    I don't think these products will disappear. Hostess makes quite a lot of money from sales but they've had financial troubles because of mismanagement and issues with labour etc, now that they're going into liquidation that means that anyone else with the cash can just come in and buy the rights. There are also several things the current owners can do to still retain product rights and even start up a new company etc. The ones that are going to lose out the most are actually the workers who may be left without jobs.

    There's what I believe to spoof articles popping up about Fiat and GM expressing interest in acquiring Hostess. Amusing reads if nothing else.

    Sounds like we're going to be royally buggered when Armageddon happens, rather than quite buggered, since we now will no longer have the whole 'Twinkies will survive the apocalypse' food backup plan to survive against the apocalypse-hordes / zombie hordes / mutants / face-eating aliens / whatever's going to happen.

So in the end their greed came back to bite them, and now instead of 'less money than what they were earning' they have 'no money at all'.
    I don't think it's selfish etc as such, more just short-sightedness. Plus, it's not hard to find the whole 'companies = evil' sentiment in society, so it's not like there's a huge motivation to think about the (for want of a better term) broader implications of things like wage increases etc.
    Thanks to all who helped me out with my research project! Really appreciated!

    Bought 1 of the last boxes in NZ of Twinkies. Fair price, too.
    If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.
