And personally sad. There was a time that the Suzy Q was my brother's favorite snackcake. They were innocently decadent, messy and excellent in a totally Kurt way. My dad loved Twinkies, and, when he specially requested that Mom pick them up at the grocery, it was a good day because I knew that he felt confident we would have money coming in for the next few months. I've also delighted in Sno Balls, Ho Hos, Ding Dongs and CupCakes (that icing was a freaking marvel). And my all-time favorite was their apple pies. I wish I had one right now.
Rest in peace, Hostess Brands.
I've been wondering what GoHeath will do without Wonder bread. It's sad and also a very interesting story. A group of workers have essentially said we would rather the company go under in hopes of a new employer coming in, rather than continue working for this company.
ReplyDeleteI heard at least one commentator this morning who specifically talked about the apple pies.
ReplyDeleteWe white-bread aficionados are lucky to have many options, so we will survive even without Wonder Bread.
White bread is fantastic. I have said--all along--that if I ever got untouchably wealthy, I would have a fresh, giant loaf of white bed baked every afternoon, and then I would sleep on that loaf of bread that night. Any time I want, I could just roll over and take a bite of fresh white bread. And then, in the morning, it would composted, and work on the fresh, new bed of white bed would begin anew.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, I heard on the radio speculation that some of these Hostess treats would live on--that the company plans to sell the IP before boarding up the windows.
ReplyDeleteLots of Little Debbie love among the Times-Tribune Facebook friends in Corbin.
