No More Twinkies??!

Posted by 3Amanda on November 16, 2012 at 10:29am in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

The Hostess company closing for GOOD! The company filed bankrupcy and it's operations are finally done. The company went from icon to bust. Their company went bankrupt when they raised salaries and then cut salaries. A letter that Hostess sent to its network of stores that carry its product said it expects "there will be great interest in our brands." But it said it could not give a time frame for when the sales would take place and its products would be available again. I think this a horrible thing, I mean I like twinkies, but to many is to much. What do you think about this? Twinkies No More

Oh my gosh this sucks! I love Twinkies and pretty much every other food made by hostess. It kinda confuses me how the company managed to go bankrupt. I always thought they sold a lot of products. But I dont think that we will have to live without Twinkies forever, because they are so popular I'm sue some other company will buy the name from hostess and manufacture them.

I hate this because twinkies are the best especially when they are fried. I don't get how they could go bankrupt they sold so many donuts and twinkies that I thought that they would never go out of business.

This really sucks that they went bankrupt, i never really thought a company of that size could with all their sales. i also heard that their company is moving to mexico but i dont know if thats true or not. im not really a hostess fan, i dont really eat any of their products so this doesnt really affect me.

I heard about this! It is crazy to think of no more twinkies. My mom was telling me this story about how after school her and her best friend would go home and eat twinkies. I think it is horrible as well, i mean almost everyone I know likes twinkies!!

Twinkies are not my favorites, but some of the other snacks they make are not to bad. It's to bad that they are closing for good. I don't think anyone would be able to replace that company or their snacks.

Hostess food is good but maybe this will help cut down on Americas obesity. I like HO-HOs the best though there so good.
