Ding Dong The Hostess is Dead!

Long live the Hostess! The Wall Street Pirates who bought Hostess Twinkies and Wonder Bread have killed it off.  And now we can say with confidence, Long Live Hostess.

Mustn't blame the unions.  Management, by definition calls the shots.

 “Despite Greg Rayburn’s insulting and disingenuous statements of the last several months, the truth is that Hostess workers and the union have absolutely no responsibility for the failure of this company. That responsibility rests squarely on the shoulders of the company’s decision makers.”

Just so.

We cannot have economic recovery without price reduction.  With a brand as valuable as Hostess and Wonder Bread, the name alone is worth hundreds of millions, and with no union contracts associated with the brand, they just got more valuable.

Not only do Twinkies, Wonder Bread and Ho Hos have a shelf life of 33 million years, the brand will live on forever because the delicacies will be made under contract probably at the same plants by people who will buy up individual plants and continue the business of selling cupcakes to minimarts


May I tempt madam with a SnoBall?

I tell you, I recall eating these in my youth, but my stomach is turning just looking at these.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
