Hostess closing down

Wonder Bread!

Aesop's fable about the goose that laid the golden egg comes to mind.

My father spent his career producing flexible packaging for the bakery industry, and did business with Hostess, including making the "Wonder Kids" bread bags.  This isn't the first time Hostess' workers  brought them down. There's even a case of employees sabotaging the plant after Hostess recovered from nearly going bankrupt.  They've been at the brink on multiple occasions.  I guess it's over.

Find Tastycakes. Buy them. Forget all about Hostess quickly, they are superior in every way. Except availabilty.
It sucks when companies go under like this though.

Haters gonna hate.

Google "US sugar tariff".  Companies/consumers in the US pay nearly twice the world market rate for sugar cane sugar because of the US sugar tariff.  In order to compete US companies are forced to use corn syrup or beet sugar.  This is the reason why many candy makers (Life Savers, Lemonheads, etc) have moved production to Canada.  Another reason why I despise the US farming lobbyists. 

They screwed up the creamy centers 30 years ago or more when they took sugar out and replaced it with some artificial synthetic crap.  Good riddance to fake crap.

Logic.  Sense.

Engaging, quoting, or any other type of politcal rhetoric will get you suspended from this board.  Three, so far.

If you cannot respect the forum posting rules, do not expect to get a twinkie for it.

Humor!?  Wit!?

18,500 Hostess employees lost their job today thanks to 600 hundred of them. Just think of the loss of Federal income. Income tax, Fuel tax, and propably 60+ taxes I'm unaware of. This is a sad day for America, we all lose!

If we just tax Skuzzy more, we can make up for it. This is not the Country I grew up in!

On a lighter note, Snowbird will be open Thanksgiving. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIfONBNBOho&feature=share&list=PLF7ECA7DF7154C405

Come on out to Utah....Blast through the POW and put your best Snowface on. WOOT!
