Not that I personally drew conclusions(put blame on) anyone here, because the information has still had too many holes. But that is perhaps as biased of an article on the matter, as I have had anyone(that I actually discuss matters with) cite about the Hostess solvency. I love the cherry picked details and comparisons. I think it's completely fair to criticize a business for unearned executive pay increases, but it's silly to state such, as a root cause.

You know that there's some motherfucker out there that invested in a bomb shelter 30 years ago and decided to stockpile Twinkies. Think about this:
Man and his wife sit at the dinner table. Wife brings up the fact that times have been tough and worried that there are some hard times ahead.
Man: Hey honey, remember when I bought all those Twinkies and put them in the bomb shelter?
Woman: Yeah
Man: I can get $10 a box on the streets for that shit now.
It'll be like Scarface with confectioners' sugar and angelfood cake.

Twinkies, contrary to popular belief, don't really last long.
Some of the ingredients still do spoil, and after the expiration, you'll notice the ingredients that don't spoil so quick, help mask the bad taste and smell of the spoiled ingredients(although people get sick doing the "twinkie test" pretty often, and some people are just at a "shoenice" level of resilience to anything they throw into their gut.)

I tried the Twinkie test once. It looked good enough to eat for about 6 months, but then it started to shrink and get really greasy. I gave it a few more months before I pitched it, but it never got moldy.
There's some evil stuff going on in those things.

I put this the other day on FB.. Its a mix of three things.. some of which have been cited on here..
Cheaper competition for over a decade.
Shitty business practices. Big Wigs taking massive raises that they obviously don't deserve.
Rising labor costs.. Which lets be real here.. If I'm a worker and I see the big wigs getting stuffed up.. I don't see why I shouldn't get a bit more too.. We're all on the same team right?
So to those three things.. Have done in Hostess.

And FYI, Little Debbie's Swiss Cake Rolls are way better than Ho Hos IMO.

Twinkies are poison just look at the ingredients, they don't make them like they used to.

Put the Hostess shelving away today. Notice I said away and not thrown out.
The woman who was helping asked why we weren't throwing it out :facepalm:
Also people are wondering where Pantry Pride is...that was Interstate bakeries.
Feel bad for the two vendors who served Fareway who lost their jobs over greed.

Somehow a friend of mine happened to be at a Wal-Mart when they brought out an entire palette of Hostess stuff. He said people were on it like flies on shit. He managed to snag a few boxes of Twinkies and cupcakes.
I'm curious where they were hiding the stuff.
