Economists say high sugar prices tied to US trade tariffs were a big reason Hostess was struggling, but a Mexican company could be a lifeline for Twinkies because it would be able to take advantage of access to lower-priced sugar in Mexico.As well as lower paid non-union workers!

If Grupo Bimbo pulls off a deal with Hostess for Twinkies, his next challenge will be resurrecting an American favorite. Bimbo? I know the perfect spokesperson!

NAFTA has worked out so well, hasn’t it? We can thank all of the Republicans and especially Dems back in the 90’s who stuffed it down our throats.
All of the Hostess brands will be sold to others and still made- us fat Americans can still have our Twinkies and glazed fruit pies ( they are my guilty food pleasure).

they saw Hostess as a key ingredient for North American expansion with delivery routes that penetrated across the country into convenience stores, gas stations and grocery marketsSo they could efficiently human traffic low-wage illegal aliens into the country to help stock the Twinkie shelves. How convenient.

"
Will Twinkies be reborn through new Mexican ownership?" What's the difference? Mexicans already conquered America, with Obama as their willing and happy leader.
Are there still people out there that actually believe that America still exists? No borders, multi cultured, a government that supports several languages, Christianity decimated, American traditions dumped into what people believe are ancient history bins, and a lawless nation with lawless leaders ignoring the document that once held America together like glue, the Constitution, no longer anythinng but a museum piece. America is gone, dead and gone. The last generation of Americans, the WWII generation would NEVER have allowed all of the above to happen. But as they die off America dies with them. It will have to be rebuilt from scratch someday, if possible.
But as for right now, a lawless, rudderless, selfish gaggle of people from multiple cultures, some of them barbaric neanderthals, moslems, atheiests, earth worshippers, sexual deviates, devil worshippers, and various other fools who are being catered to by a lawless, visionless government, is all we are anymore. I am grateful to have at least seen America, as a boy, when America was still America. What you see today is God's lifting of His blessings as a chastisement for the cruel, wanton slaughter of 52 million human beings, all created in His image and likeness. America, rest in peace; but may it rise again one day with and through the return of CHRISTIANITY, with faith in action, reverencing "the Creator", the ONE responsible for all of our human, natural rights laid out the Declaration of Independence.

Who actually eats Twinkies?
It’s one of those many iconic or well-known products I’ve never seen or heard of anyone eating or liking.
Such as Dr. Pepper.

No offense intended; but Mexican breads and sweets are way to dry. They ruined Mrs. Baird’s bread.

Mexico plans on making a habanero Twinkie. After the first bite you won’t worry about the price of sugar.
