Hostess Closing down

[71green go]

I cannot believe that because of strikes that Hostess is closing its doors...18,500 people will be unemployed in United States.......Canadian operations unaffected
The deadline for settlement came and went and workers were told if they didn't come to an agreement they would close all factories.....they thought it was an idle threat but Hostess is saying it will shut down ....I mean really, this makes me ill

Hostess was a 2.5 billion dollar a year company........sad, just what this economy needs

I see an opportunity- Canada will still have them, I can become an international Ho Ho and Twinkie smuggler!

This Twinkie thing is nuts now.  Just got on Ebay,  28 pages of Twinkies for sale.   Some going as high as $200 a box.  $100 for a pair of them in vending machine packaging.

I think there is enough people that would rather have a cream puff  than that Twinkie

Well, you just never know.   


Back on topic; I didn't hear this much clamor when Chrysler eliminated Plymouth & GM eliminated some of their brands?

Good news, we might have jalapeno Twinkies.

Great, something else to be sold to an offshore company and further f^ck the economy. Not that Twinkies are going to make or break it but add up all the little things plus 18,000+ people out of work.

[Mopar Nut]

This explains it.
