Hostess

[healthfreedom]

Its a shame to see how the rich, big time union have cause 18,000 people to lose their jobs. Its crazy of the people too, because they trusted the unions more than their common sense to keep their jobs, and be able to take care of their families.

Well probably good news, it was reported today that likely the rights or whatever to Twinkies will be sold and some other company will make them so good news for Twinkie lovers and bad news for those trying to sell them for inflated prices on the internet lol

Personally, I always liked Tastikakes better.

LOL@people trying to cash in Hostess going out of business

At least Twinkies are not gone for good.  I'm just now reading about the recipe being sold to another company.

I do not understand why the bakers union thought it was better to have nothing instead of a little less.  Probably because of the government paying them unemployment insurance, welfare and food stamps.  This mindset drives me nuts.  Eventually there will not be anyone to pay all of these benefits.

I couldn't believe how much the hostess are going for on these sites and people are really buying them. I told my husband don't eat the hostess but he ate them. I told him don't you understand you just ate $50.00. These hostess are big money.

Twinkies are ok, but I have to agree with the wonderful chocolate-y delightfulness that is the Hostess Cupcake.  I love the thick, chewy frosting and the soft fluffy cake... Darn you all for putting the thought in my head! haha

not one store near where I live had one twinkie or hostess product I never ate them yuck! But weird how they have been replaced so fast by other products where hostess use to be is now other snack cakes and such..............if you are looking for twinkies ebay has tons lol!!!

I was never a twinkie fan either. I'd rather make my own cakes and fill them if I really wanted something of that nature. I've heard that some people stockpiled them well before they went out of business because they wanted easy access to them- now they're benefiting because they can sell them at high prices. Way to get rich people- now if only I'd thought of that!

   I don't understand!!!!  how can a company that makes twinkies and so many other great snacks that every body loves so much go out of buissess 

[LaKecias]

They are really gone I went to the grocery store yesterday and there was no sign there was no sign that hostess ever existed. I'm going to miss my Wonder Bread

[dwiley11]

too bad they lost there jobs,  they should have taken the pay cut

[lparker5]

This is crazy but I hope you all know exactly why they shut down.  It does suck but their is hope in store in thinking that someone is going to buy a portion of the hostess company but it will never be the same.  The strikers are the ones to blame in this situation but then again they should have been treated fairly too..

I rarely eat these types of sweets, but it'll be strange for them to not be there anymore.  It's crazy that people would pay so much for them on ebay, though.

This is the first I've heard of this.

[cashrose]

No more twinkies

Sure we'll be missing those bites.I really like those bite cuz easy to have them for fast snack. Very sad.....
