Shoppers snatch up last Hostess products

BATAVIA – Rebecca Rohan of Batavia snatched up the boxes of Hostess orange cupcakes, chocolate Zingers and vanilla Zingers as soon as she saw them Wednesday at the Batavia Jewel-Osco.



“But I didn’t get what I wanted: Twinkies,” Rohan said.



Rohan had arrived at the store about two hours too late. The store sold out of the spongy cakes by 8:30 a.m. Wednesday after receiving a shipment of the Hostess products earlier that day.

What do you think of people using fireworks near their homes?

That shouldn't be tolerated. It's dangerous.
I'd never do it, but I'll watch others.
It's OK so long as the fireworks are legal.
It's not a problem. It's just a way to celebrate.
I have no opinion.
