So yeah, Hostess is out of business. Say goodbye to those cupcakes, ding-dongs, and the infamous twinkie. Thinking about it, the thing that may upset me the most about it, is that a few years from now, when the younger generation watches Ghostbusters (assuming they haven't bastardized it with a crappy remake), the 'big twinkie' line will be just another outdated reference in an old movie, rather than being timeless.
Actually, the reason I have such an interest in this story is that my close friend's father has worked for Hostess for 30 years at their Ogden plant, but now all that seems to be going down the tubes.
Oh, and as a side note, after doing some research, found out the leader of the union for Hostess workers is one of the executives of Sarah Lee (or was it Little Debbie?). Yeah, that's not criminally shady at all. Looks like putting Hostess out of business and throwing the members of his own union under the bus was his plan all along. Twinkies. They'll survive a nuclear holocaust, but not the 'progressive' socialistic march of union thugs.
