R.I.P. Ding Dongs
Hostess n Wonder Bread :| Orange Cupcakes Twinkies Ho-Ho's :vigil: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_W-pG7tUmJk...g_dongs_04.jpg That's 18,000 jobs lost and another American Icon bites the chocolate dust. I'm totally traumatized. :overreaction: :| And I'm headed to the outlet in an hour. :praying: :daywalker: |
I am sorry Day.
That sucks |
i really do hate that. sad. i've never been a big liker of twinkies and hostess brands. but this shouldn't happen.
if little debbie can't manage her money, then i'll be really really sad. love me some little debbie. |
The Twinkie/wonderbread factory is 5 mins from my house.
They are going to liquidate the brands, I'm sure someone is going to by twinkies and the other product lines. I'll miss driving by on a Sunday morning and smelling the baking of the breads. |
Never cared much for the twinkie stuff. But do like the Home Pride bread. Seeing they are selling the brands off, some of the product line should come back. I'm wondering if the unions (300 different labor contracts?) were hoping the companies deadline of returning to work last night was a bluff. Big risk to take. So 18,500 more jobs lost. And, an untold number of retirees who will be losing, at minimum, their monthly retirement income, and perhaps health benefits. Is a major bummer all around. |
.....
So sorry to hear jobs are lost...
you can only hope there is a buy out and folks are put back to work. NO MORE HOSTESS O,S :| |
Mother of gawd, what is this world coming to? :confused:
I kinda feel like a part of my childhood is dying. |
this is a big loss..... not just the the snacks but more people , in the food stamp lines.... texas insterments ..... is laying off 1700 workers in dallas a lone.... and there r more to come.... whens this going to end?? |
It was my childhood. My dad had a bread route for the west coast brand. He then had an outlet store with routes running from there. I dressed as Snoopy one weekend to help promote Ding Dongs. He paid me good! At home, our freezer was full of bread and treats. I was the go to friend, lol. Wow, this is sad.
Looking around for some other cream filled treats.... |
im at a wal mart now...... i know this is against my diet but .....
i feel like running in there and stocking up on hoho's , twnikies and and ahhhh zingers... heh |
I don't like the products (yes, sacrilegious, I know) but I mourn the USA of my childhood.
My grandchildren will never know it as it was. |
I just heard the news... this is so upsetting. I don't like that people are losing their jobs but I am majorly depressed about losing my suzi Q's , orange cupcakes, ding dongs, and twinkies. What am I going to do?
Seriously.. this is depressing... childhood memories. |
[QUOTE=SleepyButch;701519] suzi Q's ,

THis is not good!!!! All the jobs lost,our fave goodies gone,it's like to much to see gone.The only way this could/may /possible not happen is for Little Debbie to get it right with finances so they can contenue.Plus,people NEED tp BELEAVE in the good old U.S.A. and spend there money on OUR products so this hopefuly dosent happen......again.

Trying to blame the unions and workers after workers have already given multiple concessions. No thanks Hostess.
