Hostess Brands Hohos Review from Montebello, California
I bought a pack of Hostess Ho Ho's. On January 1, 2016.
They smelled like acetone, or acrylic. Has strong chemical smell. I took a *** and gagged. It tasted like chemicals.
This needs to be resolved. I am now turned off of hostess, and will never eat again

Verified Reviewer | Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaHostess Brands - Bread Review from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Bought a loaf of white bread from Speedway. The sell buy date was January.
Later that day opened the bag and was overcome by an awful smell. I can't describe the smell . It was so bad I couldn't stomach it.
I will never purchase this product ever again. No offense Hostess!
Reduced size of SnoBalls
I recently purchased two packages of Hostess SnoBalls, (2 to a pack). Guess what?
You have shrunken the size. Now really? Did you need to do that? Are you saving a huge sum of money by reducing the size of the product?
It is insulting to the consumer. This speaks volumes about your company's ethics. Looking at the product now, I realize the integrity of your product's name does not support the integrity of what you are producing. A small difference, most consumers would not recognize, but the "new" version is so much smaller, it stands out immediately.
It is incredible that you would feel the need to do that. It is not that the consumer cares that much about less content in the SnoBall, it is that you would have the marketing lack of insight to do it. It cannot be very many more ounces per batch, to retain your former brand recognition and reliability. The item is C 11192**** - *23 C1:09 - 8, best by Jan 23, 2016 Purchased at Fred Meyers, Inc.

I am sure you know exactly what I am talking about.
Hostess Donettes Powdered Mini Donuts Review
Hostess Brands - Cupcake Review from Coxsackie, New York
Paint Thinner donuts
I just opened a package I bought from the vending machine here at our office, lot #5C091523****580055 and they tasted like paint thinner. I googled it and can not believe all the reports out there.
I also found a number that consumers can call to complain to Hostess 1-80*-777-****. Now if they do anything about the complaints; we will see.
As far as this package, I am very tempted to contact a tv station here in town since they are headquartered here in Kansas City and send the package to them. I will say this will be my last package of donuts ever bought from them after reading all the complaints out there.
- Paint thinner taste
Preferred solution: Full refund
Zingers are now Zungers!
11.25.2015
Last week brought a box of zingers w/ Dec 24 expiration date. The icing was rock hard. Blah.
Thinking just got a bad box, today brought another box with same expiration date. Again, rock hard icing. Double blah.
The chocolate cupcakes never tasted right after the "come back." And now zingers. 75% done with Hostess.

Hostess Brands Cake Review
Mold on Hostess Chocolate Donettes
Bought a bag of Hostess Chocolate Donettes on Saturday October 17, 2015, from a local Dollar General. After taking them home, I opened the bag, and there was a fermented smell.
A closer look revealed what looked like cob webs on my snacks. It is mold! The bag had an expiration date of 10-15-2015. I understand I bought a bag of expired Donettes.
However, I would expect the product to last a couple of days beyond the expectancy. I never expected to find mold in a Hostess product. The Hostess vendor should have pulled these before they ever sold.
Having ate a couple of them, I had severe cramps with wet stool. Mold is dangerous!

What have you done?
I have purchase Twinkies for over 30 years. I'm done.
They are tough and chewy and the filling is runny. YUCK!!! They are nothing like I am used to. Overall they are huge disappointment.
The filling used to be fluffy - not any more. The cake - I don't know but they are so tough and chewy they are hard to even finish. I dunked them in coffee and that seems to help. Why would you change something that was perfect?
Makes no sense to me and I wish you would go make to the old recipe. I will not buying them again.
