Now A real disaster -- Twinkies may be gone

[GeneL]

Don't worry! The remaining stock out there will remain edible for the next 100 years! :bunny:

Deep fried on the Wildwood Boardwalk - to weep.

I always considered Hostess to be merely pale imitations of Drakes cakes.

[ka jowct]

I saw a sodden box of Twinkies on the floor of a supermarket a few blocks away, as I peered through its doors on my walk down Avenue C the day after the storm. It was flanked by several pies that had apparently floated about and come to rest near the door. I had no idea at the time of the greater tragedy to come: that these storm-tossed Twinkies might be among the last of their kind.

so no longer the HOSTESS.....with the MOSTEST....on the ball....??

Not sure I've ever ate a Twinkie. I had some Zingers when I was younger.

One of the plants is here in Cincinnati.

Let's see, your company is in bankruptcy and they stick you with an 8% pay cut, BUT you can keep your job and the company stays in business--which sucks

or

in a bad economy you can go on strike, which you company has told you will result in the closing of the plants affected-and you lose your job--which definitely sucks even more.

I'm not seeing the logic in choice that was made. Sometimes you have to pick the lesser of two evils.

[N-OS X-tasy!]

Tell it to the unions.

Where is Rick-O when you need him?

In fact, Where IS Rick-O? ? ? ? Seriously. Is he doing OK? Anyone . . . ?

They're probably just trying to break the Union. They'll go under and sell the name to someone in Mexico and then
y'all will eating Mexican made Twinkie's.

Bad economy, if corporations would let go of some of their hoard we probably would sitting at around 5.5-6% unemployment, maybe less.
