Time to stockpile Twinkies?

[Jammer]

When you got the Big Daddy union (Teamsters) looking at the books and they tell their members that Hostess isn't bluffing, then the little brother union should listen.

[Passepartout]

Really everybody is buying up Twinkies and fast. As think that another company could buy them up. Hostess is going out. But somewhere and somehow, some company will get Twinkies somehow, somewhere.
Twinkies just had an addiction to them a few days ago. They can't die so soon!

I highly doubt that the winner of that auction has any plans to actually pay that amount. People just get wrapped up in the frenzy and try to do things which will get attention.

Well played Mayans. Well played.

Believe it or not, the Hostess line is still licensed to be made in Canada. You'll be able to come up and smuggle this crap back home. I'm looking to establish "junk-food tourism" in the months to come. A chain of spas dedicated to clogging your arteries will be waiting for eager gluttons.
BTW, I'm one of those guys who hasn't eaten a Twinkie in 35 years.

Ha ha, go for it

I also have not had a Twinkie in decades. But I must say, just last night I stopped in a 7-11 for milk & beer (yes, seriously lol), and spur of the moment remembered the Great Snack Apocalypse going on, so briefly peered at the snacks aisle. All Twinkies long gone, but there were a lot of other Hostess snacks. I ignored them

(thinking I should go back and hoard them and now put them on eBay lol)

They have to say that legally, but we all know that it is much longer in reality.

Twinkie Lifeline! Hostess, Bakers' Union Head to Mediation

Irving-based Hostell Brands Inc. and its second largest union will go into mediation to try and resolve their differences, meaning the company won't go out of business just yet. The news came Monday after Hostess moved to liquidate and sell off its assets in bankruptcy court citing a crippling strike last week.

The bankruptcy judge hearing the case said Monday that the parties haven't gone through the critical step of mediation and asked the lawyer for the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union, which has been on strike since Nov. 9, to ask his client, who wasn't present, if the union would agree to participate. The judge noted that the bakery union, which represents about 30 percent of Hostess workers, went on strike after rejecting the company's latest contract offer, even though it never filed an objection to it.

[View Full Quote]"Many people, myself included, have serious questions as to the logic behind this strike," said Judge Robert Drain, who heard the case in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York in White Plains, N.Y. "Not to have gone through that step leaves a huge question mark in this case."

Even if Hostess goes out of business, its popular brands will likely find a second life after being snapped up by buyers. The company says several potential buyers have expressed interest in the brands. Although Hostess' sales have been declining in recent years, the company still does about $2.5 billion in business each year. Twinkies alone brought in $68 million so far this year.

I don't think it's a coincidence Hostess and Andy Reid are collapsing at the same time.
