Hostess is DEAD

Looks like people won't be able to buy Wonder bread anymore. It's one of the most popular bread brands in the Philly neighborhood where I grew up, probably because there was a Wonder bread bakery a few blocks from where I lived. Luckily, I eat Arnold bread.

Is it made in California?

Ha, why am I not surprised that Hostess makes Wonder bread? That shit is awful. Worst bread ever.

gas doubled

Gas currently costs me less per gallon than it did post-Katrina. Quit saying this cause it only makes you look like more of a dumbass. In 2010, it cost me half of what gas was costing during that same post-Katrina period.

Moto, blaming the unions is ignorant. I wish they were more common actually. They keep companies from underpaying people or cutting their benefits. The company didn't fall because of the union. They screwed themselves up the ass by making poor business decisions and continuing to give their higher ups lavish salaries. If the head of the company was trying to cut the salaries of the higher ups, instead of the workers, that would never fly. Now the company is trying to act like it was the union in the wrong? really?

For real. The union gave back tons in retirement benefits and took a pay cut...but the union should have basically agreed to work for free. Right.

And besides, Hostess will be purchased anytime now. There's way too much equity in that brand to just fall away.

I have no idea, I just know that it's so expensive I only buy it when it's on sale.

Hey dipshit...

November 2008...

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Gasoline prices declined for the 70th straight day, falling below the $1.87 per gallon mark, according to a national survey of credit card swipes at gasoline stations.

The national average fell 1.7 cents, sinking to the lowest level since Jan. 27, 2005, according to motorist group AAA. Over the last 70 days gas prices have plummeted 52%.

I read somewhere that the union contracts were so muddled and broken up, they had agreements that Wonder Bread had to be delivered by itself or only with certain other items. Meaning that the treats were a seperate delivery route/driver/truck than the bread. Even though many times the same store received both. Real union efficiency there huh?

wait... so you are telling me that gas prices finally dropped during the two months prior to an election? NO WAY! Doesn't have anything at all to do with that. What about the fact that when Bush came into office, gas hovered right at the dollar mark and quickly doubled, at one point, going up over four.
