Jeez, I should have started my own export business. They’re in every supermarket here.

Well, I try to eat healthy, but I make an exception for those cupcakes. LOL

Given that I’m an old fart (aroma challenged due to aging), I tried a few twinkies a few years ago and found them lacking compared to my memories of eating same ~40 years B4.

How will unions discipline their own when a member is caught with contraband cupcakes? Detox?
To: grundle
And the Union members will join Obama’s unemployment army.

I quit eating Twinkies years ago, but I did manage to secure 6 individual wrapped ones before the shutdown as a hedge against inflation. My wife threw them away yesterday.

So I suppose the union goons are going to stick razor blades into Hostess Brands on the shelves at Wal*Mart. We are dealing with organized criminals here. ...and watch Eric Holder run interference for the union.

The Metropoulos family has turned many companies around.
They have become billionaires as a result of their hard work.
They will have great success with Hostess.

I think that line will be quoted back to you in a year or so. Good point, the union will not just throw in the towel. They will work diligently (with federal support) to unionize again through hook or crook. Hopefully Hostess will be very selective in whom they rehire.

Forget the twinkies, I want the hostess chocolate cupcakes, with the creme filling inside. LOL.
I have to agree though I’ve been trying to stay away from ‘em for awhile...

"We are dealing with organized criminals here."
You are completely correct. This will not go well for the new owners. O-Hole and chicago gang will see to that.

I’m glad I saved my Twinkies cookbook with wonderful recipes for goodies made with Twinkies. Yum, yum, yum....

Just don’t let Obama come use your plants and jobs as a crutch to use to show how “the economy is good and getting better”. You’ll be out of business in a year. He is the anti-Midas...everything he touches turns to Obama.
