Whoa, whoa, whoa. I thought when a company goes bankrupt, they just disappear into the ether! I mean that’s what would have happened to GM, right?

this is a liquidation sale, not a restructuring sale.
it is likely, someone is bidding to buy the brand and intellectualy property only. it the bid is high enough, it would be accepted, and the physical assets sold as scrape.

"...but Mexican company El Grupo Bimbo may have an edge...Grupo Bimbo...is the largest bread-baking company in the world."
There ya go. Bimbo Twinkies has a ring to it. LOL!

Interesting, let El Grupo Bimbo purchases “Hostess Brands”, maybe that can be a precedent for the “undocumented” going back to Mexico for work. Perhaps boycotting union iron-fisted companies may run them into bankruptcy! If our economy is continuing into the tank, affording other such luxuries will eventually diminish. Learn to be more self-sufficient. The recipe is online, make your own.

At this point, I’ll only eat them again it:
1. They are non-union
2. They are made in China, not the U.S.

"Hostess makes Twinkies as well as popular snacks including Ho Hos, Ding Dongs, Suzy Qs, Sno Balls..."
Teeth hurt just reading that.
