    • Hostess is betting on a sweet comeback for Twinkies when they return to shelves next month.

    The company that went bankrupt after an acrimonious fight with its unionized workers last year is back up and running under new owners and a leaner structure. It says it plans to have Twinkies and other snack cakes back on shelves starting July 15.

    Based on the outpouring of nostalgia sparked by its demise, Hostess is expecting a blockbuster return next month for Twinkies and other sugary treats, such as CupCakes and Donettes. The company says the cakes will taste the same but that the boxes will now bear the tag line "The Sweetest Comeback In The History Of Ever."

    "A lot of impostor products have come to the market while Hostess has been off the shelves," says Daren Metropoulos, a principal of the investment firm Metropoulos & Co., which teamed up with Apollo Global Management to buy a variety of Hostess snacks.

    Hostess Brands Inc. was struggling for years before it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in early 2012. Workers blamed the troubles on years of mismanagement, as well as a failure of executives to invest in brands to keep up with changing tastes. The company said it was weighed down by higher pension and medical costs than its competitors, whose employees weren't unionized.

    To steer it through its bankruptcy reorganization, Hostess hired restructuring expert Greg Rayburn as its CEO. But Rayburn ultimately failed to reach a contract agreement with its second largest union. In November, he blamed striking workers for crippling the company's ability to maintain normal production and announced that Hostess would liquidate.

Therefore, the manifest heretic cannot be Pope." -- St. Robert Bellarmine

    I just wanted to make some people happy. This is the food/nutrition subfora. While twinkies aren't known for being nutritous there are some people who liked them.

    Charlemagne, your response is appropriate. I was thinking the same thing myself, not just on this thread but on dozens of others.

    Besides, I wouldn't have any idea what this trivia is about.

    • It's actually good news. I love twinkles. But like Big Macs, only twice a year. Kind of how often most concilliarists attend there "mass". Lol

    I thought perhaps I was on the wrong thread.  Isn't this the thread for "slogans" for the NeoSSPX?

    • Before they went out of business, Hostess Twinkies were getting pretty stale right out of the box and right out of the grocery store.  We weren't choosing Bunny or some other bread over Wonder Bread for nothing - it was because Wonder was becoming stale also.  

    I think they probably had a very high paid union workforce that may have given 17% of their efforts at work to produce a good product.  They clearly give a hoot.

    Now that Hostess has filed bankruptcy, and a lot of companies do this to rid themselves of the union workforces (which really are just tools of the world socialists and not in any way do they resemble the working man of Leo XIII's encyclical Rerum Novarum).  Union employees have it coming.  They almost drove the company into the ground.

    Now, a new beginning at Hostess, and I am looking forward to fresh Twinkies.

    I mentioned Bunny in the first paragraph and they are a union company too.  So really, union stewards and the local union guys should take pride in their work and not turn out a lousy product.  

    Now, if only the conciliar church could file for bankruptcy to rid themselves of all the modernists...   :laugh1:
