The description of Wonder Bread as akin to eating wallpaper paste is apt. However, it seems the Dummies can’t make the connection between union strikes and companies going out of business. Because in Dummy world, businesses exist to provide jobs. So what if they can’t make money and/or go in the red. (snicker)

Well, hubby went grocery shopping today and the stores were picked clean of Wonder Bread, Twinkies, Donettes, everything Hostess

Hostess No More Mostest

[freedumb2003]

I had a Twinkie
hecho en el Sur
and Bimbo was its name
B-I-MBO
B-I-MBO
B-I-MBO
And Bimbo was its name-o.

Aren’t those DUers Earth Goddesses or something. Why the [unladylike word] aren’t they making their own dang bread? Perhaps they don’t know the concept of “home cooking.”

[hattend]

I, for one, welcome our new Mexican ovenlords

Now that just made me LOL! Well done!

[MoochPooch]

I went on a field trip to the local Wonder Bread Bakery also in 1967

Around that same time I went on a field trip to Helms Bakery, in Los Angeles. The smell was wonderful, and we each received miniature loaves.

I wouldn't go near Wonder Bread or any Hostess junk now. End of an era.

But I'm surprised -- why would this woman? Aren't these DU types supposed to be into natural or artisanal food?

Aren't these DU types supposed to be into natural or artisanal food?

They talk a good game, but when they swipe their EBT cards, you know that cart is loaded with junk food. Otherwise they wouldn't be 100# overweight.

[Rides_A_Red_Horse]

I’m gonna give it a try, because I don’t have another choice, but DAYUM! Did they have to name it BIMBO!?

Weren’t these the same people who were proud to support the “Slut March?”

[visualops]

I heard the judge say Hostess and Union has to go to arbitration (or was it mediation? ) something like that.
Bimbo bread is okay. It is like wonder bread. I prefer french or italian myself..

Same reason you won’t find a Red Lobster restaurant in New England.

Actually, the only decent Red Lobster I ever ate at was in New England -- the staff there actually knew how to cook seafood!

:: Frankly, I would love to see a Bimbo Hostess line of products ::

THAT would be the purview of Jill Kelley.

[Jonah Hex]

You can put some Olive Oyl on each side. . . . Hmmm good.

[A little Extra Virgin with your Bimbo. . . . Yumm!]

"Well, blow me down!"

[GQuagmire]

I did check to see if there were any up here after I wrote that. I was surprised to find there are a few in Conn.

I went to one in Canton OH 20 years ago. I was at a training class for work and the others in my group wanted to go. They were from the Midwest. Needless to say I had a cheeseburger.

The baker union's "win" over the eeevil bakery corporation reminds me of a somewhat similar union "victory" over the company in which I was employed for most of my working life (I'm now retired). Our company built a plant in a NE state that is practically owned by big labor (mistake #1) and hired about 100-125 local people for well paid assembly line jobs. They were paid substantially more per hour than any local companies were paying, along with a generous profit sharing program and fully paid for health insurance.

However, that excellent benefit package wasn't good enough for the unionized workers, so they began demanding higher pay and more benefits even though many, if not most, of them in that backwater area had been unemployed before the plant opened. So, when their demands were not met they began what amounted to a reign of terror tactics against the management team and their families who had relocated to that area. It began with relatively minor criminal acts such as spray painting cars parked overnight, paper bags of excrement left on doorsteps, threatening notes, etc, then progressed to killing family pets and hanging the bodies on doorknobs,, threatening kids walking to school, breaking windshields, denting car roofs and doors, etc.

After a few months of those outrages and little or no help from local law enforcement (unionized no doubt) the CEO of our company simply closed the plant and put the property up for sale. I had been offered a considerably better position in mid-level management at that plant before it opened, but I didn't take it because my family didn't want to relocate from the sunny south to the frozen northland. And after the union terror tactics became known throughout the company I was very thankful that they had kept me from taking that transfer. I hope the fanatical union so-called "workers" who fouled their own nests are happy now while they're probably back to living on public welfare paid for by the taxes of other people who are willing to work for good wages and generous benefits without the "blessing" of thuggish union bosses.

“I have been having quite a bit of a hard time in thinking I may lose my beloved Wonder Bread,”

Let them eat cake!

[CSM]

“a national brand like Hostess is likely not going away for long. . . . it will probably outlive us all.”

Yet, these same DUmmies deny this exact situation regarding GM.
