IT'S ALIVE

I never liked Twinkies. Alright -1 me into oblivion, go on.

I am apparently the only fat person to never have had a Twinkie.

IT'S ALIVE
THEY'RE NOT QUITE DEAD YET!!!
This is probably the best marketing campaign to cash in on a failure I've ever seen.

I'm apparently missing something, to what failure are you referring?
-
The fact that Hostess went completely bankrupt and Twinkies were no longer being made.

Hostess' bankruptcy was not caused by unions, they tried to use their unions as a scapegoat because, shockingly, workers weren't willing to lose a third of their pay over managements failure to do literally anything that would have saved the company. Hostess' is a casualty of America's health craze, not a single product they offer has any nutritional value what so ever and were almost universally bad for you. They didn't introduce new products, or change anything about their old ones. They tried to keep selling the same thing they had always been putting on the shelf and were surprised when people went elsewhere but never introduced new products to combat that.

Ah, I haven't eaten Hostess products for years (for the reasons lp pointed out) so I didn't know they went bankrupt.
