The end of an era. Sadly, we will have to look for a replacement in our lives.

I’m stocking up now...imagine the street/barter value of Hostess Twinkies, Snowballs and cupcakes when TSHTF.

I believe a large bakery, or several such large bakeries operating currently within a few hundred feet over our Southernmost border are smiling today as they see themselves as the new owners of certain Hostess trademarks, and copyrights, and begin shipping into the U.S..

A major bakery left California with good reason (CARB Regulations) a few years ago providing the Mexican bakery Bimbo the opportunity to expand their operation, and fill the void from just over the border in Mexico. Seems to me the same will happen to fill the void when Hostess assumes the dead Cockroach position.

(Hmmmm bad analogy, but...)

Twilight of the Twinkies.

The Twinkie will live on. The union workers will live on unemployment. I hope that the new company, whoever they will be, hires those who crossed the picket line.
