"We deeply regret the necessity of today's decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike," said CEO Gregory Rayburn in a statement.

Imagine that.

Anybody going through withdrawals?

A few years back they became PISSCUTTER pies not being as big as they once were!

That tell you anything about the TARDville Deer Herd?

Wisz was a Hell of a Sport this year even if He did tell the UDWR to F-Off during the Phone Call!

Well.....they are good deep fried......or they were. Now they are going to be as rare as Passenger Pigeons. Bad deal for the economy.

I am sure we will see this happening to a ton of companies over the next 4 years.

Companies that produce/sell Rosarita Refrieds, Basmatti Rice and Colt 45 Stout Malt in 40 oz, will probably flourish however.

I find it ironic that the year pot is legalized, hostess goes down!

It's a myth that Twinkies stay fresh for a long time. They get hard, stale & nasty so don't keep them too long. I delivered Hostess/Wonderbread for over five years. Infact I owe my wonderful physique to Hostess;-)
