No More Twinkies for You! Hostess Going Out of Business

[Keith and stuff]

The company was poorly run and should have been shut down. It was shut down. This is more markets are supposed to work. Better run companies like the Mexican based Bimbo and the Georgia based Flowers will expand. In fact, I know a guy who works for Flowers and he said that his company just took on an additional 3 feet of bread space in an area grocery store chain.

I don't see how anyone is going to survive the nuclear holocaust without any twinkies.

This is a sad day

Ron Paul people will survive. Zombieland fans will not.

There are two of these plants in my area, the people that voted for the strike did so due to pension cuts , not the health increase , not the pay cuts.I think it was a poor decision, but , hey just my take.

I don't know from Twinkies, never had one. But no more Zingers? No more HoHo's? No more of those cupcakes with the creamy filling and rubbery, but delicious frosting with the crunchy curlycues?

This is a tragedy.

Ya those are the best. Not that I've had one in several years. Not that they aren't available for about a dollar in a vending machine about 100 feet from my cubicle where I work every day. But they are the best.

Yeah right. Stoners like you are what kept them in business this long.

At 6'1" and 144 lbs. I guess it's no wonder they went out of business.

What do you eat when you get the munchies? Prunes?

Haven't had one in years either, but that is serious nostalgia food for me. Mom used to occasionally pack them in the lunchbox as a special treat. I might have to buy one when I go to the store today, just to mop up my tears.

They don't taste as good as they used to. I don't know if they changed, or my tastes changed, or both.

But here we are, admitting that we haven't had any in years, while speculating why the company failed. Duh.
