Default OT: Hostess Gone Bankrupt!

OMG the makers of Twinkies and all those good munchie snack foods with a shelf life of a bajillion years has filed for bankruptcy protection!

Tell me this is all just a horrible nightmare induced by medication and mind numbing pain! That I am locked in a nightmare world of my own mysery known commonly as HELL!

I couldn't care less. We, here in Holland, have bakeries. We get our bread from real wheat and not that fake stuff you call wonderbread.
Sorry, my opinion on the North American food industry.
Unfortunate for the workers though. I feel for them.

What? Hostess makes bread too?
Im not going to miss the bread. Thats just an edible napkin so the meat in my sandwiche isnt so messy. I can switch to tortillas.
But the PASTRYS! What will I do without the pastry?
How am I supposed to get my daily recommended preservatives?

My, my, it seems like the people from Noth America are really struck by this.
Now you'll have to switch to real food. Hehehe...

Well we do that too, but we also need our pastries!

Personaly Wonder bread was good if it was fresh. Any more then 2 days old and it was nasty.

But if Twinkies are gone...the US will crumble!

Hey, plenty of Americans eat real bread, not that white bread crap that is mostly not anything beneficial to humans...
