Now people are getting crazy, selling boxes of Twinkies on eBay! There's even one Twinkie, listed for 30 days, with a Buy It Now price of $100. Seriously?

Ok, you can do that. Buy your $100 Twinkie.

Or...

Buy a comic book and get one Twinkie on Empire's Comics Vault

That offer is available while supplies last. We don't ship Twinkies, so this offer is only available for purchases made in the shop.

It's a great time to be a Twinkie-loving comic book enthusiast!

Eat Your First Or Last Hostess Twinkie at Empire's Comics Vault

/
When we hear the sad, sad news -- Hostess is going out of business and there will be no more Twinkies in the world. -- Ben ran out and bought up all the boxes of Twinkies off the shelves of our local Smart & Final. What a Twinkie-loving man!

Other customers watching him greedily grab up all the Twinkies made comments, like,
"Hedging your bets?" and "I guess you want to make sure you don't run out of Twinkies!"

Embarrassed, he offered the line, "We're throwing a party!" And, we kind of, sort of, are!

So, to mourn the loss of the Twinkie, while supplies last...
