Hostess closing down

[flight17]

Twinkies are all sold out in every store around here.   Welcome to Zombieland

Same here, went to two stores and nothing at all. Can't find a good hoho anywhere around here.

What I really don't get though is why they are recalling all shipments in transit back to the suppliers. You are already liquidating, get the last few pennies out of the product you already have instead of just putting it in the garbage.

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!

You failed to mention the 80% raise the corp gave themselves and the massive mismanagement that got Hostess into bankruptcy. BTW, the CEO gets a BONUS because they are folding.
There is plenty of blame to spread around and it's not all on the union.

I take the blame for the company going bankrupt.  I forced my gf to stop buying Twinkies 10 years ago as we both decided to lose some weight.  we are heavier now but we still wont eat Twinkies.

Weird the things you find you miss. Don't miss mny family down there but the lack of krimpets in my area is crushing. You can get scrapple most anywhere around here now though. But tatstycakes come anmd go like the northern lights.

The Hostess store just down the street from my house isn't totally empty yet. I might head down there and grab one last box of Twinkies and possibly the last remaining box of HoHo's in Wisconsin.

Hurry!  My town plus all the surrounding ones are all sold out.  Wanted to grab my kids some, but I waited to long.
