Cupcakes: Since this is also a generic word, one probably doesn't have to change the name. However, in case there is a problem, they could simply be sold as "White Housetess Cupcakes." This would have the advantage of reminding everyone of who saved this American institution.
Ding-Dongs: Simply delete the first word, and then market them as "Dongs." It will remind everyone of the Donkey party. (There is some danger of the product name reminding people of a certain part of the male anatomy, however, this may enhance sales. Memo - consult Sandra Fluke first. Also, this could be seen as unfair to women to have a product so closely association with things male, but see below).
Ho-Ho's: Do the same as with Ding-Dongs. The advantage is that the product, when marketed as "Ho's" or even "Hoes," will counteract and undo any unfairness perceived in a product called "Dongs." (Memo - consult Sandra Fluke on this as well).
Wonder Bread: Call it Plunder Bread. The advantage is that the name has meaning on several different levels, each of which could be used as focus groups dictate on different interest groups.
Twinkies: In honor of President Obama's Chicago power base, closest advisors, and political methodology these could be marketed as "Hinkies." With that name they may not sell quite as well in the Chicago area, but will be appreciated by the far greater number of potential consumers who have visited Chicago through the years and understand the meaning of this uniquely Chicagoan expression.
Fine, but we already have a full national capitol full of Ding Dongs and Twink(ie) lovers....
This is only the first of many companies he will be asked to nationalize. Incredible half our country is so dumb.
Finally we can focus on the important issues like the saving of the Twinkie and stop worrying about minor things like the total destruction of the American way of life.
Love it! hahahaha!
Wait a minute. It's not Twinkies--Barack Obama is the nation's sweet creamy center. FROWARD!!!!!
Hilarious.
KIll Twinkies forever, they promote murder ie Harvey Milk, San Francisco!
Government Twinkies. I bet they’ll taste just great.
Haven’t these people heard about Moochelle’s healthy eating campaign? Hostess snacks are the very foods she wants to ban. Heck, why do these people think Hostess is bankrupt, anyway?
Your plan is awesome.
Better than mine, which was to send the dismissed employees to law school and then let them become the new IRS agents to enforce Obamacare.
Hope you don’t mind, but I had to send to a few of my friends! I read this to my husband, and could not stop laughing through the whole thing. Man, I needed a good hearty laugh.
They don’t care that he didn’t lift a finger to save 4 Americans but cupcakes are a different story.
Like Rush said today, “Al Qaeda is alive, Twinkies are dead”. LOL! Good stuff! Thanks Barry!
Are these people for real? They want to petition the WH, have they not heard of Michell’e food campaign? If it were up to her, twinkies and ding dongs would probably have been banned from grocery store shelves a long time ago.
Twinkies - too big to fail.
Barney Frank was about to sign until he saw that it said “Twinkies”, not “Twinks.”
That means no more Ring-Dings, Yodels, and Devil Dogs, too.
