I have to review the comic several times, read all the comments, and then re-visit the comic to closely inspect it … all just to understand the humor .. well, it makes my ears bleed!

    Negative feedback is just as valuable as positive feedback. With a humour so peculiar, they need to be on their toes.

    Has nothing to do with the unions. That was just an excuse. That company had been mismanaged (by, uh, management) for years. Unions had made lots of concessions already, while management were still getting bonuses. The real problem is, the heads of the company did not adapt to changing market conditions.

    Wow! Hostess has been around a lot longer than I thought.

    Interesting that if you are Republican, it is the unions fault, if you are Democrat is is always management’s fault. As in most cases, there is plenty of blame to go both ways.
