The world just got a health upgrade from being next to the shitter to just forward of the engine (on an MD-80) I suppose.

Thats what I was thinking...seems like some other company would want to step in and buy it up and try to fix it...

One would think that the name would be a sell able commodity.

I think they picked up another dog food plant, but that town has to be hurting.

I just started reading this thread and saw this and decided to comment on this.

I worked for IBC-Wonder-Hostess for 3 1/2 years.

Dolly Madison management manage that company to extinction, and went they went out business, thsy sold off some of their operation and product labels to IBC.

IBC, in their infinite wisdom, decided to bring those same dumbasses that managed Dolly Madison into extinction into the business and let them run the bakery and distribution operations.

As a vacation relief driver, I was moved from depot to depot to fill in where needed.

I worked in several locations from LA to Bakersfield and every place in between.

The bakery overbaked so much product that each depot would have in the neighborhood of a hundred grand of product at the end of the week, every week, that never left the depot.

Dumbasses in charge are telling you that it's because of the workers and strikes, but the reality is the dumbasses in charge are responsible for the end of business.

We get it. You eat healthy. Do you think anyone doesn't understand that an apple is better for you?

Your sanctimonious patronizing bullshit is ****ing tired.

I hope the prick dies of a heart attack while jogging and gets hauled off to the morgue by four fat guys that smoke.

I was thinking the mexican company bimbo would buy the brand and we get bimbo twinkies

I for one hadn't realized until just this moment that an apple was healthier for you than a Twinkie. My whole world is turned upside down.

They went through 3 prior bankruptcies and the bakers going on strike for a week is what did them in? I think that's just a little bit hard to believe. And if that is the case, what was going on that a week of not shipping product was enough to totally topple the company?
