No more Twinkies???

[DubaiSis]

I heard on CNN today (so it MUST be true) that a Mexican company is looking at buying it.

For my part, while I've eaten a few Twinkies in my life, it's been years and I only mourn the loss of the jobs, not the product. I'm waiting for this to all circle back around to Bain Capital.

On the other hand, there was a Wonder Bread factory in my home town, and how was I to know that everyone didn't grow up with that heavenly smell wafting through downtown, making a trip to the post office worth it. I wouldn't eat the bread on a bet now, but that smell, well that's a different thing.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Bimbo bought it. I'm sure that someone will at least pick up the brand names; they obviously have value.

Yes! There used to be a Mrs. Baird's bread factory on Central Expressway and Mockingbird in Dallas. If I ever drove by, I'd roll down my window - even in winter- to smell that great smell.
