tazinib1 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Twinkies, Raspberry Muffin Loaf, Ding Dongs, Suzy Q's and Lemon Fruit Pies. Of course none of it was good for you, but I sure had a damned good time stuffing my face. I have a half loaf of Wonder Bread in my fridge.... Please don't let Mrs. Smith buy the brand...they will destroy the Hostess name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Itals Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I'm headed to the Hostess outlet store to buy up every Twinkie they have. After the impending apocolypse it will just be me, Twinkies and the cockroaches. Oh, and the zombies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWmaker Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 http://www.hoovers.com/company-information/cs/competition.Hostess_Brands_Inc.56cc90c7c09b7764.html "Hostess Brands, Inc. Competition It's no Wonder that a Hostess would show her Home Pride by serving breads and sweet goods made by Hostess Brands. One of the US's largest wholesale bakers, Hostess operates about three dozen bakeries and some 570 bakery outlet stores, and delivers baked goods to US supermarkets, mass marketers, and convenience stores on 5,500 delivery routes. The company's bread brands include Merita, Nature's Pride, Wonder, and Beefsteak Rye. It also sells snack cakes, including Twinkies, Ding Dongs, and Ho Ho's, and other sweet baked goods under the Hostess, Dolly Madison, and Drake's brands. Owned by the investment firm Ripplewood Holdings, Hostess Brands filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2012." Wow. I knew about the snack-type foods but didn't know Wonder Bread Nature's Pride and Beefsteak Rye were under this umbrella. Also didn't know Drake's is out as well. I thought they were direct competition and our saving grace with the loss of Hostess. Bummed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I know a few local people that have worked a lifetime for Hostess and they all feel that years and years of very bad management has lead Hostess to where they are today. So Taz, I am not trying to start a argument over this one as I don't have really clear information other than what the three workers that I know sure do feel very committed to thinking is the problem with Hostess.
