” “We do not expect to be involved in the union going forward,” Mr. Metropoulos said in an interview Wednesday. “

I think that line will be quoted back to you in a year or so.

Stupid, greedy union workers drove the cost of labor so high they lost their jobs. No worry. The Marxist community organizer/messiah will save them.

It sounds like the only Twinkies in their bakeries are going to be the ones wrapped in cellophane.

There you go. You got what you wanted, unions. You shut the company down.

The new company isn't interested in dealing with your fractious arses.

You'll need to find new jobs.

Thanks for playing.

This is my Twinkie, and
This is my surly union hire.
One is for eating,
The other I fire.

And don’t let the door hitcha
Where the good Lord splitcha,
You #*!e*f%@!?*%!

When the new Twinkies hit the shelves, I’m buying two dozen just to poke a finger in the ‘unioneyes’.

I’m a cupcake man myself, but I’ve never turned down a scrumptious golden creme-filled twinkster. They will taste even better knowing they’re made by bakers who work for a living.
Snowballs: white or pink. The debate rages on ....

Pink of course, and always with a hot cup of tea, milk and sugar added.

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. These guys were the inspiration for the Brothers Tsarnaev.

I think I just got diabetes from reading this thread. It makes my teeth hurt, and I'm not even sure where they are. ;)

Forget the twinkies, I want the hostess chocolate cupcakes, with the creme filling inside. LOL.

LOL. Sometime what goes around comes around. Schadenfreude.

Ever notice that occasionally you would break one of those chocolatey babies open—and she’s just *loaded* with creme?
Mmmmmmm.

AFAIK the twinkies baked in Canada (supply was never disrupted here) are made with real sugar. Cane sugar is pretty cheap here; the US gov’t imposes ridiculous tariffs and quotas on it.
