– Hostess is betting on a sweet comeback for Twinkies when they return to shelves next month.

The company that went bankrupt after an acrimonious fight with its unionized workers last year is back up and running under new owners and a leaner structure. It says it plans to have Twinkies and other

...

Hostess Brands Inc. was struggling for years before it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in early 2012. Workers blamed the troubles on years of mismanagement, as well as a failure of executives to invest in brands to keep up with changing tastes. The company said it was weighed down by higher pension and medical costs than its competitors, whose employees weren’t unionized.

...

The trimmed-down Hostess Brands LLC has a far less costly operating structure than the predecessor company. Some of the previous workers were hired back, but they’re no longer unionized.

Who eats ‘em? That’s not the point man, Twinkies are a state of mind, dude. It’s like if you have to explain Twinkies man it’s like next you’ll have to explain catching lighting bugs. It just IS!

I wish they’d put banana cream filling instead of the vanilla.

The original was banana creme.

“Right next to the ethylene glycol, yummy.’’<< You Bet!! Stick one molecule to another, it's anti-freeze! Take one molecule out and it's Hawaiian Punch! Whatever it is it's great American goodness bought straight to you!(Even if it IS in railroad tank cars).
