    I doubt Twinkies are gone for good. I bet some other snack company snatches them and possibly the Wonder Bread up for cheap.

    I just saw a TV show yesterday about how they make Hostess cupcakes and I mentioned I hadn't had them in years and needed to go get a box. A coworker said I'd better hurry up, they're closing their doors. I was shocked.

    Kinda funny that people will back their union and the union was stupid enough to bring the company down. This is why unions have run their course. They used to be a good idea, now they are just money hungry bastards that don't care about the business that provides them a job.

    Unions are not needed in this day and age look what it is causing to our beloved Twinkies. Unions are only hanging on by a thread where they have strongholds in older industries. They force companies to pay inflated wages and now the Twinkie is gone. :(
