Awwwwww! Twinkies is Bankrupt!

[malgron]

Just means a new company will swoop in and take their spot. Of course they might have just filed the protection bankruptcy as apposed to the liquidation one..

If they go under it's sad for all the people that work there, but honestly, I kinda hate everything they make.

Daaamn, I looove Twinkies!!!

OMG I need to stock up just in case...I haven't had one in about 15 years, but now that they are going bankrupt I feel that I need to have some on hand just in case...

Everyone deserves to know what they are actually ingesting inside their precious bodies w/these processed treats. Only companies like these care about their own profit and less concern for consumerism health. Go ahead and eat all you want.  http://www.divinecaroline.com/22107/35281-twinkie-ingredients-revealed

Ewwwww......I read that article and I will never eat a Twinkie again! Good to know that I have never really eaten them much because I don't care for them......now I know why! I am not eating something made of gas and rock and shortening.....gross!!

If everyone bought a Twinkie (or other Hostess product), (regardless of whether they're eaten or not) it would be a great thing to do to help the Hostess employees save their jobs.

Too bad..I haven't had a Twinkie in years.

[lynnc35]

They are so darn expensive

[jdgaris]

I have not eaten Twinkies in years. I think they are gross, for lack of a better word. If you want a good replacement try "TastyKakes." They are awesome!

[donnitab]

Awww...no more Twinkies!!! What to do!!

[acurtsinger2]

bankrupt doesnt necessarily mean gone...craftsman tools went bankrupt a few years ago and thney are still around....its just a way of getting out of paying creditors

[sunflowers20054u]

I love ding-dongs I hope they recover and are still able to operate.

[catherinedwhite]

I hadn't heard this news.
Can't say it disturbs me though.

[bigedshult]

they would not be bankrupt if they didn't cost so much to by them.

There's a little store closeby that sells single-pack Twinkies for .50 cents.  While I was in there (I was checking the expiration dates) commenting on the price...another customer told me that you can by a "tray" which contains several single-pack Twinkies and Hostess Cupcakes for only $3 at Sam's Club.
