Topic: No more Twinkies? | |
---|---|
Sounds like the workers voted to screw thenselves. Let's just hope the greedy biches can't get unemployment and the Union spent their strike funds. Sounds like Hostess wanted to be fair. Yep 5,600 greedy union bakers not willing to compromise on a contract cased a total of 18,500 people to lose their jobs. POWER OF THE PEOPLE. In truth, the company was in deep financial doo doo. Sometimes its better to let it fall. Take it off life support and let it die. If only their unions had been as strong as the UAW the government may have bailed them out. alas, I think there is a higher demand and higher employment in the automotive industry than there is in,,,ho hos,,, |

No more Twinkies? So, that is what the Mayans meant by the world ending in 2012. |

I get me a Ho-Ho once a month.
Is that the same thing as a threesome? |

I am sure it has more to do with the fact no one eats wonder bread very few I know will eat those chemical foods anyhow. The best tweet: "The only food that can survive an apocalypse will no longer be made. Well played Mayans. Well played." |

Yeah we'll Ford did just fine but that didn't stop the government from bailing out the other 2. Where's the Twinkie bailout? |

I haven't had a Twinkie in 40 years- now I want one! You and everyone else! I saw a lady at the store grabbing two boxes and I had to get the very last box yesterday at the store where I was shopping. I ate one too as soon as I got home! Now I may have to go try another store! I think all the news reports are producing instant demand! Sorry - Cloud Cakes are just not the same. |
