. In November and December 2022, just in time to create a mild Christmas-themed confection panic, some internet posts and articles raised the specter that Little Debbie could be no more.
The rumor seems to have stemmed from a September 2022 article in the U.S. military news publication Stars and Stripes. Maybe it was the headline that threw some off:"Goodbye, Little Debbie: Snack cakes to gradually disappear from commissary shelves."that Little Debbie products won't be sold on military bases any longer, but did not report that the brand was going kaput.
After that story was published, some misconstrued it to mean that Little Debbie was going to be gone from all store shelves for good."little debbie is going out of business?? i'm going to be sick," one Twitter userThat was never the case, however. As noted above, Little Debbies simply won't be sold on U.S. military bases, a spokesman for McKee told Stars and Stripes.
A world without Little Debbie Nutty Bars is not worth living in.
