Dear fellow junk food aficionados: A great chapter of American history is coming to an end. The Texas-based Hostess company, the producer of Twinkies, Ho Ho’s and other fine pastries, has been gutted by a union dispute and is closing its doors for good. A total of 18,500 people will lose their jobs, but even more catastrophically, we will no longer have Twinkies!
Hostess Brands Inc. today announced that it is winding down operations and has filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court seeking permission to close its business and sell its assets, including its iconic brands and facilities. Bakery operations have been suspended at all plants, says a statement on the Hostess Brands website.
This is devastating news for America.
Looking at local Craigslist ads since this announcement, people are trying to sell their Twinkies for upwards of $500! No joke!
NO JOKE? Gov. Christie to expound on this announcement!!!
Looks like a good time for union to go in and buy up the assets and start another winn-co type co-op company.
