The end of the Twinkie? Strike threatens Hostess

Be of good cheer, Twinkies junkies: Twinkies due on shelves by summer after buyer's winning $410 million bid is approved

Woo Hoo!

Hmm, purchased by the company that owns Pabst Blue Ribbon. Sounds like a pretty good match. :slight_smile:

Combo specials?

Honestly, I’m not sure it’s so misguided. It’s honestly the first explanation I’ve heard that makes the whole thing make sense. It seems that Hostess was going to go down anyways, so negotiation would be pointless except to help out that local chapter. But if the goal of helping the local chapter was not on the table, then it makes sense that that wouldn’t be enough to sway them.

The only other explanation that made sense to me was that Hostess wasn’t actually on board with trying to negotiate in the first place, and just held firm on something they knew the union couldn’t support, just so they could make the union look bad. Remember, they’d already arranged to get all the money out for anyone who was important in the business, so tanking Hostess was already a done deal.

I hope they sell Sno balls. That was my favorite Hostess product.

^^^ I hope that they pick up right where they left off with the brownie bites. Those were my favorite Hostess product. :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
God bless you always!!!
