This afternoon I went to Wal-Mart to pick up some Zingers.

Wal-Mart is the only place that I can find Zingers and also many of the other Hostess snack cakes. There seems to be an exclusive distribution agreement between the two companies.

While locating the Zingers I happened across some other new Hostess products.

Twinkies have been back on the shelves for almost a year now, and now they have a few new flavors.

They had a nice display of Twinkies with different flavors. In the picture above you can see Strawberry Creme, Banana Creme and Blue Raspberry Creme.

There was also Chocolate Creme Twinkies. I had heard that Chocolate Twinkies were in the plans, but thought that the cake would be chocolate and not the creme. Maybe they will have both.

The Strawberry Creme Twinkies looked good, so I picked up a box to go along with my Zingers. I also noticed that Hostess has a nice marketing campaign for the summer. “Summer of Twinkies Cue the Fun!”

The Strawberry creme filling was really good. A good balance between the creme filling and the cake.

I also picked up a box of Extreme Creme Blue Raspberry Twinkies. I liked the X-Men box. It will be interesting to see how they taste. I am not a big Raspberry fan, but my friend Brett tried one and liked it.

Now to see if another Twinkies rumor will come true. Will they make a gluten free variety?

Which of the flavors would you try?
