(Boston-AP) -- A man who works at a little snack bar in Boston says some of his customers are "ready to kill."

Charlie Bianchi says he hears it all day -- "Where's my Twinkies?" "Where's my Devil Dogs." As it turns out, there really is a Twinkie shortage.

A Teamsters strike has shut down bakeries -- and it's causing a scarcity of some baked goods from Maine to Washington.

One Massachusetts worker says, "Bring back the Ring Dings and the Devil Dogs." Rubens Breeden says otherwise he'll be forced to eat healthy food.

A New Hampshire woman who snapped up some of the last Twinkies at a gas station says she claims the snacks are for her kids. But Pamela Anderson says -- they're really for her.
