There'll soon be Bimbos in their lives ~ (new owner of the machinery ~ a Mexican company)- The Hostess business model was woefully out of date. The latest rage ~ actually this has been going on 15 to 20 years ~ is the instore bakery machine! Pour in the glop from plastic bags; set the control to the right product number; push the on button.

After the prescribed time the machine tells you it's done and you pull the product and wrap it in bags or place in boxes.

It's much more efficient to truck around glop to machines in the stores than it is to truck around finished product to the stores.

The alternative is to produce products with incredibly long shelf lives ~ they're a little chewier, but they can be sold in gas stations everywhere!

The Mexican BIMBO Corp are already pimping out Sara Lee and now they might get Hostess.... someday they might even nab Little Debbie....
