As I heard yesterday that  Hostess declared bankruptcy to reorganize in an effort to maintain their same ‘quality’ of products among continual product cost increases,  I thought back to growing up and seeing that little yellow cake in my lunchbox. My mom had the best of intentions when she slipped it into my lunchbox, and I devoured it happily like every other kid I knew. That slightly off-yellow colored sponge cake with the gooey creme filling left me with a sugar buzz and a rumbly tummy, but my how I loved it!  Now, you couldn’t pay me to eat it (not only due to the allergies, but just based on sheer common sense from a nutrition standpoint) and knowing what I know now, I certainly wouldn’t feed it to my son (sorry mom!).
