Question: In light of the Hostess bankruptcy, what will replace the TWINKIES in the abandon ship bag?

Why replace??  If you haven't eaten them they should be good for another 3000 years!  Shocked Abduct

Fear not. the twinkie line will still be active as this will be the "reorganizing" style bankrupcy.

Don't count on it. This is Hostess SECOND Ch II.  They've lost money 30 of the last 37 quarters...their liabilities way exceed their assets, they haven't made any contributions to the unions pension funds since June and the unions aren't budging...saying they've already made all the concessions they're going to. 

So I'd stock up on Twinkies and Ding Dongs while you still can.

If it's from china, I am not buying it.
If twinkies made those things where they did not last a life time, you'd have to eat the old ones and replace them every once in a while, kind of like flares and fire extinguishers need to be replaced, or joker valves.
