Twinkie Goes Stale?

According to the urban legend, a Twinkie never goes stale, but its parent has gone stale. Hostess, in the middle of bankruptcy filing, has asked the bankruptcy judge to force a new contract on one of its employees' unions. Hostess is in its second bankruptcy since 2004 and has argued that without a new labor contract it will be unable to continue operations. Fortunately for junk foodies, even if Hostess does not emerge from bankruptcy it is likely that most of the company's iconic brands such as Twinkies, Ding Dongs, and Cupcakes will be sold to another company.
