Dallas Foodie has a Twinkie for You

Right now and forever, almost all DFW-area Walmarts, Fiestas, Targets, and gas stations have Hostess snack cake shelves that look like this:


Empty! This is because Hostess stopped production and closed for business today, so the most popular Hostess snacks flew off the shelves. In my 7-stop search for my childhood favorite Ho-Hos, all I found were a few Zingers, a few Cupcakes, lots of donuts, and two Twinkies. No Ho-Hos. I bought both Twinkies and am holding them hostage for two lucky readers. Here is how you can get your mouth on one of these American icons…


1. Want a Twinkie? Have a Ho-Ho? I want to trade with you! 

Email me Dallas_Foodie@DGdesign.biz.

2. Want a Twinkie, but don't have a Ho-Ho? Talk to me!

What would you like to see me post about more often? I'll pick my favorite idea to win a Twinkie pack. For your idea to count, simply follow these instructions on your favorite social network:
  • Facebook, Instagram, Foursquare, Foodspotting, Tumblr, or Flickr: find my Twinkie photo (as seen above) and write your idea as a comment on that photo.
  • Twitter: include "@Dallas_Foodie #HasaTwinkieContest" in your Tweet.
  • This Blog: comment below.

This contest ends at 7:00pm CST, Mon. Nov. 19, 2012. I will pick a winner who lives near Dallas, is available for me to contact through the social medium they entered through, writes me back via email within 24 hours, and can meet me at a mutually agreeable time and place. If a potential winner fails to meet all of these criteria, an alternate winner will be sought.
