Those fruitcakes are nasty

Doc Shakalu will probably put in a bid for some fruitcakes.

Didn't realize you were pimping yourself on RCF. Trouble funding the move?

Hostess has been planning this shut down for years, and it's been well known in the business community. It has nothing to do with unions and everything to do with profit.

All up for sale lol. A whole tray of fruit cakes, one tray of cupcakes, 20 boxes of twibkies, 15 bags of donuts

That sounds like a Tuesday in some neighborhoods of San Francisco...

One other thing to mention is the fact Little Debbie sold its products cheaper than hostess, yet was able to remain more profitable because they don't deal with unions.

One big thing to mention is that Little Debbie makes better products, yet it was more profitable because their products are better. Therefore they had a larger demand.

one big thing to also mention is that Little Debbie doesnt have a labor union up their ass, and can operate their business to their liking.

My father in law was talking today that there are bakers up in the Toledo plant still picketing.

I don't understand how unions work but instead of closing the entire company couldn't hostess just hire like scabs?

fudge rounds are Little Debbie. Ho hos I'm sad to say are gone. The current supply will go bad in 2150.

 

[David.]

Thats a shame. ho hos were easily better than swiss rolls.

Were not only losing twinkees but also ho hos, sno balls, donettes, and wonder bread. Tis a sad day. Someone will buy the recipe and rights ti the name twinkee.
