......you'd better go buy some now. Hostess and Wonder bread are closing their doors. It's a shame that they have been so poorly run over the past decade. I've watched the route men get shit on more and more while more and more of their wages were taken away. That company got what they deserved. I feel terrible for their employees who are jobless now, but I don't feel sorry at all for the people running that company. They are pathetic excuse for businessmen.

Oohhhhhhh Nooooohh!!!!
I heard that if you store them for ten years they turn into alcohol🍻 -
I just heard this about an hour ago. Crazy! That's to bad to hear about the poor treatment of the people who gave so much for the company though.
-
Wonder Bread... it's a wonder to me how long they've peddled that garbage into America's stomach as long as they did.
Although I feel sorry for the workers, I won't miss that 'product'.
-
The Wonder bread product did go to crap. No one bought it anymore.
The Hostess products are fantastic, but incompetent management ran them under.

Hey! I buy wonder bread it's cheap.
-
Seriously? No more zingers?!!! 😭
-
No Twinkies? Poor stoners.
-
Hmmm... No more "Twinkie Defense", huh? damn, there goes my plan.
-
Do they make joe lois? Please tell me they don't!
-
Eh, they'll be back. Too big to fail in the long run IMO

Really bad timing for the states that just voted to legalize.
-
Dang it. Wonder bread has a significant history. It was the first sliced national bread. (Really! It was the greatest thing since... light bulbs?)
In the '40s, the government ordered that it become fortified, and the company embraced it, adding further nutrient additives as part of their marketing. Many cases of disease and malnutrition were prevented by this move.
In 1995, hostess (IBC) bought it, and here we are.
I grew up on Wonder bread. I still buy it. Damn nutrition nazis and their ignorance.
What's next? Hot dogs? (Also designed to nourish the poor.)
The kid in me is pissed.

Looks like little Debbie's will be reaping the benefits.
-
great now how are they going to deep fry twinkies... guess they'll have to use ho-hos
-
I just bought out my local grocery store. I got 4 Twinkies. Sad. But Little Debbie has Twinkie look-a-likes. I hate Twinkies, but it's an American icon.

Amazon has boxes of 10 Twinkies for $500, and $1000 already. Expirations are the first week in December.
Hostess said that they are hoping to sell off 60 brands, so they probably won't go away... But fire up eBay while you can!
I feel like I'm in ZombieLand.

@Brown Note the Little Debbie version of the Twinkie is pretty good. But it hasn't sold worth a lick in the two years they've been out. I quit ordering them because they were costing us too much money in stale.

As for the boxes, that's a joke that people are hoping to sell boxes at that price. I'm sure the Hostess cakes will be bought by a company and back on the market within a year.

I bought a box of Twinkies 6 months ago, and really, they were awful. Beef fat? Whole eggs? That's old school. But I don't see that as old fashioned quality... It's just greasy, sticky corn syrup sponge-bread with no flavor. Sales are down, and it's amazing that they're as popular as they are. But they have so many cameos in film and TV because of the classic Twinkie cult status.
GM gets an immediate government bailout, but Hostess? All they needed was a couple million. C'mon, Mr. Obama! This is why you were re-elected! Free money for failing companies! Imagine the legacy of preserving Twinkies for democracy! A few million to save a few thousand jobs? That's much cheaper than the others you 'created'.
-
Yeah if they would stop striking they would still have jobs
-
Yep. Now I'm positive the worlds ending.
-
But if there are no more twinkies, what will we eat during the apocolips?

They've declared bankruptcy a few times already. That company deserves to be gone now. While I feel awful that those people lost their jobs, other jobs will open up in other bakeries and routes because of more stores and restaurants to deliver to. And someone will take over that Hostess product soon enough.I bought a box of Twinkies 6 months ago, and really, they were awful. Beef fat? Whole eggs? That's old school.

The pastry industry will bounce back from this - must admit its a serious kick in the romantic childhood memories though.

Unionized themselves right out of a job
