Will the Twinkie Eating Stunt by Kobayashi Save Hostess?

Wendy Williams invited the gluttonous master eater, Takeru Kobayashi, to "The Wendy Williams Show" on Fox to set a record in the Guiness Word Record books. The food in question is the Twinkie, a mascot of the Hostess snack company. It's obviously a publicity stunt to save the dying company, but one could give credit to them for originality.

There weren't any records for eating Twinkies, therefore Kobayashi could have stopped eating after a few twinkles, but he wasn't going to leave his future competitors an easy challenge to beat. In less than minute, Kobayashi cleaned the plate of 14 Twinkies while a representive from Guiness looked on. Even after the one minute was over, he continued devouring the remaining Twinkies until nothing was left. Whether the stunt would save Hostess from bankruptcy or at least the Twinkie has yet to be seen.
