Can it really be the end of the twinkie?
Looks like the unions are ready to kill another (not so savoury) icon from US history! Yes, that's right...The Hostess Twinkie. You better go get your fix on 'cause it looks like the end!

Déjà vu of the movie Zombieland?
If this really happens, people won't be able to make things like this...
Or this?????
They won't. The argument against twinkies themself is incredibly idiotic. As for the strike, the ones participating in it are fools, as the article states the company will go out of business if the strike continues, thus the workers will lose their jobs is such a thing happens. 2

Those bastards. I remember when I was introduced to twinkies. It was actually on this site, on some archaic debate of mine. You kill the twinkie, then you're killing a young boy's memories. Memories of a product he's never seen, tasted or smelt. You evil sacks of shit. 1

Hostess has stagnated, with no new products, and is loosing its market share. This results in reduced profits as costs rise, dropping profit margin below sustainability. Hostess must reduce manufacturing costs to stay in business as product pricing must remain competitive. The answer is to introduce a new product to excite sales, reduce operating costs, or improve productivity. The strike has helped Hostess make its decision on what must be done. Look for a "White Knight" who will buy the brand name, fix the productivity problem, and sell the package for a profit. No, this isnt the end for a couple of reasons. 1. There are always going to be off-brands 2. Hostess, was bidding off thier company, so the highest bidder gets the company and thier rights. It may live on. and 3. It doesnt matter the world is ending 12/21/12 11:11 PM Side note: I hate twinkies, they are disgusting. 1
