I will not purchase and of your products froms thi point forward. I just wanted you to lnow and understand, that so customers can't be fooled.
Thank you

This email is in reference to the purchase I made of the products mentioned above, my complaint is that the ding dongs had no filling at all I paid $11.99 for them and the coffee cake's had 3 missing out the box which I paid the same price for I always buy these products monthly and this has never happened I did call tops market and was told to summit a complaint on line being that I misplaced my receipt I would appreciate if this matter can be brought to the attention with the distribution manager. I thank you for your time Ms.Michele Rose [protected]. 135 Kay Street Buffalo NY 14215.

My family went and bought a box of zingers, raspberry iced cake with creamy filling yesterday at brookshire brothers in lufkin texas. Andwell we were going to eat them today Sept 4, 2017 and when we opened the box there were some bags sealed and no zinger in it. we were very upset this was the first time it has happened to us an we love them. Some of us weren't able to eat one because there wasn't enough.

The picture shows quite a bit of peanut butter I have a picture that shows there's nothing in the middle but a smidgen of peanut butter it is total crap. Also Twinkies used to be twice the size that they are today.
Why is it that they can make a picture on a box show that it has plenty of peanut butter in it and then clearly by the picture I've shared it has hardly any peanut butter in it.
Hostess Brands needs to step it up

Bought a bag crunch Donuts today only 10 in the bag you can buy the single packs with 6 in it $ $1 the bag $2 only had 10 in it I would be better off buying two of the single packs also bought a bag of powdered Donuts 15 in the bag but only 10 in the crunch same price but you can buy the dollar packs with 6 in it so I was just wondering if Hostess is ripping people off because I think there should be more in 10 in a bag powdered donuts chocolate donuts in Berry Donuts I'll have more than 10 so why not the crunch

I brought a chocolate cupcake from my job and the cupcakes tasted stale even though it had not expired. The top of the cake did not taste the same as what it used to taste like. The topping was ALWAYS soft and enjoyable. I don't know what happen, but the top of the cupcake was hard and the cupcake was dry even with the filling. I was very disappointed because I was looking forward to eating it after not eating one in a while.

I purchased a box of these for my daughter about a week ago, because they were on sale. Upon my daughter eating a bag of 4 of the mini muffins, she complained about something being "hard" in the muffin, so I had her spit it out in my hand, in my hand was a chewed up muffin along with a hard piece of something that resembled a piece of cardboard. I proceeded to to that package away. The next day or so, my husband was eating a pack of the muffins, he had the same exact hard thing in his muffins. This was extremely disappointing and disgusting because we have no idea what this object in these muffins were.

I bought a 3pk of Hostess Zingers Vanilla from Walgreens at 1627 N. Pulaski Rd. Chicago, IL 60639. Receipt info as follows: [protected]/23/2017 11:16am. I just opened them to see that the frosting is no longer soft, but hard and dry at the end of the zingers. The paper that supports the zinger in package looks as if it is dirty or it may just be greasy. These zingers shouldn't look like this especially with a best by date of: Sept. 16, 2017. Here is the information from the actual package: Best by: SEP 16 2017. E [protected]:48 L

My daughter bought a single Lemon Pie, my favorite, from a convenient store to give to me.
This was Thursday August 17, 2017. I opened it Friday A. M. to eat. When I opened it there was no smell of the pie. I took a bite and the inside was a dry paste. It wasn't the silky lemon filling that usually is found in a pie. The taste was disappointing. There is no Good By Date on the box anywhere. The only # is D09168200260.. Do not know what this means.
I would like to have a lemon pie what is good. This was very disappointing.

I bought a box of zingers from the Wal-Mart in Millington, TN August 2017. I had to throw out the entire box because some of the individual packages were not sealed and they were dried out. I attempted to eat one in which the packaging appeared to be sealed, but it was also dry. I love these cakes but i don't think i'll be buying them again. The number on the box is
E [protected]:38.

Purchased a pack of the Devil's Food Zingers (product Bar Code [protected]) from Market Basket on 2017-AUG-15, package was sealed, with expiration date of 2017-AUG-28. Product was laced with white mold across the bottom, in such a manner as it was nearly impossible to tell it would be damaged before purchase.

Address of this particular MB Store:
352 West Center St

I purchased a box of Hostess cupakes, frosted orange flavor, today [protected] from Fred Meyer. When I opened it, there were only 7 cupcakes instead of 8. Bar code is [protected] 9, paid 2.99. Code on front of box is E:[protected] 186 07:21 L31. Dated best by Sep 08 2017. Please send me a coupon for another box of Hostess cupcakes, or refund the purchase price. Thank you for your time and attention.

I love these mini donuts! Buy them all the time for me and my grandchildren (if any left😉)
On several occasions when in store usually kroger...I cannot pick out a package that all donuts are stuck together! Yes I buy anyway, come home and put in fridge..
I've decided to contact you. I'm dieting so I can eat 1 mini donut and keeps my cravings down. Please send me some that are not stuck together!

I picked up a box today cause I had my nefew and as I was breaking it apart to feed him there was something hard in the middle. As I pulled it out it loomed like a peanut but was so hard biting down on it as hard as I could and I could not even break it in half. I have the item if you would like a picture. I am very disappointed as I was feeding it to my 1year old nefew and if I had not found it he could have choked on it.

I bought a box of Peanut Butter Chocolate Twinkies at Walmart last night. The picture on the box shows a filled Twinkie with peanut butter. What did I get?... A Twinkie with one dab of peanut butter, the peanut butter didnt even go thru the entire Twinkie. What a total rip off! Very disappointed as Ive always loved the regular Twinkies throughout the years. Give it up with these Twinkies, a refund would be nice.

I was shopping at Walmart and I came across your product and I thought I would be great to try but I guess I was wrong because I ate 2 of your twinkies and there was not peanut butter in any of them I am highly disappointed in the product and this would be the first time this has happened this is an absolute disgrace and you can't make something right don't make it at all

I bought a box of the chocolate Twinkies and actually they were pretty good although there was hardly any cream filling inside. It was nothing compared to the picture on the box. You might want to consider putting in more filling to make them not so dry. Right now i would give it a 3 with more filling it would be a 10. I might try again in the far future!
