Bite before I even opened.

Hostess Brands - Bite before I even opened.
Just opened my Valentine Ding *** and this is what came in my pkg. Not pissed but concered. Why would an employee at Hostess do this. This is not funny! Not even sure if the entire pkg is edible.

Hostess cupcakes what the heck!!

Hostess Brands - Hostess cupcakes what the heck!!
I have been buying Hostess products for over 30 yrs and after it was bought buy another company and put back on the market the products have been absolutely horrible! I've read where they claim it's the original recipe. There is no way!! The cakes are dry as ***, the frosting is hard and taste awful! Not to mention everything is smaller. Go figure! Either fix how you're making them, and if indeed it is the exact recipe then hire people that can read and follow directions!

Hostess ho ho's

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

What the heck! I just bought a box of ho ho's and I was just appalled at how small they are.

I can remember they used to be at least twice the size they are now. I can now understand why everyone is so upset and disgusted with the Hostess brand. When you closed your factory you should have kept it closed!!!!!

A lot of companies are making their product smaller and charging more for less, it seems that a great product no longer matters today but making the all mighty buck is the priority. Shame on the big corporations that continually make smaller and less appealing products, but want to charge the consumer more money for less!!!

I just bought a box of ho ho's and they taste nothing like the original from my youth. They taste very generic and the size is laughable.

It is one to two bites.

Then the price 5.99 for a box of mini ho ho's that taste like something from the dollar store. Hostess, shame on you!

Guest

the hoho has taken a huge nosedive- terrible tasting, dry, terrible chocolate taste. A very sad day for the hoho lovers throughout Unites States of America. Sad but true the Mexican brand Bimbo tastes better........................so sad.

Save the company

Hostess may have come back but not the product quality. Nothing is the same and frankly it's all disgusting.

This company will most likely go out of business and will not be missed. In order for hostess to be #1 again you will need to bring back all products original recipes and sizes. It may cost more but the customers will pay for it because it will be the original.

The hostess name has been around for a long time and used to be #1, the company still has a chance to make that happen again. I've called and emailed the company on several occasions but nothing changed.

Hostess has never been a "number one" anything as far as I know ; it's always been a lot of fattening, useless calories and carbohydrates surrounded by cardboard and plastic wrap. But you are correct - I understand they're even worse now - I get a feeling of nausea simply contemplating it.

Mold in ALL of the Hostess chocolate pies I bought today!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I called on Thursday after I ate mold in my chocolate pie... I told hostess where I bought it...

They never called the place! I am allergic to pennacillin, I've been throwing up and almost past out while driving!!!! I went and bought all the stores pies since hostess didn't care enough to call and alert the store, EVERY PIE HAD MOLD INSIDE!!! I went to random stores and I have not found ONE CHOCOLATE PIE WITHOUT MOLD!!!

I'm terrified a child with penicillin allergy will eat these and die or pass out and hit their head or something!!!

Hostess is closed for the weekend so I think I should call the health department and tell the news to put out a health alert!!! NEVER EATING HOSTESS AGAIN!!!!!

Dissapointed, sad, unhappy, confused.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
What happened is that for some weird reason Hostess has destroyed a what used to be a Great chocolate cake! I have noticed in the past 2 years how the Ding *** have gone to *** in a hand basket! They use to be slightly larger and perfect formation. They were fresher tasting. Biting into it was so heavenly and wonderful? SO, what happened? Now it’s just a little *** cake that’s way to expensive to look forward to a snack. Why not bring back the old recipe? If not, then I’ll replace it with something else.

Hostess Brand Products

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I used to be a big fan of Hostess products. Hostess products are now terrible. I will no longer buy your products. It doesn't matter what (Cupcakes, Donettes , HoHos, DingDongs, Zingers, etc.), when, or where you purchase your products, they just have no flavor and are totally stale. They used to taste decent but now your filling separates and the cakes are dry, crumbly, and totally gross. Gores Holdings is going to destroy this brand either deliberately or unintentionally only because they don't know their products and market. You may as well just stop selling/making Hostess products completely because the brand is already ruined. So I ask you: why do you allow this? Quality is completely down the tubes since you guys acquired this brand.

Mini Muffins and other Hostess Snacks

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I’m so disappointed in the size and taste of the mini muffins (Ding *** cupcakes, etc) It’s absolutely not the same quality of products that it used to be.

Mini Muffins & Other Snacks Aren't The Same

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Hostess has changed the recipes of their snacks, and reduced their size. The mini muffins now taste fake, and too sweet. They are supposed to be "healthier", but the unique flavor has been ruined. I've seen tons of complaints online, so I wanted to speak out too. I am SO disappointed, and I will not be purchasing their products anymore. Time to find a new, delicious replacement :'(

Twinkie’s ugh

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I had been craving twinkies and decided to go out and buy a couple of boxes. I should have saved my money. Twinkies use to be soft and spongy. They are now dry and rubbery. Yes, they are far away from the expiration date. I use to love twinkies. I am now afraid to even try the other products. Whatever you did ruined them. Sign me, Disappointed {{Redacted}}
