I decided while reading all the preservatives in the thing that if I died after eating one I might remain intact for thousands of years until some archeological project would find my perfectly preserved body and wonder what had kept me so.
So I ask you, when is the last time you ate a Twinkie, a HoHo or a Ding Dong? When is the last time you put one into a kid’s lunch box?
That’s right, the company is going under because they refused to change the formula of their anti-health food at a time when people, especially young people are eating healthier. And the outgoing powers that be would rather blame it on their employees."-john hourihan

Not sure why you would post something that is patently untrue !!!!!!!
The Teamster union already had agreed to concessions to keep the company going and this group in another union there will not and is out talking to the press and NEVER DID THE COMPANY BLAME ANYONE.
Actually, the only comment I saw recently was when the aformentioned union who will not take ANY concessions said that a new buyer was needed, the company simply responded by saying that they have tried that and NOBODY as of yet will buy the company and take on the union contracts.
I have absolutely no information about what the specific issues are in this case, thus I will make no pronouncement as you did about the company blaming this union or about the contents being the demise.
This is the problem...NOBODY will really look at the issues....gee you are supposed to be anti company and pro union so Hostess is wrong...OR...you are supposed to be anti union and pro company so the union is wrong.
These are the new knee jerks reactions to the class warfare in this country...we all pick our side and CEASE LISTENING or HEARING
