As long as the recipe and the artwork are preserved in about two decades you gonna have your Twinkies again.
Because what is to remain of cooperate culture in the open source (or post-copyright) society are exactly that. Innovative products which are just the way they are.

I'm serious.

This is only in the USA.

Canada will be unaffected. We will continue to have our snack cakes Smiley


All the hostess cakes in Canada are made by Saputo Inc.
