And since Hostess gobbled up Dolly Madison, this means no more Zingers or Snoopy donuts, either. Bastards! :cuss:

You must prepare for the future.

Soon, Twinkies made from Soylent Green by happy state workers will be the norm.

Maybe it will wake some people the hell up...

Stocking up now on Ho-Hos and Ding Dongs.

Congrats guys, you showed them! Enjoy trying to find a decent job out there.

You can make them last George, because I think the shelf life on those things is around 125 years.

What?!


I used to live on Zingers at the airport while waiting on my passengers! ****!

twinkies suck anyways

Yea but Suzy-Q's are ****ing awesome!!!

LOL at that union.

ROFL

This is from the first line of that article. Writing doesn't get any better than this:

"Those Twinkies on your cupboard shelf may last forever. But the company that makes them may not."

It's going to be weird as **** going in the grocery store and not seeing these products taking up half the bakery aisle.

I need to buy a couple boxes of Chocodiles and put them in the freezer.

Is this going to be like the fear for Gun bans?


Everybody is going to stock up on stuff cupcakes and twinkies to resale later?

Did not know that. That's encouraging. Until they extend it.

I think the intellectual property of the brand and the recipes will be purchased, but I doubt they pick up the bakeries, employees, and distribution. At least in total. It won't matter too much to the consumer, but it is a kick in the balls to the economy of these towns.

:D

I hope not.
As others have said, I can't see these brands going away even for a day. Hell, who knows? The union may straighten out and accept the new terms.

What is the legal reason the company can't shitcan the union workers and hire them or anyone else as non-union under a bk then re-org? Anyone?

This is obviously what the new company will do.

So Twinkies can survive a nuclear holocaust, but not a second Obama administration? Hmmm

Thanks Brock.
It seems the only way to go but I'm not aware if there are legal implications in terms of breaking a bargaining unit in this manner.

I went out yesterday and bought a couple packs of Twinkies, some blueberry mini muffins, and a hostess apple pie. I ate one 2 pack of the Twinkies and regretted the purchase.

Good thing I'm a prepper - I have 2,000 Ho Hos in my cache. I'm going to make millions.

WOW

You'd also be surprised at the extent of their private label business. It will be interesting to see who picks up that million miles of slack... if it's possible.

Exactly.

/Thread

People think welfare and entitlements are what's ruining this country, but corporate greed is doing just as much, if not more, damage.

Hostess CEO Greg Rayburn said in an interview that there was no buyer waiting to buy the company. But without giving details, he said that there has been interest in some of its 30 brands, which include Dolly Madison, Drake's and Nature's Pride snacks.

:LOL: That should get this topic sent off to DC.

shhhh

they will say you are a crazy person.

Only on CP can a thread about the end of Twinkies end up in DC. :facepalm:

I am a junk too junkie god have pity on me.

Greed is good.

TIME TO HIT UP THE WONDERBREAD STORES!

Little Debbie is now my bitch.

Yep, Flowers Foods. Just you see.

You know, Gates BBQ is served on Wonder Bread.
Shit just got real....

My life will go on with out Ho-Ho's.

I'm ALL for unions, but sometimes they need to know when to ease up.

Now that I think about it, I can't remember the last time I actually bought any Hostess products. I quit buying Wonder Bread years ago because it seems to get moldy within a couple of days. I laid off Zingers and Twinkies and the Snoopy donuts a long time ago, too.

I guess in the end this really won't impact me much.

People are already bidding crazy prices for boxes on Ebay

Those pies Hostess makes are so good

Goodbye horrible food that is horrible for you. I will miss you horribly.

These are what I'll miss:

Goodbye.

Some Japanese company will end up coming in and take it over.

SUPER HAPPY TWINKLE FUN TIME CAKE! Hooray!

Do not taunt SUPER HAPPY TWINKLE FUN TIME CAKE.

Fixed.

LMAO

But people need a reason to run around scream oh noez all over the internets

We hardly ever buy twinkies so I decided to tell the kids they went out of business. Hilarity ensued.

You evil bastage! What are you going to tell them next, that Santa kicked the bucket?

We ate the Easter Bunny for dinner.

LMAO..

How's that stew kids? Really.... well guess what... :evil:

LMAO

Do people really think that the bakers striking for a week is what killed this company?

They have lost quite a bit of business over this. Many restaurants use Hostess/Wonder/IBC for their buns. They have now switched and most likely, won't switch back.

Damn, right when weed got legalized

And nothing of value was lost.

You're correct, and the same dipshits crying about unions will continue to defend the CEO's even while their pay is being cut.

..."ah golly gee, shucks, at least I have a job" :rolleyes:

Ho Hos > Chocodiles > Cupcakes > Snoballs > Ding Dongs > Twinkies > Fruit Pies

Lick out the filling of one of those fruit pies and see how the women look at you.

You reminded me that I left out Suzi-Q's which go right between the ding dongs and twinkies.

Thought this was ****ing funny

ROFL

The world just got a health upgrade from being next to the shitter to just forward of the engine (on an MD-80) I suppose.

LMAO

Only $10,000,000? What is this, some kind of joke?

Thats what I was thinking...seems like some other company would want to step in and buy it up and try to fix it...

One would think that the name would be a sell able commodity.

I just started reading this thread and saw this and decided to comment on this.

I worked for IBC-Wonder-Hostess for 3 1/2 years.

Dolly Madison management manage that company to extinction, and went they went out business, thsy sold off some of their operation and product labels to IBC.

IBC, in their infinite wisdom, decided to bring those same dumbasses that managed Dolly Madison into extinction into the business and let them run the bakery and distribution operations.

As a vacation relief driver, I was moved from depot to depot to fill in where needed.

I worked in several locations from LA to Bakersfield and every place in between.

The bakery overbaked so much product that each depot would have in the neighborhood of a hundred grand of product at the end of the week, every week, that never left the depot.

Dumbasses in charge are telling you that it's because of the workers and strikes, but the reality is the dumbasses in charge are responsible for the end of business.

A ****ing apple is better than all of those. Don't eat that shit.
