yes but the cream in a twinkie will help you survive a nuclear holocaust

I hope Gates has a plan for their sandwiches and landing pads for their ribs.

My Dad had a Wonder Bread/Hostess Twinkies route for 20 years. Noone should spend their life working that hard. Thats what I knew growing up. We gave out Twinkies on Halloween. We were the most popular house. Go figure.
I know it's fashionable to bash working people these days but, from what I read, its the leadership that ran it out of business, not the unions.

But that doesn't mean that union workers deserve more money than the company can afford? That's the beauty of the freemarket system. Those workers could have tried to find another job. And if that's the best they could get, then they should take what they could get from DM. |

I had a fried Twinkie at Ribfest last weekend. It was damn good. Worth the 10 lbs that I gained.

Anyone exclusively blaming the unions and ignoring 10 years of piss poor management at the top is beyond help.
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. |

Went to the grocery store this morning. The only Hostess products left were some chocolate mini-donuts and half a dozen loaves of Wonder Bread.
