It could be gone. I don't understand why Hostess wouldn't just sell their brands like wonder bread, twinkies, etc. to some other company, though.

They had some companies interested in them from what I understand.  For some reason they are choosing to liquidate instead.  I guess the parts are worth more than the whole.

I've heard Bimbo is looking into to buying up the brands and keep them going. Twinkies hecho en Mexico!

All but wonder bread. Anti trust issues.

True. Bread needs to be baked close to the retail outlets. But Twinkies and Sno Balls....
