You people have let me down. You’re not buying enough Twinkies and cupcakes. Because of your failure in this regard, Hostess Brands has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. How can this be? This company is an icon, and now we have to worry about Sara Lee, Little Debbie, or some Bimbo getting their hands on our Ding-Dongs.
Get out there and buy some Wonder bread.
I could get behind you on this except for…Snowballs. They deserve whatever demons hell throws at them for the Snowball.
Pistols at dawn, sir! I LIKE Snowballs!
Sorry, Baker. Swords. But I’ll go left-handed just to be fair.
According to Wikipedia, this’ll be Hostess’ third bankruptcy in a decade.
So maybe it’s not our fault…
Obviously, pot needs to be legalized. Hostess is too big to fail.
I have this theory that Snowballs were created as a bar bet to determine just how much ghastly nonsense the American people could be persuaded to swallow, like Scientology, or Carrot Top. But now that I’m addicted, I have to get my pink coconut somewhere.
The article says that they owe nearly a billion dollars in pension liabilities, which surprises me a bit. I would have thought that their workers would tend to die young.
Shit. Whats going to happen to Fruit Pies? Were will I get my daily servings of fruit?
This is just so wrong on so many levels. How could they go bankrupt? Pension liabilities? More over-promising while underfunding by an American company, eh?
Blaming it on healthier eating? Damn it man, just roll out some fruit hohos! Give me a hoho with cherry filling and dark chocolate. I’ll be all over them despite my diabetes.
Glad to see those pesky bankruptcy-limiting laws only apply to us lesser mortals.
This is where I cut and run, isn’t it?
I’m surprised they don’t just blame it all on Twinkies.
Just because he insists on bringing a sword doesn’t mean you can’t bring a pistol, you know.
I’m wondering why on Earth a company like Hostess could possibly get in over its head on legacy pension benefits? Did a bread and cake company really need to offer exorbitant pension benefits for rudimentary production line jobs? 
I read this as “give me a hobo with cherry filling and dark chocolate”.:eek:
Pass the bong. and the Twinkies, man. 
Well, this is terrible news for Tallahassee.
I live a few blocks from a Hostess outlet store and I tell ya, I’m carryin’ at least 3 lazy bastards who aren’t pullin’ their weight, so to speak.
I’m in that mofo at least once a week and I drop some serious coin. I’m talkin’ Wonder bread, Beefsteak rye, Natures Pride (the multigrain bread is the bomb), Twinkies, HoHos, Fruit pies, etc.; I’m all over that shit!
Huh. There’s a Hostess outlet down the street from me as well. Most of the activity I see there is at night, when the local kids go dumpster-diving. I wish I were kidding.
I saw what you did there.
This is all Michelle Obama’s fault with all her “eat healthy” non-sense. She is destroying American jobs!
