Spider-Man's Twinkies

If you're like me, you can't wait for Hostess products to reappear in the supermarkets.  Advertisements like this in old issues of Marvel Comics only make the waiting worse.

Hostess' absence from the marketplace has allowed competitors to fill the shelves with their own knock-off versions.  Suddenly, everyone's got their own version of Hostess' classics like their cupcakes and twinkies.  But no one's marketed a knock-off on my personal favorite snack cakes: Zingers.  So I look forward to late July, when according to executive vice-president Michael Cramer, all the classic snack brands will start reappearing.  "Everything will be as delicious and fattening as it always was," he promises.

Thanks, Mike, I'll be holding you to your promises.  'Cause I need Zingers to fuel all my pursuits, just like Spider-Man needs his Twinkies to fight crime in New York City.
