Hostess Brands will move promptly to lay off most of its 18,500-member workforce and focus on selling its assets to the highest bidders.

Ouch.

[HUnewearl_Meira]

To he highest bidders? What the fuck is that going to look like? The state of Alabama descending on some auction in the middle of nowhere? It seems like a desert at first, only to reveal that off-white color isn't sand but the ground completely carpeted by the goo-filled goodness of Twinkies?

"And now, our first item: a seven lifetime supply of stale Cupcakes."

*eighty-three hands go up*

Actually, it'll be the rights to use the brand names of Hostess' products, which is well beyond Twinkies, cupcakes, Ho-Hos and Ding Dongs. There's a great deal of baked goods that you'd recognize the names of, that will be affected by this, including but not limited to: Baker's Inn, Blue Ribbon, Colombo, Toscana and Wonder Bread.

Meh, I think we can live without them.

Much longer, actually.

[CelestialBlade]

Ouch.

Yeah, it's the 18,500 people getting laid off that really sucks. But yeah, who else thought Zombieland when this went down?

[BIG OLAF]

Me. Even though I like Snowballs more than Twinkies.

I won't really miss anything from Hostess except the donuts...but Entenmann's are better anyway.

[Sayara]

but Entenmann's are better anyway.

Meh, I think we can live without them.

Much longer, actually.

Ha-haaaaaaaaa!
