At least until someone buys the brand and starts making them again.
Unions: When the economy is hurting, hurt it even more by forcing shutdowns like this.
That's right I like guns and ponies. NO NEW GUN CONTROL.

Very, very likely. Same for the whole Hostess brand. It's the worlds largest bakery, so anyone would be up to take it.
Just don't expect it to be from the US. Anheuser-Busch, anyone?
Fun to play with, even better to eat.

But how will comic book heroes stop criminals without Hostess Fruit Pies!
Anyone with a Facebook...or, friends in real life, knows this. I am actually sick of hearing it.
No disrespect intended, but people are just now pretending to care and it's annoying. If people bought them Hostess wouldn't be going out of business in the first place.

I haven't eaten a Twinkie in many moons, but that still doesn't mean I wanted the entire operation to close.

As has been said, there are alternatives.
Ecchi first, ask questions never.
You might, I mean you will all think I'm a fucking weirdo because I honestly never had a Twinkie in my life. Seriously. I've never eaten one before. My mom just never bought them I guess.
Anyone snapped a photo of a scooter hauling Hostess products yet?

Srsly, the 19th century sucked.
The simple fact is that some people will never be happy, no matter how good their lives are.
Im so freaking pissed about them not making twinkies anymore.
Anyway.. did anyone else think about that scene in Zombieland when the hostess truck didn't have any twinkies in it?
YES OBAMA, LET'S KEEP TAXING THE SHIT OUT OF BIG BUSINESSES
I had a twinkie once and it was awful so good riddance
Maybe if they made good treats people would buy them and they wouldn't be in such dire financial straits.
Make good products. (twinkies are disgusting)

I like how neither of you even bothered to check out the article. They had to shut down because workers went on strike.

Get your facts straight mate. Don't hate on the unions here; take a minute to think about who's going to be spinning the reports on this the most.

Good news, I know it's from NY Post but at least the despair won't last. Hostess fans will rejoice while the haters will probaly listen to their Linkin Park records (anything after Hybrid Theory) and cuts themselves with the blade of bitter hatred and moan in agony of despair.

Not exactly why, look at all their pre-existing debt. Please don't jump on the bottom rung workers here just because that's the face value 'scoop' story that the media likes to give out. Historically there are almost no examples of media businesses being on the side of unions.
Don't forget the things unions have done: the weekend, the minimum wage, the rights to so many things that make your life tolerable.

Is that Twitter?
Anyway for a time being, what alternatives will the people go for? Today all I find was Little Debbie's. Then again it wasn't all bad since they're fifty cents each.

Unions aren't just riding on things they did in the past, they still do things now. They do a few minor different things in Britain but in America I've discovered that unions run the biggest training programs outside of the military, which are often linked with companies, creating many many subsequent sought after apprenticeships.
"Did you know that union letter carriers save lives all the time by alerting officials when an elderly person hasn't collected her mail from the mailbox?"
Thing is though if you take them away now then there really is no rape-ex device to stop our workers rights being taken away. They'll lube us up and fuck us boy, don't you see.
More close to home, my dad who works with a recruitment agency (work is very very non-existent where I live, rural England), has finally been given equal pay to people who do the same job as him, because of the recruitment agency union. Before that, he could be given the frankly inadequate minimum wage forever, for doing the same job as people getting paid more, simply because he had a non-secure job.
Yeah they've got their bad times; I fucking hate when the post goes on strike, but when they do, I understand that in the grand scheme of things I'm glad to have a postal service run by people who believe they are entitled because they work, not just because they are.

The Twinkies will be back.
They will "survice" the bankruptcy since the company gets sold.
