Next Little Debbie.
(sniff!) no more deep-fried Twinkies?
Hey I thought there are a lot of Twinkies lovers in Southern CA. Oh, sorry what they have a lot of is lovers of Twinks.
Yet another company deciding that Kali isn’t worth it.
California: evil rich bastards, not paying their fare share, blah, blah, blah.
It’s no mystery as to why an increasing number of people don’t want to (or can’t) do business there.

TE, can you pic Frank’s face when I show him this? EFG ~Pandy~
The Mexican BIMBO brand seems to be doing booming business.
Rosie is going to starve to death!
I wonder how many of BIMBO employees are illegal?
The locally owned bakery in Dallas saw the writing on the wall, and sold out to Bimbo a few years ago.
No, they definitely use non-union labor.
Bimbo bought Entenmens and Orowheat in Socal
Just had some here in FL. The taste difference between them and the vanilla version is subtle - they didn't use enough banana flavoring.
Too bad, really. Never cared for the vanilla version - too bland. And these are too. My wife, who tolerates bland better than I, didn't care for them either. Never had one, of either flavor, deep fried. Not excited enough about the prospect to exert the effort.
In short, you're not missing anything.
I guess they didn’t make enough dough.....
“Bimbo bought Entenmens and Orowheat in Socal”
They must be making serious “dough”
>>I wonder how many of BIMBO employees are illegal?<<
Hehe - that is THE very first thing I thought of when I read the headline.......
I seem to remember them warning the unions last year. I bet the wages were tied to the minimum wage which was increased in CA again.
““Bimbo bought Entenmens and Orowheat in Socal””
They had enough cash flow to buy these prominent bakeries.
I think I will pass on the $500000 1500 sqft home in the middle of a crowded subdivision.
I was thinking the same thing!
..am not a Twinkie fan, but the return of the banana was better than the nondescript "white" filling..in my opinion.
However, all the Debbies and Twinkies and their like cannot beat the now famous Whoopie Pie which made this woman/homemaker an example of a very successful "cottage industry". Mainers grew up on this treat.
Don't even compare to a "Debbie".

Well there's your problem. If you name your company "Troubled" things aren't going to go well from there. /s
Hopefully Frank can live on Little Debbies alone. LOL
Twinkies are garbage.No nutritional value.And they make you do crazy things.
Ask Dan White.
For whatever it’s worth, BIMBO is pronounced “Beem-bo”. They aren’t hiring illegals. Instead they’re buying up local bakeries. (They’re one of our customers and yes, business is booming. Look for the non-union label.)
At least we know Paris Hilton won't go hungry...
California has had it in for Twinkies ever since San Francisco’s Dan White gunned down Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk and blamed it on his depression worsened by consumption of Twinkies and Coke.
You win again, Center for Science in the Public Interest ...
As long as Twinkies are made....I’m happy. And yes it is getting harder to continue doing business in California.
how many are illegal alien help?
And this article said bread bakeries. What does Interstate Bread Corp. make in the bread line? Wonder Bread, Home Pride, and Butternut. Talk about no nutritional value!
This happened in the beer industry, too, more flavorful craft and microbreweries have put lowbrow beers out of business, as well. People want good taste, they're willing to shell out an extra buck for a quality loaf of bread from a real bakery, even if it's just in their local supermarket.
No doubt their Tortilla Unit is still working three shifts...

Rimshot!
Don’t worry, they made enough of them for 50 years, their average shelf life with all the preservatives.
Twinkie the Kid is deeply saddened
