I think it'd be a great way to boost sales...
something like Hostess say they are going out of business for "X" reason... people freak out, go out and buy 100 boxes per person in the family, then 2 weeks later come up with some excuse of why they are now not going out of business.

actually, from looking at what's available for the public to see(well, mainly some access to stuff I have from being a student of the School of Business Ole Miss)... I would not be surprised if they did completely go out of business then a company like Nestle or another similar company to buy the rights, patents, and recipes and reproduce them with the "Twinkie" name but a different owner.

Hopefully they use the original recipes and bring back the quality. As it stands I could care less they are going tits up.

shane i have a familly member that works at the plant she told me that they got bailed out by another company but that company know has partial ownership of the recipe but im not totally sure if thats true but i am pretty sure they just did this to boost sales cause a friend of mine went to every store within 7 miles of here that spent 4000 dollars on hostess products just to "stock up" so he wouldnt be without for a while since he goes thru atleast 8 bags of powdered donettes or whatever every month

The guy has a 99.9% seller rating. Seems like you can't lose Jim. Now you need a lender.

You think this would be big news. I can't find anything but speculation.

Wow! Just...wow...lol

When I was growing out, er, up, the name "twinkie" was a derogatory term meaning "not very manly"...as in "Oh, twinkie hurt his widdle footsie in the bear trap...poor widdle twinkie...hobble over here and help me skin this carcass before I come and chop off your other leg TWINKIE...it's just a flesh wound..."

Those trappers were tough on me...
