Someone will buy the brands and recipes and continue to make them.

My first thought... sounds like something Warren Buffet might buy out cheap and bring back to life.

Were they not doing well? Is 'Merica finally turning a new leaf?

No apparently they hadn't been doing well for a while and over the last week the workers went on strike because of pay cuts and loss of pension so the company decided to liquidate the various lines to other companies. Someone will buy the recipes and re-release them.

If I were them I would wait to see how sales of the snacks do in Colorado and Washington State. With the legalization of marijuana I can see sales rising in those states.

Gurantee that's true. but honesty think when was the last time you actually had a hostess product.

If they made Gluten free... I'd probably eat some occasionally //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Used to like the cup-cakes and twinkies.

I liked twinkies when I was in elementary school. I moved on a long time ago.
