In happier times the Mud Bay Blog ran the above photo in a post titled Must Be a Great Job. My tribute to the passing of Hostess Brands snack cakes is simply to run the photo again only with a different and sadder title.
I don’t know whether to blame labor or management (or both) for the Bakers Union strike that caused the company to announce that it is shutting down its operations and selling its brands. So I’m not going to take sides. Hopefully, sooner than later, some enterprising investor will figure out a way to start making Twinkies, CupCakes (my personal favorite), and the rest of the sinful Hostess treats again. Then maybe the Twinkies van, with a new logo, can get back on the road.
