[ale] Way OT - the death of Twinkies

[Lightner, Jeff]

My first thought on hearing about this the other day was of the movie Zombieland in which Woody Harrelson's character's main driving force is the search for the "last twinkies".   A funny bit was when his traveling companion blasts through a door with a shotgun only to find the only box of twinkies on the other side of it blasted as well.  :-)

Twinkies won't go away - in the company's statement they made the comment that the brands would likely be sold.

Interestingly their main union had actually signed a contract and it was a lesser union that went on strike.   A co-worker of mine said that he had heard or read that other union did it because they decided they'd make more money on unemployment than with the new contract with all the concessions it had.

Its not poison, who thinks eating tons of junk food is healthy? Its all in moderation. No one does moderation anymore. No one does patience as well.
