In my little town, they’ve had a run on Twinkies. They’re all gone, but I was able to score a box of these. One of the last two. I’ve been eating Hostess Twinkies and Cup Cakes all my life.
I support the Hostess management for telling the unions to get fucked. Fuck a bunch of unions. All unions. The unions did real well for their people…18,500 just lost their jobs. All said and done, it will be more. Stupid.
Sounds like something I would do.
Anyway, I’ll keep the box.

Someone will buy them out and start making them again
Catfish, that’s probably true but the might ultimately have to rebrand them – copyright laws and all. In the meantime we will have to make do with things like Moon Pies (and RC Cola!)
…and Goo Goos
They’ll definitely sell it.
I am definitely going to miss those chocolate cupcakes with the icing centers.
Hostess going Galt. Got my vote.
I had two of ‘em yesterday…damn good and brings back some fond memories.
Yes, orphan brands get bought all the time. But this was HOSTESS!!!
I too got a box of cupcakes, three of their mini muffins, and one of the donettes. And we shall feast!!
Hostess rocks!
I would toss myself over the edge of a tall building if they ever stopped making Circus Peanuts.
You’re gonna be reading about some Twinkie suicides shortly.
And yet whatcha wanna bet that the workers will refuse to make the connection that their precious union just cost them their jobs over an 8% pay cut? Instead they will blame greedy Hostess. And all the other usual suspects.
