NEW YORK (AP) -- Hostess Brands Inc., the maker of Twinkies and Wonder
Bread, is seeking bankruptcy protection, blaming its pension and medical
benefits obligations, increased competition and tough economic
conditions.

Sad, sad day.

thats what happens when you feed ur customers pure fat...

i need another twinkie damn it...

Put Ali on suicide watch.

they just recently worked their way out of bankruptcy.

Back in the hole.

Stupid health conscious society.

We've got to keep this news from getting to Woody Harrelson!! Or lots of people will die in his murderous path to eat the last twinkies!!

They need to expand !!! How about starting in erm.......Scotland for instance.

Today's Mike and Mike is all about the demise of Hostess. Mike Golic is very upset.

Too big to fail. They need a bailout.

I agree. We need to start a petition that actually means something, save the Twinkies.

I can't remember the last time I ate a hostess cake.

Co-worker just told me a box of twinkies is going for $900 on Amazon.

so pretty much the ever growing clout of unions killed twinkies?

Twinkies won't die that easily after all.

Hostess Brands Inc. and its second largest union will go into mediation to try and resolve their differences, meaning the company won't go out of business just yet. The news came Monday after Hostess moved to liquidate and sell off its assets in bankruptcy court citing a crippling strike last week.
