As you may recall, last November the nation was shocked when Hostess announced it would be closing the doors of all 36 of its factories after labor disputes. 

The Twinkie snack cake, the iconic cream-filled vanilla pastry, had been the lunchtime sugar-buzz treat of children in America for generations.

But when people heard that the Twinkie was being cast into the junk-food junkyard, they went into a Twinkie frenzy. 

Hysteria around the snack cake mounted. Fears of shortage had people rushing to their local grocery stores and buying hundreds at a time. People, hoping to make a quick buck, started listing the tasty treats on eBay for thousands of dollars.

It seemed that to many in America, the loss of Hostess’ golden processed package of joy was a national tragedy, akin to if Ford Motors or Levi’s Clothing had gone bankrupt. It was a marker of America’s decline.

But now fake-cream connoisseurs everywhere can rejoice.

In a surprising twist, Hostess Brands LLC will be reopening their Kansas factory and resuming production of the Twinkie, expected to appear back on shelves by July.

No doubt, the valiant return of the Twinkie means snack time America is Back! (play patriotic music)

With business prospects rising and hope in the economy being slowly–but surely–restored, the pre-recession America that we all know and love, just might be on its way back. After all, what could be more American than bread, butter, and mountains of sugar?
