Unemployed with a family is terrible.

They should have thought about that before they struck and refused to negotiate and cost 18k people jobs

The company will probably open back up but without the unions. Not all unions are bad, this one was horrible however.

They have petitioned the bankruptcy court to allow them to proceed with liquidation. Hard to say who will acquire what and what parts of the company will be salvaged and what parts won't. The main brands may very well survive as part of another company.

I've never smoked our did drugs...I drink some...mostly to take the edge off Cold's neurotic posts; Ding Dongs were my vice man!!!

Four years ago I got off the smokes and got on the HoHos. Oh well. I guess there's still Dolly Madison! :cupcake:

You do realize that Dolly Madison is owned by Hostess don't you?

I trust that something will survive. Just what is the question. They did it to themselves. To lose a job is
terrible. But to lose it this way is just plain stupid.

Reading that Pabst brewing company is interested in buying Hostess - Beer flavored twinkies anyone ?

Twinkies (the real ones) back on store shelves in July

Stand down Twinkies hoarders, you can start eating your secret stash.

Twinkies will hit store shelves nationally by late July, Michael Cramer, executive vice president of Hostess Brands LLC told NBC News on Thursday. "We expect to be making and selling in July," he said. "Probably the later half of the month before the product hits the stores."
