Don't believe the hype.
Obviously. The reason Hostess went down, too, is vulture capitalism. This wasn't the little company that could, struggling to survive against all odds. It had a series of 6 bad CEOs over 10 years. It was bought out, loaded with debt. Their whole goal was to gut the company of its assets.
