When was Hostess Brands created?

Hostess Brands was not created in a single moment, but rather evolved through a series of mergers and acquisitions. Here's a breakdown of its history:

* 1908: The company that would eventually become Hostess Brands started as Continental Baking Company.

* 1919: Continental Baking acquired Wonder Bread.

* 1927: Continental Baking acquired Sunshine Biscuits.

* 1930: The company changed its name to Interstate Bakeries Corporation.

* 1932: Hostess, a brand of packaged cakes, was introduced.

* 2013: Interstate Bakeries filed for bankruptcy and its brands, including Hostess, were sold to Hostess Brands, LLC.

Therefore, it's difficult to pinpoint an exact date of creation. However, 1932 is often considered the year Hostess Brands was established as a distinct brand, with the introduction of the Hostess line of cakes.
