Real end of the world disaster... No more twinkies!!

[kato13]

Hey, what's not to like about haggis

I think it's repellent in every way. In fact, I think most Scottish cuisine is based on a dare.

The DIA station chief in Toronto is currently trying to steal the recipe from the closing plant by bribing the chef, but what he doesn't know is that the GRU has dispatched a spetnaz team, disguised as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with truck scales to stop the twinkee trucks and steal samples.

Meanwhile, the KGB is planning to assassinate everyone that's ever read the ingredients on a twinkee (since they can't have them, no one can) and MI5 has identified a spy, from Wojo's armaments, who is going to make Wojokies in a garage shop in Krakow for a fraction of the cost. The CIA is behind the other agencies because the agency head was busy sending 200+ emails a day to middle aged cougars and mistakenly thought the rush was for ding-dongs, which no one cares about, except for the secret police in Zaire.

Elsewhere, because the DIA refused to tell anyone of their efforts, the commander of the local Vermont National Guard 86th Armored Brigade chooses to invade Canada. A column of M60A3s from the armory front lawn and experimental LAV75s cross the border, fueled by alcohol from vermonts plentyful cornfields.

A battle unfolds as the tankers see a twinkie truck on a scale and get into a shoot out with the RCMP clad spetnaz, however the only casualties are the cream fillings and a scale, crushed by an untrained LAV driver.

Meanwhile, no one from the Canadian army responds to the armored invasion as they have females in their units, its shower time on the training schedule, and a twinkie can not compare the other wholesome goodness of the Canadian army.

mean while a small squad of dismounts broke into the hostess factory and stole not only the recipe but also 5 crates of the last production run loaded them into a "liberated" civilian transport and are currently auctioning off the recipe.

currently the highest bid is from the KGB for $100,000,00.51

Never did like Twinkies. Hohos were good, and their cupcakes. Didn't like the bread. Who whats bread that will melt in your mouth IMO, no loss, except for the 1800 plus employees. There's two sides to every story though and I fear this is but the first such we shall see in the coming months.

Add on: However the company is for sale if the bankruptcy courts allow it, so portions of the company will probably survive in some fashion.

Hmmmm our local survival outfitter store has suddenly announced they are closing... getting ready for the end of the world maybe

I have to admit I've never liked Twinkies either. But I did look for a box last night, thinking of speculative investing. Shelves at the local Target were already bare of Hostess.

Paul is absolutely correct. Go to most State Fairs these days and you will probably find the following items that are fried.

Turkey Legs
Hershey Bars
Chicken Fried Bacon
Avocado
Spaghetti and Meatballs (THis from Minesota)
Coca Cola (Texas)
Jambalaya (Texas)
Twinkies

And the list goes on and on and on......

We used to say that Twinkies would survive the nuclear holocaust (and keep the cockroaches and Keith Richards alive...).

Now we see that there will be no more Twinkies before the End of the World. The Mayans were right!

If any of you know what Zerohedge is they've done some good write ups on the situation. Bad managers, changing tastes and notably underfunded or untenable pensions killed the company.

I've never ever liked Twinkies, Ding Ding yeah, cupcakes yeah, Womder Bread hell no. When I was a kid wonder bread was for people who didn't know what bread was.

It would be interesting if Mexicos Bimbo bought right to Ding Dongs. Then you could tell people you like cream filled Bimbo Ding Dong. Hahah. Sorry I know that's bad.

Bimbo Ding Dongs...if you have a really dirty mind, you could probably think of a way to give that another meaning...

I can't possibly imagine what you mean...



Dammit!
