Behold! The Resurrection of Twinkie the Kid to Occur This Summer

Last November we had the unfortunate task to tell you about the demise of Hostess and more specifically, it's handkerchief-draped spokesperson, Twinkie the Kid, who was found by a cleaning lady at his hotel, hanging by his lasso from a bathroom fixture, his pants around his boots and a sly grin left on his face. But good news fatties, it seems the pastries (most likely made from a combination of starch, recycled newspapers and creamed asbestos) will be back on the shelves as early as this summer after a successful $410 million bid to buy the beleagured company has been okayed.

There have been no new produced Twinkies or other Hostess desserts made since November--which shouldn't matter as it seems like most of their products I used to buy had been sitting on the shelves for at least a year or two prior. But with the purchase, the new owners (who also own PBR beer for all you hipsters out there) are likely to start churning out and getting those deadly chemicals in their products into your veins and arteries ASAP. The Twinkie is back folks! I don't know about you but I'm going to celebrate by binge-eating myself into a diabetic sugar coma.
