What is this obcession with the twinkie. All I see on all newsgroups
this week is "twinkie".
Who gives a **** that the company overpaid their top executives and
forced the company into bankruptcy. Just one less crooked company in
this country.

Hostess did NOT overpay their executives. The company DID try to promote
significant bonuses to keep the key players on the job during the
liquidation, but that idea was shot down by the bankruptcy judge.

So you're saying that the company clearly knew the game was over BEFORE
the union went on strike?

I would say they had a petty good idea, and were already scouting new
locations. Watch how quickly they rebound, with the load of heavy union pay
removed. Just how skilled a worker does it take to make a Twinkie with
automated equipment?
