How Much Money Did You Spend On Prom This Year In Texas? [POLL]

I went to prom my senior year back in 2005, and I remember paying $60 for my dress, and $40 on gas for my car to get to the venue. My friends and I didn't rent a limo or anything, because we all lived in different cities, and since were part of the Prom Committee, we had to be there early to set up and organize the event. A friend of our family was a hairdresser, so she charged me $15 for an updo, and the cost of my necklace and matching earrings came to $20.

So, my total costs for prom (well, my parents' total costs), came to a whopping.... $135!

Now, can you guess how much parents spend on their child's prom in 2012?

It has long been said that a Twinkie would survive a nuclear war. But Hostess, the company that makes the treats, is not so immortal.

In fact, Hostess is expected to file for bankruptcy this week, citing over $800 million in debt. While there is a good chance Hostess will be able to reorganize or be bought out by another company — ensuring Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Ho Hos will remain in stores — it’s possible that this could spell the end of the line for the tasty snack cakes we all grew up on.
