I work for a company that handles benefits for the employees and its really sad what hostess has done by locking them out of a job and we end up dealing with those calls because of course these employees are worried about their benefits. i really hope they work something out not for the sake of the twinkies but for the sake of these ppl that have families to support.

Wtf.<br /><br />I mean, I'm sad that a junk food icon of my childhood is gone (or, until another company buys it out, but it won't be the same) but it really doesn't affect me. I haven't had a Twinkie in 10 years, and that was from a gas station in the middle of an Illinois interstate and there was nothing else for me to buy for lunch. Yeah. Not really a good memory haha.<br /><br />I, personally, have always felt like Little Debbie was much better, which is probably one of the main reasons Hostess went under.<br /><br />I would be depressed if Cheez Its went out of business.
