SuperTaz Posted November 19, 2012 Author Posted November 19, 2012 There might be hope yet for Twinkies after all: http://www.foxbusiness.com/industries/2012/11/19/hostess-union-agree-to-mediation/ Hostess Brands Inc, its lenders and the unions representing its striking workers, agreed to start mediation hearings on Tuesday at the urging of a U.S. bankruptcy court judge. A hearing on Monday during which the bankrupt maker of Twinkies snack cakes and Wonder Bread was set to ask for permission to liquidate was quickly adjourned until Wednesday after the judge urged the parties to mediate in private. The mediation will begin on Tuesday. 1 Quote
HSMagnet Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 so basically he told both parties to grow up and try it again Quote
No_Nickname Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Looks like it, but hopefully it came as a rude surprise to the union that they aren't playing games Quote
surfy Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Recently a work colleague brought some twinkines from an online store cause we just wondered what the famous twinkies tasted like. Well lets put it this way, we won't be getting anymore lol. Quote
xX_Renegade_Xx Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 :lol: @ Surfy I've never tried them but they look quite nice but based on Surfy's comment I'll pass. Quote
HSMagnet Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 they are bland except for tasting like they are about 20 years old. kids like them because of the sugar rush Quote
SuperTaz Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 I like twinkies. I eat one pack a week. I guess that is why I am a bit wider than normal. :P 1 Quote
Gutshot Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Twinkies, cupkakes, ding dongs, etc... are more than simple snack food. THEY ARE PART OF LIFE! It's like losing, say, pizza or burgers. They are better than health food, they are food for your very soul. Damned health nazi's are the original reason they are in grave danger. Moderation is the key to them not fattening you up like a piggy. Personally though, I'll miss the fruit pies the most. Quote
pipes1 Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 hey dont talk about pizza i was at a fire lastnight that took out the locals best pizza place, twinkies are good, havent had one in a while hope it all works out Quote

Gutshot Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Oops. Well, I did say "a piggy", not "Piggy". But, yeah. :brownbag: Quote
No_Nickname Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 I just looked at a couple of the food stores near me, not a single Hostess product on the shelves or in the back Quote
Chaos1907 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 I went into a Wawa the other day hoping they "had" some Twinkies left, they had zip! :( Quote
Gutshot Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 You know what really sucks for me? I never even tried the Twinkies with the chocolate filling. I may have missed out forever. :cry: Next on the health nazi's list of destruction: Oreos. If that happens, I may leave America and move to Sweden. I heard they really enjoy coffee and a good slab of cake in Sweden. A people who really know the meaning of "soul food". 1 Quote
surfy Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 A people who really know the meaning of "soul food". That would be the Italians in my opinion. Quote
Gutshot Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 That would be the Italians in my opinion. Oh yes, I would never forget about them. Definitely excellent. Quote
HSMagnet Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 That would be the Italians in my opinion. Tutti a tavola a mangiare! Quote
Chaos1907 Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Okay... FPS Russia got the last bit of the almighty Twinkie! Quote
