DID YOU BUY DING DONGS AND TWINKIES LIKE THEY WERE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS???

 

We've got a couple updates on the fate of TWINKIES today. One of which will make you happy, and one of which will fill you with incomprehensible rage.

Because it's Friday, we'll go with the good news first.

The Good News: Twinkies are DEFINITELY Going To Live On. Yesterday, in bankruptcy court, Hostess announced there are 110 POTENTIAL BUYERS for its brands. That includes five major supermarket chains.

In other words, unless some company wins the bidding war for Twinkies just to shut them down forever, they WILL be back. A 110-company bidding war means someone's going to pay a LOT to make and sell Twinkies.

BUT CHECK THIS OUT!!!

The Twinkie Will Live On . . . But First, the Executives Who Killed It Want Their $1.8 Million Bonuses:


The Bad News: Executive Greed in Your Face. The top executives of Hostess WHO DECIDED TO DROP OUT OF NEGOTIATIONS 

. . in bankruptcy court, the 19 top executives still had the INSANE CAJONES to ask that any sale of the company include money to pay them their BONUSES for 2012. Those bonuses? About

$1.8 MILLION.

--Yep: They're fighting for their $1.8 million bonuses as their company's bankruptcy wiped out 18,000 jobs.
