Well, it's true, Hostess is going out-of-business. America has died, this is just the evidence. Komrad Krunch!! :'( 18,000 jobs, plus, think of all the ancillaries. drip, drip, drip

Look on the bright side. What's bad for America may be good for Mexico.

"Liquidation in this case doesn't mean that we'll never see these products again. The brands may be parceled out to different food conglomerates or all taken over by some other firm.The last time Hostess went bankrupt, Mexico's Bimbo Bakeries tried to acquire them and they might make another run at it." --Slate

Bimbo Ho Hos...perfect!  ;D

Nah.  Don't let the home spun sweetness fool you, Little Debbie is a ruthless bitch and will wrestle the marquee products away from all comers.

I don't know, Todd....Little Debbie Ho? There might be a slight marketing problem with that  :D

I had a teacher in school that people called Twinkie (I doubt to his face). He had a head sort of shaped like one - it was really quite bizarre.
Be kind to your fellow posters!!

I'm going to run out and stock up on enough Twinkies to last me for the rest of my days. Fortunately, instead of a shelf life, Twinkies have a half life and their healthy and wholesome ingredients should keep them fresh and tasty well into the next millenium.

I doubt Bimbo will try to acquire Hostess this time around. The company has too much debt. This is just another example of a company that has dug its own hole in the ground.

How sad. It's the end of an era.   

I remember the very first real job I had was working at a Hostess bakery shop one summer in Los Angeles back in the early 1970s. I was able to have all of the Ding Dongs I wanted. Ah, those were the days my friends, we thought they would never end...

"T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. stands for Tests With Inorganic Noxious Kakes In Extreme Situations. T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. is a series of experiments conducted during finals week, 1995, at Rice University. The tests were designed to determine the properties of that incredible food, the Twinkie."

Yes, they did a Turing test on a Twinkie.
