Allee’ Willis Kitsch O’ The Day – Hostess Cupcake Box
I only wish the real thing looked as good as this plastic trinkets box that looks like I remember Hostess cupcakes looking like back in the day. Today the real thing has shrunken to abnormally small sizes, the signature white curlicue fading to a limpy brown color as God knows what chemicals keep the cakes fresh in their individually wrapped packages. With this said, as much as I once loved Hostess cupcakes I still keep hope alive that one day when I open this box the cream filling will miraculously be waiting for me in the middle.

Didja know the squiggle is trademarked? And it’s always 7?

I think this may have been marketed as an actual Cupcake tote (to pack in a lunchbox, for instance). I’ve got a figure of Twinkie The Kid sold for that purpose. He has bendy arms and legs, and you take his hat off to insert the Twinkie inside. I don’t actually LIKE Twinkies (I’m a Zingers man, myself), but I recognized a quality product when I saw it.

Thanks GoingLikeSixty — the fact about the trademarked seven loops on every Hostess Cupcake is a wonderful nugget of news. I’m partial to the orange topped cupcake with the yellow cake. Never even thought to count the rings. And Devlin — I agree about the cupcake box being a protective container though it definitely looks good enough to eat.

My favorites were Hostess snowballs, the pink ones. Wouldn’t mind having one of those to keep in this box right now!
