John Curley's mom-in-law mourns the loss of Hostess' Sno Ball

November 16, 2012 @ 5:33 pm (Updated: 5:53 pm - 11/16/12 )

John Curley's mother-in-law was devastated to learn that Hostess was shutting down.

It's not just a food, it's a sentimental feeling that she gets every time she sees a Sno Ball, Carol told Ron & Don on Friday.

Carol saw tears in the grocery store isles, not from children demanding the treats, but from adults who found themselves letting ago of a piece of childhood.

    Even as a kid, I thought Sno Ball's were the nastiest thing on the planet.

    My mom would stock our freezer with all that Hostess stuff to put a dessert into our lunch boxes for school. The parents made a trip to the Hostess store about every 2 months. We would all sneak into the stash and raid it until all that were left were the Sno Balls.

    Eventually, even a Sno Ball hater, will eat Sno Balls when that is all that is left..........I'll eat them, but it doesn't mean I have to LIKE them!
