KENNEWICK - It is a mad dash for a treat that will soon disappear. If you found yourself headed to the store to get a last-ever twinkie, you're in good company.
Franz bakery outlet tells us all Twinkies, Ho-Hos and Snowballs sold out by 10 this morning. That comes a day after Hostess which makes Twinkies said it was shutting down, putting thousands out of work.
If you can't find any Twinkies in the our area and are desperate some boxes run for one-thousand bucks on e-bay.
"It's sad because I grew up on them, so - it's going to be different," said Hostess Consumer Tiffany Wood.
"We're going to stock up on them and we're going to just keep on getting as much as we can," added another Hostess Consumer Rebecca Wood.
Outlet employees also say the biggest Hostess sale of the past day hours totalled 75 dollars.

The Twinkie, which was created during the Depression, contains thirty-nine ingredients. One of those ingredients is a preservative, sorbic acid. Sorbic acid is actually derived from natural gas.
If that isnât shocking enough, there are other ingredients like cellulose gum, Polysorbate 60, and calcium sulfate. Apparently, these ingredients are also used in sheet rock, shampoo, and rocket fuel. No wonder Twinkies make kids run around like crazy and have even been used as a defense for murder! Some of the other vitamins, artificial colors, and flavorings in Twinkies come from petroleum.
How can this tasty treat made from gas and rocks be so light and airy ? ! ? Apparently, itâs limestone that makes Twinkies light. And that tasty cream centerâitâs got to be milk, right? No. Itâs made of shortening; there is absolutely no cream in the cream.
