PRICE GOUGING HAS BEGUN IN PATTWINKI

URGENT: Dateline - The Country of Pattwinki - With the recent horrifying news that there might be no more Twinkies produced due to the Hostess Company filing for bankruptcy, the inevitable Price Gouging has begun in the small, Island Country of Pattwinki.


Boxes of Twinkies are currently selling for as high as 35 Pattwinks each. (approx. $10 US)
Individually wrapped Twinkies are selling for 7 Pattwinks each on the street. (approx. $2 US)


Grand Chancellor Patticakes Winkman is invoking a country-wide state of emergency & ordering an immediate Price Freeze on all Twinkie sales. Although this might stop the average store owner from price gouging, it will not hamper the notorious Black Market which runs rampant in Pattwinki.


"Our biggest enemy in this disaster is FEAR.", Grand Chancellor Winkman was quoted as saying.  He may be right. The fear of being without your country's number one staple food must be overwhelming.


More on this tragic story as it develops.
