Then, last week, while doing some grocery shopping, I saw this...
Not just Hostess, but Hostess Cupcakes all dressed up in their vintage best! They called to me, and of course, I couldn't resist. I took them home and promptly devoured most of the box... I have no restraint, it's Hostess for cryin' outloud! I blame my 12 year, Texas imposed, Hostess abstinence.
I love the retro design... love. it.
And yes, I know I'm gushing over pre-packaged, preservative filled, baked goods, but I can't help myself. Hostess is my kryptonite! Would you believe they also had Banana Twinkie's in the vintage box? I don't have that one anymore, I ate them all (not by myself and not all at once) and tossed the box... I think. After eating them, I'm convinced that all Twinkie's are banana flavored, or that the box lied.
Okay, I know, enough gushing about cupcakes... but they're amazing! Over time, I've learned to enjoy Mrs. Baird's, I had to, it's all we have (unless Little Debbie counts?), but nothing quite compares to Hostess for this California girl. Although, I feel like I should say, Mrs. Baird's has amazing cinnamon rolls. Amazing. Yeah, I hope the Wal-Mart keeps carrying them. I'll definitely keep buying them, even if they are $2.50 a box.
On a final note, don't judge me... I could be bitching about the snow and being cold again!
Also, yes, I am picture taking crazy. Yes, I will take any opportunity to take pictures of random shit. Yes, I will be sharing them with you. That is all.
