You can still buy an unopened box of Twinkies for $1,500 on EBay

You have to understand the business side of this. The various elements of Hostess will continue on...but manufactured in mostly non-union states. There will be a period when the company is broken up, and pieces sold off. The name for each item is worth a fair amount of money....so manufacturing will start back up by spring of 2013 at ‘friendly’ locations. This whole element is about a business finding a better way to sell their product at a cheaper rate...nothing more than that. The union guys? They really didn’t grasp the game being played until it was too late.

Maybe Obama will rush in and give away another $6 trillion of our tax dollars to “save” the Hostess DingDong Union (how appropriate that is!)

Oh, I forgot. Michelle is against “junk food.”

Scratch that!

I cleand out a store of Twinkies and Ho Ho’s today. Woo Hoo - I’m rich now! lol

[Logical me]

King Obama is happy with the layoffs. More to collect freebies and become dedicated communists Democrats.

[SkyDancer]

And the union is blaming Romney and Bain for the demise, not their greed.

[Fledermaus]

They are liquidating everything so that could happen. Little Debbie (McKee Foods) can pick up the slack and they based here in TN.

[Nowhere Man]

I blame Moochele the first Wookie.

[SkyDancer]

I’ll never forgive the unions for destroying my Susie-Q’s .....

[entropy12]

Yeah...enjoy your riches....until those Twinkies start turning blue from mold haha. May be you should just eat your riches before too late?

Government takeover of Twinkies is coming soon, and there will be billions spent developing sugar free, fat free veggie fruit Twinkies produced in carbon free factories by union workers on Obamacare.

[Terry Mross]

Didn’t you hear? The WH has a petition up for the government to take over Hostess like it did GM. Nationalize cupcakes and twinks...uh, I mean twinkies.

[Fledermaus]

Hmmmm, can I freeze them?

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I thought Mrs. Freshley’s had bought out Little Debbie.

Given how unhealthy they are though, I wouldn't be surprised if the Obama administration bans them from being reintroduced. We know Bloomberg would do it.

Nationalize cupcakes and twinks

Bawney Fwank just signed that petition.

[Nita Nupress]

That’s what I’M wondering ... how long will they keep in the freezer?
