Members eeyore Posted November 17, 2012 Members Posted November 17, 2012 OMG! Hostess Brands is liquidating. Where and I going to find my Twinkies and Ding Dongs? Quote
Guest FourAces Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 This is going to be really interesting to watch. An iconic company with several profitable products cutting off its nose to spite its face Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted November 17, 2012 Members Posted November 17, 2012 The union decided to sacrifice that 18000 jobs rather than establish a precedent that might affect several other unionized companies. It's shit like this that gives unions a bad name. Quote
Members Suckrates Posted November 17, 2012 Members Posted November 17, 2012 Well, have to switch to the "Little Debbie" brand... they make an OK Twinkie too. Quote

It's shit like this that gives unions a bad name. I thought it was more transparently union-busting, myself. It's hard not to believe the name and the product won't be bought out and continue... without all the current employees... Then again, as fat as Americans have gotten there're quite a few who at the least avoid the worst of the worse junk-food (i.e. Hostess's whole line...), so maybe their marketshare was tanking? Quote
