Too late, they already do that and at a far cheaper cost!

I am sure they’ll get their 99 weeks of unemployment and a bit, maybe 2 bits, from the union. They will be learning the wonders of food stamps too.

I do like the Lays with half the salt though.

My wife told me the diet soda is what gives me a gut (I’m not fat anywhere else, and am past my bad diet days). The problem is that I need the caffeine, and would fall asleep at 5:30 pm without it.

...in Mexico.

If you mean the “lightly salted” you’re right; you taste the potato instead of the salt. I prefer them to any other type (unless I have a sour cream & onion craving - happens about once per 3 months). For a short time we had some kind of thicker potato chips around about a year ago; they were good, but disappeared pretty quickly - maybe they weren’t selling well.

DING DONG the witch is dead.....

[Drew68]

Does anyone out there have a good copycat recipe for the Hostess Ding Dongs?

I don't think you could find the ingredients for a Ding Dong in a grocery store.

That is a good point, why is it all going to the gut? My gut pushes my pants down and my butt isn’t big enough to keep it up! We’ve been deformed by corn syrup!

Only Mexican's still eat that crap.

If the NY majority owner declares bankruptcy, the rest of the company would then be in a better position to regroup in Texas, rather than in NY, right?

Just asking.

I am certainly not a financial expert, but based on personal experience, all the NY equity company owners that bought up stable companies, ruined them in 6 years or less...

“The problem is that I need the caffeine, and would fall asleep at 5:30 pm without it.”

That’s why I drink black tea. I practically mainline the stuff.

Slaughtered by Unions.. And Michelle Obama who’s declared ‘WAR ON SNACKS’ and freedom of choice as she raids children’s lunch boxes and confiscates their Twinkies. That reminds me, when’s her next luxurious, tax payer funded vacation of frills and perks?

[GeronL]

Now I could eat a bag of these, especially the chocolate ones.

[BluH2o]

No problem ... the liberal MSM will be reporting that unemployment has reached a four year low in October. Would you believe 5.4 percent? That’s where we are going ...

[Domestic Church]

Start looking for TastyCakes!

Homeboy’s layin’ off Twinkies?

They ain't screwin' wit Skittles, other than trying to extort money.

the little debbie stuff is pretty good and way cheaper than hostess.
