The Twinkie/wonderbread factory is 5 mins from my house.
They are going to liquidate the brands, I'm sure someone is going to by twinkies and the other product lines.

I'll miss driving by on a Sunday morning and smelling the baking of the breads.

Never cared much for the twinkie stuff. But do like the Home Pride bread.

Seeing they are selling the brands off, some of the product line should come back.

I'm wondering if the unions (300 different labor contracts?) were hoping the companies deadline of returning to work last night was a bluff. Big risk to take.

So 18,500 more jobs lost. And, an untold number of retirees who will be losing, at minimum, their monthly retirement income, and perhaps health benefits.

Is a major bummer all around.

you can only hope there is a buy out and folks are put back to work.

NO MORE HOSTESS O,S

Mother of gawd, what is this world coming to?

I kinda feel like a part of my childhood is dying.

It was my childhood. My dad had a bread route for the west coast brand. He then had an outlet store with routes running from there. I dressed as Snoopy one weekend to help promote Ding Dongs. He paid me good! At home, our freezer was full of bread and treats. I was the go to friend, lol. Wow, this is sad.

Looking around for some other cream filled treats....
