Why did I just buy 100 boxes of Twinkies today for $2.50each and already sold them in 20 minutes for $17 a box? Aahhh.

I hate shipping out items... :'( This is going to be a really annoying day tomorrow. I hate Twinkies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not even worth the return on investment. Maybe if I bought a few truckloads. Waaaaaaaaaaaa. I feel stupid now.

    lollllllllllll 0_o I ended up selling some more for $30-$33 a box I bought for $2.50. I feel stupid. In total, I made a little over $3,000 in profits after all costs including shipping/fees/tax. I can't believe I missed the Hostess closeout. haha. I've been waiting almost a year for it and was going to buyout truckloads for a final Ultimate Hostess Party. lolll. I would have most likely ended up selling them also though once I realized the demand. ^_^ Total loss for today: A Junk-Food Dream. :'(

    Another food company such as ConAgra, Mondelez, Kraft, General Mills, HSH, etc. will very soon purchase the Twinkie brand and continue to make them, therefore the people paying up will probably regret the panic buying. Even tho we are a more health conscious country, Americans will still crave their childhood treats...

    Maybe people are buying them to give as presents for Christmas, Hanukkah, or something for the holidays. Or maybe they're just trying to make their friends jealous as they eat the last Twinkies. haha.

    A Twinkie is a golden cake type thing with creme in the center. The company that makes those and other snack cakes (and bread) is going out of business here in the USA. If people are seriously paying $17 for a box of them, they are out of their minds lol

    It's a Hostess food... I'm not sure if it can even be considered a food. It's so disgusting. People in the USA like them because there's a lot of obese people here that love eating things that make them really fat. Hostess announced yesterday that they're closing down and going out of business so people are paying a premium to eat an unhealthy food that's been around for about 83 years... Maybe this will be their last chance to get fat off of something that tastes like a big blob of creamy chemicals.

    lolll. Nothing to be congratulated about. I would have been happy if I anticipated this unrealistic demand yesterday and bought a couple thousand boxes at least. 100 boxes barely are worth the, "eehhh." 0_o
