^^^^^ You got that $%^& right!

There may be a saving grace to this all, I heard that Hostess was selling the name rights to the people that manufacture Twinkies and such.
Man if I have to go the rest of my days without a twinkie, I'm not sure if life is worth living.

Load up now and ration them to yourself. They probably have a shelf life of 100 years.

o don't you worry sir. there is a Hostess outlet (yes you heard right) right down the street. I will be there shortly.

Yea the CEO said they will sell the rights and auction off the products for other companies to start making.
Hate to see the people in Memphis that have had 25+ years there now out the door.
Of course they get a highly educated person on the interview a minute ago. Basically said the company profit has declined but the union employees want more money. But now mad bc they are being let go for shutting down production for a week now.
In my eyes it ones of these things. Either cross the line and go back to work an keep your job and others, or follow the teamsters that tell you to keep striking after they have closed the doors. But no one knows the facts yet of it all.
Hate to see it for anyone.
