Hostess Brands filing for bankruptcy

They aren't going anywhere. This is the result of too much debt from private equity deals and unfavorable labor agreements and pension liabilities. I'm sure they make money on an operating basis.

bimbo foods will more than likely buy the hostess rights and keep on selling the twinkies

Why does everyone hate delicious junk food?

Because they're skinny nerds dreaming about dusting off Margaret Thatcher's pussy!

Fuuuck how am I gonna get diabetes now?

 

[darkxshade]

I'm surprised Hostess isn't owned by some ginormous food conglomerate?

 

[Fayd]

Frozen Little Debbie swiss cake rolls ftmfw.

If you want to barf, try Walmart's brand snack cakes. I've never tasted anything that tasted quite so... synthetic.

Walmart brand food synthetic? No say it ain't so! Who would'a thunk it?

Bwahaha, first thing I thought of.

Does Hostess still make chips? They used to make awesome chips, but I don't see them around anymore. Could not care less about any of the pastry crap.

I think those fast food, instant, pastries are more an American thing. When I worked in 7-11 they never sold all that well.

The way I see it, I really should only have so much food that's "bad' for me. So why waste that on junk bad food. I'd much rather eat real "bad" food instead of nasty "bad" food. So good riddance. Though without reading the article, I'd imagine the Hostess is still going to sell food during and after the bankruptcy.

Yeah, they look disgusting. I don't think I've ever tried one of those things.

The only thing worse than Hostess is Little Debbie. TastyKake, or GTFO.

This. I guess one bankruptcy in 2004 wasn't enough for Hostess.

I LOVE Tastykakes, but those PB Kandy Kakes...yuck.

I love ATOT. "Something that's really popular actually sucks, and the obscure brand that I like and no one else has ever heard of is far superior!"

My favorite childhood memory is a snack with a cold twinky and glass of milk. I'll need to get me a box after work today for old times sake.

 

[manimal]

I was a BIG fan of twinkies as a child.


I had moved to the states when I was 7 so you can imagine my enthusiasm for Twinkies and hohos. Stuff was like crack.

Llittle Debbie isn't obscure and kick's Tastykake's ass six ways to Sunday*




*except the pancake (re: maple) krimpets that are no longer being made

 

[Minerva]

Hungry yet? :awe:

Hungry yet? :awe:

Those don't actually look good to me.

I love ATOT. "Something that's really popular means no one else can say it's overrated or have a different opinion!"

Hungry yet? :awe:

The krimpets aren't bad. I'm a bigger fan of the cakes and pies. Chocolate lovers Jr, black & white and cheesecake pies, om nom nom. I always looked forward to limited batches. I don't get Tastykake this far north I always grab some when I journey to PA.

As long as I can still get these I'm okay.

 

[KLin]

mmm processed sugar.

 

[Locut0s]

Here's the thing I don't get about most of these pastries. No flavour. It's all fluffy tasteless angel food cake type stuff with heavy cream, not much else.
