Hostess

Too bad you can’t give zero stars! Recently purchased some of their cupcakes (10/26) only to find the filling was missing. When I tried talking to customer service of course they go through their list of info needs so they can figure out why it’s missing. Why is it these companies expect the customer to solve their problem. They know where you’re calling from the locals stores and when these stores received the last hostess shipment! The customer always pays the price for greed and poor quality!

I was happy to see Suzy Qs back on the self, after it's long absence. However much to me surprise upon picking it up to find only one item in the packaging. Not only that it was about half the size of the original, with only 1/2 the filling, at $1.68 in cost. Not worth the cost. Sorrowful to say the delightful treat that I delighted in is now apart of the "gone but not forgotten."

What?!

Either somebody at Hostess doesn't know how to count or somebody in my house is stealing my food. Back in January, I noticed that a box of your cupcakes was missing 2 cupcakes. Now fast forward to this week,( in October)I notice that my box of Ding Dongs has 8 cakes instead of 10- like the box says it's supposed to have. And of course, the Twinkies haven't tasted good since Die Hard! Plus, I can't find the VANILLA ZINGERS anymore👿

I bought Hostess Donettes Powdered mini donuts. I bought them on Monday August 25, 2025 and the expiration date says August 30, 2025. There was green mold growing on several of the donuts. I'll have to really think twice before buying anything from Hostess in the future.

Hostess is cheap

Crappy excuse for what Hostess used to be. O be. The chocolate cake is the circumference of a quarter now! But still the same price.

Ding Dongs foul taste

Used to love these. Now they are hit and miss in terms of tasting ok vs having a weird plastic spoiled taste. They no longer have best buy dates, so it is hard to follow that as well. I have 2 packages bought recently., One tastes fine, the other tastes foul. This is true for boxes of these as well as 2 packs. Never buying these again.

I’m sorry Hostess but your treats are not good anymore.
I had a few snacks I used to enjoy that were fresh and tasty. Unfortunately not the case anymore go back to your old recipes before no one wants them anymore.
Disappointed in Texas!

I used to be an avid consumer of Hostess Cherry Fruit Pies. Hadn’t had them for awhile and started purchasing again. The first on I had bought a few weeks ago and when I bought into it, the taste and texture were horrible, chewy and dry. Thinking I got an out of date one I could not find any date code. I figured I just got a bad one. Bought another this week and the same thing… I never knew them to be chewy and this one also was! Extremely disappointed in the quality, obviously the first one was not an exception!
I hope you all go back to the original recipe as I will not try another fruit pie

BEST THING EVER

II enjoy trying new items. I saw that Hostess had a new item for me to try. It is called Kazbars! they are the BEST snack I have every had. they come in double chocolate and caramel. My favorite is caramel but they are both good. It is worth sharing. they come in a box of 8 mini bars and so worth it.
