It is a bittersweet moment here in America, iconic confectioners Hostess is closing their doors for good today.
The company filed for bankruptcy back in 2005 which caused a lot of pay cuts and loss of benefits. This caused the bakers to go on strike. Rather than reaching an agreement, the company decided to close it doors for good if the bakers didn't return. Its unfortunate that the company had to go into bankruptcy and couldn't afford to pay its workers correctly... but it's also sad that the company has to close it's doors.
We all grew up with Hostess, and all had our favorites. Personally, my favorites are the Snowballs and cupcakes. Fruit Occasions Marketing Director's fave was the twinkie. So long Hostess and all of your sugary baked snacks! We will miss you!
R.I.P. Hostess, No one does pink coconut and chewy marshmallow the way you do!
This is bitter sweet. Bitter because we will miss your confections, sweet because our waistlines will now get smaller!
We wish all of Hostess' employees and bakers well. This is the tough part when it comes to companies closing, all of the invested people who lose their jobs.
Perhaps people can now more easily opt for a healthier option.. like Fruit Occasions fruit bouquets and arrangements. They are just as delicious as a snowball or twinkie... all natural... and won't hurt your waistline!
