Where are the fucking Twinkies?
There's a box of Twinkies in that grocery store. Not just any box of Twinkies, the last box of Twinkies that anyone will enjoy in the whole universe. Believe it or not, Twinkies have an expiration date. Some day very soon, Life's little Twinkie gauge is gonna go... empty.
Where are you, you spongy, yellow, delicious bastards?

I was in the Safeway grocery store today, and my eye was caught by a cheerful display of baked goods placed close to the store entrance. Sure enough, the items on display were Safeway brand Twinkies, Suzy Qs, Ho Ho's and the like.

Didn't take long for them to jump in to fill the gap, and I bet Safeway is not alone.

Take heart, Henry!

If the products are so good - so tasty - then why is the company going bankrupt? Listen to jobs needed on that assembly line. One long time employee was doing the 'Twinkie Straighter' job. Yes their equipment does not put freshly baked Twinkies always in the right position. Rather than fix the equipment, business school graduates decided it was better to have a human correct the machine's mistakes.

Due to bad management (and bad management also blames the employees), then even manufacturing equipment could not be fixed or upgraded. According to spread sheets, it was cheaper to create a job called a Twinkie Straightener. No "Wonder" Hostess top management was getting robust income increases. It was the union's fault.

Look, they were born that way, and it's not up to Hostess to force them into a lifestyle that would be a lie to themselves and everyone around them.
