The End of Joy
RIP joy, humor, life, celebration, happiness, hopefulness, ambition, excitement, pleasure, reward, and purpose to my life.
This may not be worse than the Holocaust, but it’s certainly worse than the Armenian genocide.
Peace, DB1.
You can probably buy the recipe for Ho-Ho’s for a small fee.
Twinkies- the creamiest of all monkeyholes
Ding, Dong, the Twinkie’s dead…
Sad days indeed. Big labor did to our beloved snack food what the food nazis never could.
Hang in there Db1 maybe the government will bail them out like they did the auto industry?
Hang in there DB1. Consumer demand may win out, and this’ll be like the comic book death of superman.
Too delicious to fail.
As a Canadian who has seen Madison Avenue push this sweet shit since my parents bought their first TV and that 200 ft. antenna, I must in the interests of full disclosure note here that I have never consumed a tasty Hostess treat.
.
It is only imaginable that a DB1, nay a nation brought up under G-d and the most shining Golden Arches is suffering one of it’s bleakest days. I imagine a Twinky to be a crumbly pastry-type confection filled with a particularly corn glutinized ejaculate as it were. The hostess Twinkie a phallic symbol of post-war life for generations, trying to eat their way back to the times when women didn’t work and the weekend evenings spent listening to Uncle Milty and Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians by the oil-furnace in the dining room.
.
I forgot my point. But if you need any illegal drugs shipped over to you to ease your levelling blood-sugar ratios let me know you crazy kids.
big labour had nothing to do with this. Hostess had been repeatedly mismanaged by a bunch of vulture capitalists for years. It was saddled with more than $700 million dollars of debt. If the union had caved, management would have been able to squeeze a little more debt into the company, pay themselves huge parachutes, and then let the whole thing collapse. The union saw this was bullshit and called them on it. Are they out of work now instead of a year from now? Yes. Did the vultures get to squeeze another $100 million out of it? No.
Just because I quit eating Twinkies and Ho Ho’s 20 years ago doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy seeing them on the shelf at 7-11. Crikey

Next, Anheuser-Busch?
Hang in there DB1. Here’s a website showing you how to make your own…
^ By the way, if Jacques puts up a similar post with a link…don’t click it.
Our beloved brother Troy is a Unionist. May we pray. And by pray I mean I’m gonna find the last muthefucking box of Twinkies for DB1,
.
I came in a Twinky once
…it was messy, yet satifying
….I called it Harriet
I’ll tell you who was behind all of this!! It was that cunt Little Debbie!!!!
This just in!! Canada to become last stronghold of defunct Hostess-Twinkie-based American civilization:
Snack giant Hostess shuttering U.S. business, but Canada unaffected
Two Canadian companies that own the rights to some of U.S. bakery giant Hostess Brands Inc.’s products say the looming shutdown of the company won’t have any impact on their operations.
George Weston Ltd. owns the rights to Wonder Bread in Canada, while Saputo Inc. has the rights to the Hostess snack cake name.
The shutdown of Hostess in the U.S. will have no effect whatsoever on the Wonder Bread brand in Canada, said Geoffrey Wilson, senior vice-president for investor relations.
“We have the rights for Canada,” he said.
“It’s a very good seller. It’s a very important brand to us and we continue to invest in it.”

^HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH DW. That is gold. Fucking Armenians are nasty pricks. 1st year university we had an Armenian, a Greek, and a Turk in the dorm. The Armenian was never heard from again after a drunken Saturday night. Nobody cared. If anyone needs a shave it’s the Armenians.

Sorta yeah. But more than anything, I’m a stickler for truth. And truth be told, Hostess has been badly managed for a very long time by vulture capitalists who saw it as a place to dump debt and write themselves big checks. IIRC, Hostess’s debt is somewhere north of $700 million dollars. They make (lousy) bread and snack cakes. The company has simply been raided and drained by management, leaving the workers holding the bag. Then when all the bills came due, management wanted to squeeze more debt out of the company over the backs of the workers. The workers said, FUCK OFF. So, now the company dies. So, my affection for the working class has nothing to do with the facts: and the fact is Hostess was driven into the ground by vultures over a period of many many years.
The whole snack food industry is going fuccen crazy:

And with weed becoming legal in more places in the US, one would think that Hostess could’ve waited a bit longer. Business would’ve certainly picked up in the next few months, and everyone could’ve reaped the benefits.
.
Oh well, buy stock in Frito-Lay…..
Troy,
I’ll meet you half way. Bad management put the company on life support. The union pulled the plug. Nobody wins. Except Little Debie.
rolled into a service sta/convenience store the other day needing a sugar fix. to my dismay, there were no ding dongs, no twinky’s, no fruit pies & none of those lil’ hockey puck choc donuts…had to setlle for a snickers w almonds
…however, on the way out, there was a guy selling crack & weed by the washroom…all is not lost in America rev
So the Hostess workers decided that they’d prefer to have no job as opposed to a job that pays slightly less money than they want. Clever.
I just saw Hostess potato chips yesterday (In Canada) those were my favourite chips as a kid, until my tastebuds developed.
16) Titanic, the movie with that short American actor guy who wrinkles his big forehead in all his movies
17) Money grubbing Jews closing down all those Palestinian accounts in the west bank.
18) Human trafficing of women who look hot and young in the pictures but show up with mustaches and a hand that’s backwards
19) The bombing of Pearl Bailey
20) Champagne Katie’s plastic boobs
Rev, how long before all the Armenian guy’s clothes and stereo and shit were gone?
^I don’t know. It seemed like he was never there. I did see Haldun the Turk sneaking out with some chemical burns and a Walkman.
He was disappeared, then, eh?
.
Say no more. [wink] [nod]
