wtf?

Apple pies. Ho Ho's. King Dons (call 'em Ding Dongs if you want...but that wasn't original.) Wonder Bread. Cupcakes...

None of it good for you, but those of us still in touch with our inner child like an occasional piece of crap food...something about enjoying life a little.

And I wonder if the 18,500 employees will get over it?

I may have had a loaf of Nature's Pride in the last 5 years, but other than that, I haven't eaten anything made by Hostess since I was a kid.

The brands will be sold off and the factories too. Maybe some of the workers will be able to work for new owners, but most likely, most of them are done.

Do they make Suzy Q's, as well? I can do without all that sweet junk food except for Suzy Q's. The sugar rush from one package of those can keep me boucing off the walls for hours.
