Products getting smaller and smaller!

I have purchased hostess products over my 58 years of being on this earth. But this is an ongoing problem with hostess and all products! If you have to raise prices due to the Biden economy do it! Let us consumers decide wether to buy your products! Feel totally ripped off by looking at the size of what use to be a real portion!

Plastic in loaf of bread

Included in my loaf of Beefsteak no seeds Rye bread was a full silver oval shape piece of hard plastic. It appears to have been one oval piece that has been broken into two 1/2x1/2 pieces. The loaf has a large #25 and a 190********

Terrible

I bought Twinkees and was shocked to see how little cream was used. It was more sponge cake than anything. Very disappointed

Looking for donuts

I want strawberry cheesecake donuts are they coming back out soon. I heard they was a limited edition donut out for a short time, I love them and would love to have them daily, can you please let me know if that is a possibility. Please let me know as soon as possible I miss these donuts something awful.

WTF????

Quality and the Hostess name.. The Hostess name used to represent quality, freshness and taste. No more! Try eating one of their chocolate doughnuts... might as well stick a wick in it and sell it as a candle! No taste, no flavor, just wax, totally sucks!!! When Hostess was in trouble, they should have just folded up shop, because the new owners have no Idea what quality means. Greedy bastards!!@

No cream in HoHos

I purchased a single package of HoHos, three in one package. The first was fine, but the last two cakes had minimal cream filling. It appeared there was cream, but after a bite, the cakes were hollow. In addition, the prices have significantly increased and the size portions have decreased in size.

My child got sick

I purchased a bag of the powdered donuts, and gave them to my mother and my son. The donuts made both of them sick almost immediately after eating them. They had a taste of medicine in them, we checked and they was six months out of date. Yes I got a refund from the store but that does not compensate for my child and my mother getting sick. I love hostess products so does my family but whoever was responsible for leaving those donuts on the shelf could have very well killed someone. I am very disappointed with this situation.

Valentine DingDongs

Unbelievable!! All of your products have gone downhill. I buy 1-2 packages EVERY single week. No more! When my husband opened up the box and showed me these heart shaped cakes, why bother??? They may as well be an M&M!? Only 8 in a box?? These are so small you got plenty of room to add 4 more and at least make it a dozenconsidering what prices are. Just lost a life long customer.

Stale product

I no longer see sell by date on boxed zingers. I have had 3 kinds of zingers from two different stores that were stale, hard, or unwrapped inside the box. With the cost of your product I can no longer support buying the product in the future just to throw it away. I miss them as a breakfast snack and will have to find another product brand to buy instead.

Bad product

The cake has a hard smell of paint thinner and made me very ill upon consumption. My wife also had an issue but was smart enough to spit it out

An odd chemical taste in a snack

I bit into the Ding *** and noticed a strange, unpleasant taste. I thought it might be a little stale, so I swallowed it. I was going to finish it, but when I took another bite, there was an even more noticeable horrible, horrible chemical taste in the Ding *** !! I had to spit it out and discard the rest. I ran into the lavatory to rinse my mouth with water to rid myself of the horrible taste.

1/5

Hardly any filling in cup cakes and twinkies

For decades and decades cup cakes had lots of filling so did twinkies, when a company gets bought out dont mess with the products, all the sudden the cup cakes are smaller, hardly any filling, the chocolate top not the same, all hostess product now SUCK, should have left the products alone, that is why you bought the company in the first place.

Purchased some chocolate doughnuts and they tasted like poison

These chocolate doughnuts taste like perfume or some kind of chemicals are on them. They need to be recalled or discontinued before someone gets really sick or they could die.
