Twinkies: The Breakfast of Champion Programmers Still Hard To Get

Posted by samzenpus on from the tell-him-about-the-twinkie dept.

An anonymous reader writes "When Hostess, baker of Twinkies, filed for bankruptcy and ceased operations in November, Twinkies were no more. Then, a private equity firm bought the business for $410 million and planned to resume production in 'The Sweetest Comeback in the History of Ever.' Now, an article in the Pittsburg Post-Gazette reports that they're still hard to get, since an unprecedented demand has caused orders to exceed production capacity 'by a significant amount.'"

    In any case, what exactly is a twinkie? And are they designed for oral ingestion or for insertion via another orifice?
