Very nice David.

The Hostess cards remind me of my late mom. In the mid 70s she would send me up to the local grocer with a note in hand giving me permission to buy her a pack of cigarettes.

Next to the counter was the Hostess display and sometimes she would let me get a Hostess treat and I would be looking at the bottom of each pack for cards I wanted or needed.

Similar thoughts here. I remember going through displays to find Cardinals. It was always a treat when I could talk my mom into getting us some Twinkies. As soon as we got home I would dump the little buggers on the counter and head off down to my room with the box and a pair of scissors.

I also have memories of going to the store and begging for my mom to buy Hostess products.

My grandmother lived 500 miles away in NE Ohio (we were in Central Illinois) and she would save me her Hostess panels and cards, and give them to me at Christmas. I still have many of them, I cut all the panels down to individual cards.
