I bought 61 boxes from 5 different stores the morning the news came in saying Hostess shut down. PM me if you want to buy your stake in America's golden iconI've already sold several but I'm in no rush to give these away.
Count me out, enjoy.....
Excuse me. Maybe I'm wrong but wasn't this bankruptcy due to the union? If so, doesn't the bankruptcy free the company from Union constraints? The new owners will have buildings and equipment to make twinkies .... So won't they make twinkies? I haven't heard this is a liquidation of the company assets.

I think the Hostess name is considered an asset, so it's probably going to be sold as such.

I blog at Red State Eclectic, I totally tweet here, I sell stuff here, and also here. Liberty rocks!
I so hope the names Hostess and Twinkie get bought by and used by a non-unionized company that goes on to be very successful.
I’m not a libertarian. I’m not advocating everyone run around with no clothes on and smoke pot.
Spot on, that is exactly right.
If Hostess was being reorganized through a Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring (as it has done twice in the last ten years), the reason for that particular type of bankruptcy would not (and did not then, either time) free the company from union constraints. Those constraints stand to be completely destroyed now, however, because there will be no new owner of the "Hostess" brand. This time, the owners of Hostess are seeking to liquidate assets entirely, and go completely out of business. The new owners of those assets (e.g., Twinkies) would be completely different companies. They may or may not have anything whatsoever to do with any unions, but prior union constraints are not, and cannot be, tied to the assets--because they don't belong, in any sense of the word, to any unions or their members. The particular unions that did once have a strangehold on Hostess will be left without a Hostess pot to piss in, or a Hostess window to throw it out of.
