Deep-Fried Twinkies Could Hit Stores Soon …

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Hostess Brands LLC, which recently expanded its bakery lineup to include white bread, wheat bread, hot dog buns and hamburger buns, is seriously thinking about adding bagels, tortillas and English muffins, The New York Post has reported.

State-fair staple deep-fried Twinkies also could be one of the new products, in frozen form, the report said.

Kansas City, Mo.-based Hostess Brands owns the Twinkies, CupCakes, Ding Dongs, Ho Hos, Zingers, Suzy Q’s, Sno Balls, Donettes, Fruit Pie and other snack-cake brands.

Hostess Brands is selling bread and buns with shelf life of two months or longer targeted for sale in drug stores and convenience stores that have limited food selection and also are carrying the company’s Twinkies and other sweet goods.

Private-equity firms Apollo Global Management LLC and C. Dean Metropoulos & Co. bought Hostess Brands out of bankruptcy for $410 million in March 2013.

Before the bankruptcy filing, Hostess also owned the Wonder Bread and other bread brands, which it sold to Thomasville Ga.-based Flowers Foods Inc. in January 2013.

QOD

Located on the front page of our national website is a field called “Question Of The Day” (QOD). Each day we post a different question about the products and services that are presented through our website. The answer to this question can be found on one of our partner’s web pages. Our members will navigate through the preferred vendors page to find the answer to your question while subconsciously educating themselves about your company! AATAC effectively selects members who answer the question correctly to win rewards which include; rebates, complimentary services, cash, promotional offers from vendors, prizes, giveaways, etc. *Your QOD should be 1-2 sentences in length and can not name a specific product or company within the question.

Here are some examples:

Which preferred vendor offers your customers a 99% accurate drug test that reads results in five minutes?

One of our partner’s provides important compliance training classes in a virtual setting for a low cost. Who is it?

*IMPORTANT:

It is recommended that you use your main homepage or general information page for the logo redirect.

Your category will be verified for “best fit” before being placed.
