"COLLECTIBLE TWINKIE"

11/20/12 The News-Dispatch & 11/19/12 The Herald-Argus

Now that the Hostess brand of snack foods is being liquidated and the company itself going under, some people are actually selling Twinkies on eBay for as much as $600 or keeping them and other Hostess products as collectible memorabilia.
If you've ever seen the show "Pawn Stars" on The History Channel, people come in off the streets with all kinds of stuff to either sell or pawn.  I've observed that the Pawn Stars store tends to offer 40-50% of an item's estimated value if there's a market for it. So...I'd estimate Chumlee (the show's comic relief) would get $250 to $300 for that Twinkie.
