Bummer :-(. Hopefully whoever buys it will keep the products around. Little Debbie is cheaper and seemed to be more available at my stores. Whitewheat (owned by nature's own) also seemed to be on sale more often than wonder bread. Nowadays, people are gonna go for the cheaper items. Its a shame so many people will have to be on unemployment and without a job.

so the union strike force them to shut down now they will reopen with a different name or supposedly sell the company to get rid of the union and come back stronger i don't blame them sometimes unions are just greedy

Hopefully little debbie will buy them out and we can still get our hands on those yummy twinkies once again.

The news is very important, if you choose something new it
How about it?

Isn't that kinda shooting yourself in the foot. Now they are all out of jobs. HMMM

Unions have outlived their usefulness, and are a big part of the reason jobs are outsourced to cheaper labor markets.

A sad day for Diabetes, but we Americans are resourceful and will find other ways to ramp up our obesity rates. USA! USA!

Bimbo bakery is slated to buy Hostess and man do they make a lot of what we eat already

Next week may be Black Friday but sweets lovers across the nation hung their heads in sorrow on a dark Friday yesterday as Hostess announced they would cease making their line of products, which include the iconic Twinkies brand, because of the Bakers Union Strike.

But now as the brand heads towards liquidating and selling off their assets, a Mexican company may be angling to resurrect the golden Twinkies.

According to the Christian Science Monitor, while food producers ConAgra and Flowers Food, the American company behind Nature Valley granola, have expressed interest along with Little Debbie baker McKee Foods, Mexico’s Grupo Bimbo may hold the inside track.

Grupo Bimbo is the world’s largest bread-baking firm, which already owns parts of Sara Lee, Entenmann’s and Thomas English Muffins and previously made what was considered a low-ball offer of $580 million a few years ago, Forbes reports. Now Hostess may only be worth $135 million.
Economists say high sugar prices tied to US trade tariffs were a big reason Hostess was struggling, but a Mexican company could be a lifeline for Twinkies because it would be able to take advantage of access to lower-priced sugar in Mexico.
While Hostess was clearly struggling, analysts believed Grupo Bimbo had an eye on them since the early 2000s because they saw Hostess as a key ingredient for North American expansion with delivery routes that penetrated across the country into convenience stores, gas stations and grocery markets, according to Forbes.
Daniel Servitje Montull runs Grupo Bimbo, which was founded by his family in 1954. His family is worth $4 billion.
Servitje Montull, has already worked magic before, taking on Mexico’s tortilla market and positioning white bread in Latin America.
If Grupo Bimbo pulls off a deal with Hostess for Twinkies, his next challenge will be resurrecting an American favorite.

Everybody can keep buying twinkies.

Fatties rejoice!

^You're not being nice.

The sad part is that the Baker's Union is not the only one that was in play; the Teamsters had agreed to the concessions. So because of the other union, they are now suffering. :(

@catchersmom - It's too early to say Bimbo will buy them. Everything will go to the highest bidder.

@dealwagger is right. Greed by a union of 5,000 people has resulted in the loss of 18,000 jobs.

If the deal was that bad, the other union would not have accepted it early on. If Hostess had tons of money, they wouldn't be in this situation. When your company is close to going bankrupt, you have to either take concessions or go find another job.
