I was happy to see Suzy Qs back on the self, after it's long absence. However much to me surprise upon picking it up to find only one item in the packaging. Not only that it was about half the size of the original, with only 1/2 the filling, at $1.68 in cost. Not worth the cost. Sorrowful to say the delightful treat that I delighted in is now apart of the "gone but not forgotten."

What?!
Either somebody at Hostess doesn't know how to count or somebody in my house is stealing my food. Back in January, I noticed that a box of your cupcakes was missing 2 cupcakes. Now fast forward to this week,( in October)I notice that my box of Ding Dongs has 8 cakes instead of 10- like the box says it's supposed to have. And of course, the Twinkies haven't tasted good since Die Hard! Plus, I can't find the VANILLA ZINGERS anymore👿

I bought Hostess Donettes Powdered mini donuts. I bought them on Monday August 25, 2025 and the expiration date says August 30, 2025. There was green mold growing on several of the donuts. I'll have to really think twice before buying anything from Hostess in the future.

Hostess is cheap
Crappy excuse for what Hostess used to be. O be. The chocolate cake is the circumference of a quarter now! But still the same price.

Ding Dongs foul taste
Used to love these. Now they are hit and miss in terms of tasting ok vs having a weird plastic spoiled taste. They no longer have best buy dates, so it is hard to follow that as well. I have 2 packages bought recently., One tastes fine, the other tastes foul. This is true for boxes of these as well as 2 packs. Never buying these again.

I use to love Hostess products
I use to love Hostess products. Now they have gotten so much smaller than they use to be. Also the ding dongs use to have more chocolate on them. Last box I just got there was no chocolate on the bottom. It is sad that things are getting more expensive and the quality of things just keep going down.

I used to be an avid consumer of Hostess Cherry Fruit Pies. Hadn’t had them for awhile and started purchasing again. The first on I had bought a few weeks ago and when I bought into it, the taste and texture were horrible, chewy and dry. Thinking I got an out of date one I could not find any date code. I figured I just got a bad one. Bought another this week and the same thing… I never knew them to be chewy and this one also was! Extremely disappointed in the quality, obviously the first one was not an exception!I hope you all go back to the original recipe as I will not try another fruit pie

BEST THING EVER
II enjoy trying new items. I saw that Hostess had a new item for me to try. It is called Kazbars! they are the BEST snack I have every had. they come in double chocolate and caramel. My favorite is caramel but they are both good. It is worth sharing. they come in a box of 8 mini bars and so worth it.

I really love Raspberry Zingers
I really love Raspberry Zingers. I buy individual ones usually but found a box of 10 at the market so thought I could dole out one at a time instead of gobbling two all at once. BUT these singles are SO dry with very little Raspberry flavor. Yuck. Won't buy the 10 pack again

Gasoline Twinkies
Wife bought me a box of Twinkies as a rare treat (I'm an american living in the UK) since i grew up eating these as a kid in the 1970's. I ate one and it tasted weird, but i couldn't imagine it was the twinkie...i thought maybe it was my tastebuds since i had just had dinner. Opened another one, figuring it was gonna be ok. Same deal, absolutely toxic-tasting. Not my tastebuds, it was definitely the Twinkie. It basically tastes and smells (strongly) of gasoline. 45 minutes later my tongue still has a spot on it that feels like some chemical substance has coated it and won't go away. It's a bit scary as I did eat 1.5 of these (the first one, i wasn't paying much attention, the bite of the second one i was assuming it would be ok, but wasn't). I can honestly say that i'd never (ever) take a chance eating a Hostess product again after this experience. It wasn't a "slight" odour or taste, it was a powerful odour and powerful taste of gasoline/paint thinner. Absolutely disgusting and i am saving the remainder of the unopened Twinkies in the box just in case i become sick or hospitalized in the next 48 hours. I am actually concerned for my health after eating this product.
MEGATRONIC SOUNDWAVE *MONSTER*

My boyfriend purchased a pack of Rasperry zingers today at our local convenience store in Tumalo, OR. After eating almost them all he notices a large black fuzzy spot in the end of one. Sure enough it was black mold. Contacted Hostess customer service and left a message. Must mention the date was smeared and not legible. I do not think it was Tumalo Stores wrong doing, the blame is placed on Hostess.**update**Hostess called us back and offered us coupons for their products. Yuck!! No thank you....
