So unions are killing the twinkie. Makes me think of the movie Zombieland.

Oh goody. The company is severely in the red and the Union wants to strike.
Maybe Obama will bail them out?

More union extortion brings down another company.
When will this country ever learn?
Another reason THIS administration needs to be replaced in total.....the union army of purchased voters needs to be scattered.

There are a couple of national brands pastry companies that can easily fill the void after Hostess liquidates it’s brand
Clover hill and Freshleys bakery are just two that have national presence and the ability to fill market voids ....
Tasty Kakes is another regional brand that can fill the void
The teamsters are throwing away jobs and they know it...morons all

The cost to produce in Texas and transport to the Northeast is cost prohitive and pastry is date sensitive and would drive the cost up ....

Maybe GM should give away a free carton of Twinkies™ with every Volt it sells.

It’s time for Twinkie Power to die. Unions can take the credit for the death. Harvey Milk and the Twinkie Murder are witnesses. They served us well. We need now someone with whole grain, low carbs, hi fiber, eco friendly, green Earth Alfalfa Chips to make us all have more GAS than cows.

If my brother and I don’t get our occasional Hostess cupcakes, we might go postal!

We do not currently buy their products but if they throw the union out we will do our best to support them.
