Yes they do still make Twinkies! Hostess, the makers of Twinkies, filed for bankruptcy making fans of the snack cakes worried their favs would be gone forever! Twinkies do last forever however so at least the remaining ones would never go bad! Hostess began to liquidate in 2012 but was sold to private equity firms Apollo Global Management and C. Dean Metropoulos and Co and quickly started making the snacks again!Â
