What do you think? Will America ever be without Twinkies?

It will be if Michelle Obama has her way.

Since it’s established that Twinkies have a shelf life exceeding 25 years and that may well be longer than I have.....my bomb shelter is stocked accordingly.

Scrolled 26 posts to find what I wanted, and knew would be here. ROFL.

““Bimbo” that recently bought out Sara Lee. “

Nobody doesn’t like that Bimbo Sara Lee.

[Clay Moore]

Ralcor bought Sara Lee. Bimbo bought Mrs Bairds.

Absolutely right! When you get a Ding Dong made juuuusssst right, it can’t be beat. I hope Hostess survives so I won’t be deprived of my Ding Dongs.

Bimbo did buy Sara Lee, or at the bakery part of it. My brother-in-law is a distribution manager for them, and is now a Bimbo employee. Ralcor just bought the refrigerated dough division.

well, I ate a Twinkie for the first time only when I was in my twenties and it was a sugar overload. It is horribly sweet.

[Cronos]

I think that Grupo Bimbo just bought the baked goods

[Cronos]

I just read about these divestments. What was the point of it? I don’t quite follow what Sara Lee is trying to do — just please the shareholders by sticking to high-growth sectors?
