Hostess closing down

[Meatwad]

Hostess store here will close for the last time on 11/19.

Major suckage. On two days a week you can get a whole grocery sack of almost expired goodies for a dollar.

I work at a place that specializes in that, there are grocery outlets that dot the country. You might want to look for one.

The brand is too valuable.   Someone will buy them and restart production, imho.

Fox reported this morning that mexican bakery giant (Grupo Bimbo), the largest bakery conglomerate in the US (how ironic) is looking at buying the bankrupt company (they tried a takeover in 2007 during the last Hostess bankrupcy).  So the brand will probably be saved.  On a light note, the Twinkie may be replaced by a sugar filled tortilla and rebranded as the 'Tweenkie'.

Little Debbie makes Cloud Cakes, looks just like Twinkies.  Think I'd go that route before buying a Mexican product.

Bimbo bought Mrs. Baird's (huge Texas bakery) several years ago. It was just so wrong that kindly old Grandma Martha Baird was replaced by a Bimbo.

One of my favorite childhood memories of Dallas was the fresh baked bread smells wafting through the air.

Dad told me stories about Vernon Baird, who was quite a character.  Once they were at a party together, and Vernon was in costume as a Confederate officer.  He says to my Dad (who was from Long Island) "Where's your costume?"  Dad says "Sir, I left my Union blues at home!"  LOL

When Baird sold, I asked "How can Bimbo deliver fresh bread from Mexico?"  Bread is actually frozen and thaws in the trucks on the way to stores.  Bet you didn't know.

Are you happy! 

It's time for re-education, Our school systems have let us down.

I think competition will provide us with best available results at the lowest costs.

I might be just dreaming, Capitalism works!

Anyone looking at Craigslist and eBay for twinkies. I've heard 250$ for two boxes and 400$ for 3 boxes on Craigslist...

I struggle to know the fine line. I am pretty sure what is going to get me banned. What is safe?

Is it ok to point out that, from an economic point of view these 'labor nirvanas' have been attempted. It was called the Soviet Union, East Germany, etc. The end result was the same...economic destruction, lowered standards of living, collapse.

FA Hayek wrote a book that ultimately earned him the Nobel Prize in Economics: The Road to Serfdom. Truth!
