I like them when I was a pup. Haven't had any in years either, but they are kind of an American staple. Its a shame. I hope those losing their livelihoods don't stay displaced for long.

If they were part of the union that caused it, they get what they deserve

Hostess Brands, the bankrupt maker of cream-filled pastries like Twinkies and Ho Hos, said on Friday that it planned to wind down its operations and sell off its portfolio of well-known brands. The decision comes a week after one of the company’s biggest unions went on strike to protest a labor contract.

Friday’s decision spells the end of Hostess, an 82-year-old company that has endured wars, countless diet fads and even an earlier Chapter 11 filing. As the national appetite for the junk food waned, the baked-goods maker fell on hard times.

This ultra common scenario is probably more to blame...
"top executives at the firm have received significant pay bumps, while at the same time asking for concessions from workers."
