It’s such a popular, well-liked brand that that’s what I expect to happen. Apparently not popular enough to stay in business. They were doing something wrong.

Their product is by far the best in their niche. Their problem was price structure, and that was driven by the union.
Little Debbie sells for at least half the cost, but, imho, has half the flavor.
Despite all of that, Hostess has years of advertising and product visibility. Twinkies, HoHos, DingDongs, Zingers, etc.,...all are well-known loved products. Twinkies are an icon.
Brand recognition is high, product acceptance is high, and price structure is awful. Sounds like a good bet to me.
They’ll be bought and the union will not be part of the plan.

They were doing something wrong. Like not shutting down all their bakeries in union states and moving to non-union states.

Apparently not popular enough to stay in business. They were doing something wrong. It's tough to be popular enough to withstand an organization whose sole interest is taking as much as possible from the company from within, while giving as little as possible... even to the point of their own destruction. Even nature does not have such a vicious and insane parasite or parasitoid.

Apparently not popular enough to stay in business. They were doing something wrong. Apparently, they were trying to operate a business with a 27% Union labor force. In the 0bamanation, one cannot successfully do that.
