As the Covid-19 coronavirus continues spreading rather rapidly across the globe, one company is seeing an unexpected bump in the sales of their snack cakes.
Hostess Brands CEO Andy Callahan has stated that there’s been a notable increase in the sales of their ever-popular Twinkies and Ding Dongs. Both snacks are known for their unusually long shelf lives, something sure to be fueling many consumers to stock up on the tasty treats in the midst of the coronavirus epidemic.
Speaking to Yahoo Finance, Callahan stated:
We are benefiting likely in the short-term due to traffic. That’s the great thing about Hostess, we are there to celebrate things. We are there to comfort things. So we are seeing a slight uptick in traffic. It’s too early to tell, a lot of our point of sale data lags.
Other supplies are seeing major upticks in their sales numbers too,...

“Harriet” writer-director Kasi Lemmons was in a reflective mood at Tuesday night’s “Behind the Scene” event at the Formosa Cafe in West Hollywood, sponsored by the Writers Guild of America West.
The biopic, starring Cynthia Erivo as slave-turned-abolitionist Harriet Tubman, has been receiving buzz since its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. It’s Lemmons’ fifth movie in 22 years, going back to “Eve’s Bayou.”
“To make movies, I have to have that incredible focus,” Lemmons explained. “So Harriet was my anchor. She’s easy to love.”
“I wanted to do a movie that felt big even if it wasn’t and I wanted to do with the scope it deserved,” she added. “I wanted to research, feel who she was and bring all that detail into it. At first, I didn’t really understand the textures of Maryland and I didn’t get that it was a...
