Days after MMJ laws were approved by voters, this happens... Eelskimmer should stock up on all the Hostess and Drakes he can find and sell them from his proposed dispensary. ��

Yes, there's clearly a parallel between banks that make the economy function and the humble Twinkie.

Not to make this too political but doesn't anyone else find the use of "Never Forget" a bit off color?

Who cares about Twinkies. Its the Hostess Cupcakes and the Ring Dings and Funny Bones I'll miss. I think Twinkies died a slow death beginning when they became the brunt of so many comedy jokes. It was suddenly unfashionable to be seen with a Twinkie. :)

I can't imagine that someone will not want to pick up those products and make them somewhere. Seems clear that there is a demand for them and that people think they can be profitable if they get out from under the existing union/current manufacturing situation.

they are filing for liquidation because one union will not budge.
Any bets that the new owner will be non-union, same jobs but lower pay and benefits?

well, that, and the top 10 execs made close to 50% of the money... damn rich union bakers...

Saltheart 11-17-2012 02:33 PM

But first there will be no jobs for 18,000 and no hostess cupcakes for 200 million.

I belonged to bothg the United Grocery Workers and the United Steel Workers. Both screwed me while I was a member. If you ask me whatever union will not bidge is now screwing 18,000 Twinkie makers out of a job.

At one time unions were a good idea. I think that maybe now they are a big burden and cost more jobs than they protect.
