I hope not.
As others have said, I can't see these brands going away even for a day. Hell, who knows? The union may straighten out and accept the new terms.

What is the legal reason the company can't shitcan the union workers and hire them or anyone else as non-union under a bk then re-org? Anyone?

There is probably language in the contract(s) that says anyone who buys it accepts the terms and conditions of the contract(s).

This is a sad tale of unmet desire. Upon learning of, then contemplating upon, this sad news, I came to realize a great truth; I am not prepared to never again eat of the Twinkie cake for the rest of my life.

Therefore, I went to the grocery last night. As luck would have it, they were running a "buy 1, get 1" special on Twinkie cakes. Needless to say, they were sold out and so was the quick market I stopped in on the way home.

This is not looking good.

The main reason Hostess failed was a decade of shitty management. Period. The strike is a convenient scapegoat.

Poorly managed businesses SHOULD fail. That's how our economy is supposed to work.

I mistakenly blamed the union and the workers.

I didn't realize they had so many issues.

A 10lb Twinkie?

Okay, but do they have to take the Twinkie cakes with them?

It'll be okay, Mr. FAX. Another company will buy the Twinkie name and recipe. :)

Good to hear, Mr. Dave. Real good.

You know, the Twinkie cake has been around since the year after the Buffalo Bisons set the record for most games without a lead (until we did it, of course). That's a long time and an America without the Twinkie cake just wouldn't be the same.

The funny thing is, though ... I don't really eat a lot of Twinkie cakes. In fact, I don't think I've had one for probably 10 years or more. But, when I learned that I was going cold Twinkie not out of choice, but out of necessity, I wanted a Twinkie cake pretty darn bad.

They say that there's a company in Canada that makes Twinkie cakes, so maybe they can start selling on e-bay, or something.
