Hostess is not out of bankruptcy. Good news is true thou, Twinkies are coming back. In April, Hostess Brands Inc. sold the Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Ho Hos and other brands to private investment firms Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co. for $410 million.

I haven't had a Twinkie since I was probably 12 years old. Haven't missed them one bit.

Are you sure? The article said they just got out of it, but then again a lot of them said different things. To be honest I don't really eat sweets anymore, so maybe I'd just grab one for the heck of it when they come back.

They're already back on shelves in some places, and I can tell you they taste worse than before.

My buddy bought cases of all that stuff before they went under and palms them off on me, I am so sick of twinkies, tiger tails, snowballs and fruit pies Im about to hurl writing this.

 

[wildbill23c]

Never really cared for the hostess stuff anyhow, no big loss in my book.

Sounds like Santa selling Avon...lol

I liked them when I was a pimply faced teenager, but even then I preferred healthier snacks like sesame snaps...except they were really sticky...

Well I'm sure people are going to buy them, if anything it should help the economy. I think them coming out of being bankrupt there going to have changes in managment, and changes in how they are made so the way they taste does not surprise me.

They went under because of their union. This company that bought the label is non-union but will still use Teamsters to haul the suger. The Teamsters were not part of their demise it was the bakers/ confectioners union if I remember correctly.

Could be both, with the money from selling those product lines and recipes/rights they could have pulled out, but then their most recognized product lines would be gone kind of a catch 22
