Mitt has caused enough damage to America with his losing the election. I would rather he go on an extended vacation to one of the many islands he owns. Maybe he can start counting his dollars one by one. That should keep him busy for years to come. We seriously need to take Mitt Romney our of our vocabulary and completely stop talking about him on Free Republic. Since when do we waste our time talking about a liberal????

Democrat run private equity helped wreck it and Republican run private equity may bring it back.
My guess is only the brand names will survive, being produced in facilities that already make similar products.

All you have to do is build a better Twinky and the masses will beat a path to your door. It's the American way.

I think Government Motors needs to buy this company, and give all of their union workers free Twinkies as part of a payment plan. Looks good in Kookville, it’s probably worth a try. Someone needs to suggest this to the WH

The monkeys at the local zoo could have saved Hostess, if the first step had been to dismiss the union.

The union was bent on suicide. Let it lie in peace until resurrected in the Kingdom of Right-To-Work.

bring back Ho Hos, Sno-Balls and Wonder Bread I figure the last time I ate one of those things was about the time the Carpenters ruled the pop charts, "Patton" and "MASH" ruled at the box office, Iran was our ally, Taipei held China's seat in the UN, and SALT I was being negotiated.

Reportedly the Mexican name (pronounced beam-boh) was coined with no reference to the English slang.

Mexican private equity will buy the machinery that still has some use. The bankruptcy judge will direct the sale of the buildings and land ~ and in this market they may get $1000 or so.
This piece of property is remarkably like the steel company Bain Capital wasted $70 million on ~ sure, it had a lot of stuff, and had $450,000,000 invested in it recently by the last owners BUT Bain wasn't a steel company, and that mill wasn't really a steel mill anymore ~ did one product ~ for a process no longer occurring ~
They may have made some money on it but they had $70 million tied up in it for quite some time.
Dick Gephart and his associates dumped $125 million in Hostess and it still went bust AGAIN.
Seriously, just buy the recipes. Plenty of other people cam make twinkies.
