I read today that someone has purchased the Twinkie brand. Is this true. Is the Twinkie here to stay?

If so, hope they can find someone other than the union bosses to staff the place..

I'm sure that such a wholesome, nutritious food-like object is here to stay, whether we like it or not. The bankruptcy judge held up the sell- off today and ordered mediation so that Hostess and the union could try to settle their differences. Hopefully they will then find competent management who have some clue about changing tastes, because at the moment the company has no future as it is.

I had my last Twinkie about 35 years ago. I have empathy for the workers, but not the products or decision makers.

Man, now I want to bake homemade twinkies.

Gotta think up how to do it. Probably look it up on the internets.

Yes, that was my thought too. That would mean alot of people out of jobs.

I know a lady who has a recipe to deep fry them too, claims they're delicious. Not the skinniest lady around here either.....

I heard that some Mexican Billionaire was buying the company.

A big mexican owned company was looking at part of it. but as mentioned above a court has asked them to go back into remediation. It's hard for me to have empathy for the workers when ive watched them on tv saying they would rather have the company go under then to make a deal. maybe now that it actually happened the union will be more willing to work out a deal.
