Can't say I've ever been tempted to want to eat a twinky. It just doesn't look appealing to me.

I loved all their stuff except the pink snowball things, I loved getting a bag of the little chocolate covered doughnuts put them in the fridge to get cold. Go smoke a bit and come back and eat the whole bag...

Hostess sold out everywhere. Can't find any at Sam's or Costco. Shit. Walmart is bare. 7-11 out. Just saw a bread truck at Kum-in go. Going to trade the drive for some.

Not to worry bros... some company will buy the tradename and we will continue to have Hostess products. Heck it still may be Hostess for all we know. They are going to liquidate and file Chapter 11.

But the reason behind it is to avoid the labor strike. Instead of paying the employees what they want, it's cheaper for them to close than pay up. So I doubt they will reopen but I am hoping that someone buys up the trademark and starts making Zingers...

Btw, they showed on TV the other day that on eBay, the opening bid for 10 boxes of Twinkies = $1.5 million... Wtf?!

Production was shut down last Friday. It's costing them 1 million a day just to pay management while they go thru mediation with union.

i've never been a big fan of sweets so i'm not hurt over the shut down at all. this just shows what unions do to companies these days. IMO although i did have some Hostess chocolate cupcakes yesterday that were cream filled and they were fucking great.
