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." |

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. |

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?

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.

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.

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