I just happened to be buying groceries this afternoon and was shocked to see people buying Twinkies by the cart load. I suggested they go to the Hostess outlet store near me and one of them said he'd already been there and their shelves were empty before noon.
I have to say, I've never seen anything like it. I figure someone will buy them and Twinkies will continue on.
ETA: This article talks about Ebay auctions for Twinkies... unreal!
