Twinkies Raised from The Dead.

Actually, the Hedge funds sucked the life out of that brand like the cream filling out of spongy body, leaving only an unappetizing husk.

A few more years of these vultures, Twinkies will probably be all the American worker can afford.
Oh, come on, JoeB131. You lefties got Hollyweird in yer pockets. Make them put the smooch on the Hostess people to fortify twinkies with antioxidants and vitamins. Use your charm and personality and natty clothing to convince the beautiful people to promise nice promos for Hostess for this little favor. I'm counting on you!

Pretty please?

I think you miss the point. Here, let me draw you a picture.

So we all get to work for less so the 1% can have more? You really think this is good for anyone?


$180M in accrued Workers' Compensation Liabilities is for the 1%?

Hostess had been bailed out with debt ($850M)...and still couldn't be turned around due to excessive union comp and bennies. The workers screwed themselves.
 
Twinkies are going to be frozen now to extend their shelf life.

So, that technically does not make them Risen From The Dead...it makes them cryogenically preserved.
Yebbut will they be shipped from China or Made in the USA (TM)?



They could be the latter if the unions don't strangle the company.

I always have to ask, why is it when you guys say, "Don't you want jobs", it's never the wealthy who have to do with a few less Dressage Horsies.

Nope. It's the working guy who has to accept less wages and benefits and pensions.
I hate to burst your bubble, Joe. I'm a seamstress who in retirement, sews only for charity bees, and I'm learning to live on a fixed income after working my butt off for next to nothing for 23 years, doing 80 hour weeks and barely paying the rent and utilities for a marginal business. :lol:

Exactly my point. Why should that be the case?

You see, here's the thing, instead of directing your anger at the people who were obviously abusing your labor, you are angry at the guys who managed to be in a union and got themselves a fair deal.

It's kind of like an arsonist burns down your house, and instead of wanting him arrested, you want them to burn down your neighbor's house, too.
I'm angry at the Union because when I worked for a company in which they dictated policy, at my first meeting, the idiot boss told us office girls to ignore the "no higher than 4 inches above the knee" rule for miniskirts. He wanted them at the highest area of the thigh before it turned into a butt. I went home and threw up because that was against my principles. He wanted to break up some management marriages using us young office women as the home wreckers. I never went to another union meeting after that and married the single-man company engineer before they had another union meeting. Management said only one of us could continue to work at the company after we were married. And that ended my miserable union job. :D

They did it to themselves, Joe. I didn't engage in their amoral bordering on criminal plans. Not to worry. My replacement broke up my old boss's marriage as they required, and his wife had to explain to their teenage children why Daddy left with the office gal. :evil:

You'll have to pardon me, but I'm a little confused by this narrative.

The union steward dictated this or the boss dictated this?

Here's my non-union narrative. I was with the company when it started. Worked 60 hours weeks. Worked from home. Developed programs and procedures they are using to this very day.

Then I required an operation to fix my leg after I slipped on some ice while on my way to work. I was told that not only did I have to wait until after a computer migration before I could get surgery to get this fixed, but after it was all over, I would be put into a job that would eventually vanish. Oh, but a gal they hired a month before was going to be kept.

When I pointed out this was not only unfair but slightly retarded. hIs response. "Well, good thing I don't have to deal with a union."

This guy eventually took a job with a vendor I recruited and developed before they fired his ass for incompetence. Unfortunately, not before 80% of us lost our jobs due to his bad decisions.

One of these days the "American worker" will wise up and start making a living for himself. Until then, I expect more whining and neo-Marxist pablum from the left.
 
And were not talking about Anthony Wiener..

I don't know, it's just funny to me...

Twinkies will soon be making a triumphant return to store shelves, according to Hostess' website.

The company, which went bankrupt in 2012 and is under new management, is touting the return on July 15 as "the sweetest comeback in the history of ever."

Hostess is now owned by the private equity firms Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co.

"America wanted Hostess back -- they wanted the original. Very soon consumers will once again be able to enjoy Twinkies, CupCakes and other great Hostess snack cakes. A comeback by any other name could never be as sweet," Daren Metropoulos, principal of Metropoulos & Co., said in a statement to ABC News.

Fans were devastated when Hostess was forced to close its doors and shut down its Twinkie production last year.

According to The Associated Press, stores sold out of the golden cakes hours after Hostess announced it would no longer be making the creme-filled snacks.

Fans also took to Facebook, creating pages called "R.I.P. Twinkies" and "Save the Twinkies."


Twinkies Set to Make Sweetest Comeback - ABC News

God bless America and the Twinkie.:clap2:
 
Enthusiastically waiting for the chemically preserved deliciousness to hit store shelves. They better taste the same.
Well, you and Joe can team up and make 'em make them taste even better than before.

Why if you added a Raspberry antioxidant, it has not only a calming effect on ladies, it also turns on calorie burners in the body chemically. I was just reading the other day in one of my scientific nutritional journals about antioxidants and vitamins in ordinary fruit.

Yom! Raspberry Twinkies that slim ya down! Who'd a thunk it?

I already eat a ton of fruit and vegies. I only have Twinkies as a treat about 2 or 3 times a year so I don't want a Twinkie that's good for me. Have you been hanging out with Bloomberg lately? lol
 
These are way better. Fresher too

TastyKake is much better than hostess cakes ever thought about being

GoodBye forever Hostess

still an Imposter. Fresher! Impossible! Twinkies are so chemically preserved that they can sit on a shelf for three months past their expiration date before turning green. Even then they are still soft and spongy,and certainly not stale.

No... The unsustainable Union demands killed the Twinkie.
 
I can see it now...Obama taking full credit for the resurrection of the Twinkie..
