Hostess joins John Galt and Tman 67 at the mountain retreat

[AZGrizFan]

In honor of the demise of the Twinkie, I may get a pack before I hit the road this afternoon...

Wow…a coherent and civilized thread with D1B? That Mayan calendar thing might not be so far fetched after all…

Don't forget: Fun.

EDIT: Nevermind, posted just a wee too late.

My dissertation defense is the 21st... I should have scheduled it for the 22nd. It would be a shame to have my balls busted and then die moments later.

Yes, that was piss poor planning on your part. All that work could have been for naught!

BTW, congrats!

No Suzy Qs?

Not a fan of twinkies, but on a recent food show some southern roadside joint was deep frying them - looked intriguing.

As long as the company isn't doing well enough to afford good lobbyists, this stuff is likely doomed at the hands of the donk health food nazis, anyway. It's nutritionally incorrect.

Donk health food Nazis will eventually save our nation billions in healthcare costs and our environment.
Conks = Caveman idiots incapable of thinking beyond their own short-sighted greed.

Was making light, but never happen. They'd have to legislate total caloric intake and regular exercise.

Conks may actually have the edge here, if corporations look to save health insurance $$$ by increasing motivation to healthy life styles in their employees. Question is, how far can they push that?

Good point. Both will be very helpful.

Corps and conks don't have much influence in the schools and with young children. Donk nutrutional enlightenment will get them started on the right track in the all-important early stages of development.

God bless Michelle Obama and donks.

It's worked well so far.

Talking primarily bout school lunch programs. When the Haliburton contract to supply school meals has expired, enlightened donks will ensure our kids are eating healthy.

Make sure your kids get their 5 daily servings of fruit & ketchups, Hen.

It's a tough world out there. Surely someone somewhere can make Twinkies a heckuva lot cheaper than it takes to make Twinkies at that plant. And Twinkies last forever so long lead times and lengthy shipping channels don't matter with that stuff. Oh, and people stopped buying Twinkies too so demand is obviously way down (except for apparently hefty UNI grads). Just the reality of the world we live in - you can't pay people lots of money to do unskilled work to make a product that nobody wants.

Good points. Somewhere in the article, management is blamed for the company's woes and I think they have a point. Hostess is making the same **** they were making when we were kids. There's been no product innovation or decent advertising/promotion.

Meanwhile, Little Debbies is kicking their ass with a changing product mix to compliment their mainstays, great product placement and affordable pricing. Seems they market their baked goods as if they were candy, which is smart cuz that's all that crap is.

Someone, progressive, can turn Hostess into a winner.

There's no need to FVCK with a Twinkie.

I will miss the special relationship I had with my chocolate pleasure.

[CAA Flagship]

......and I will miss the caucasian cousin too.

[Gil Dobie]

Here you go, last shipment of Twinkies up on ebay.

Twinkies motherload

[MSUDuo]

Twinkies aren't going anywhere, at least in the long run.

Hostess is putting their rights up for auction. Someone will scoop up the rights to the Twinkies and keep selling them.

I hated them anyways so I don't care if they're around or not

I think you hit on the one hope.
Grown ups talk a good game about wanting to be healthy - but try to find a real constituency for nutritional change.

Just when sales were set to skyrocket in Washington and Colorado.

Why do I think that Flag has an "American Pie" type relationship with his chocolate pleasures?

I went on a search and destroy mission tonight. I searched high and low for any Hostess product I could find...then I destroyed them.
