I panic bought some Twinkies, it was a smart move

I'm gonna buy some too...and eat them while I watch the new Bond movie.

If Western civilization is going to crumble around us then we may as well enjoy the ride down as much as possible.

Life without zingers is going to be rough. I bought two packs out of the work vending machine for a moment of silence.

It's sad when hostess can't even survive the first salvo in the mathpocalypse. I was really hoping to stock up, those things last forever. Perhaps even longer than cockroaches.

Ignore the 18500 that just lost their jobs b/c they couldn't come to an agreement. Ya know you've argued too far when you close the company you work for

I believe it was only a subset of employees that were unionized and that drove the matter to this conclusion.

Yes, the bakers.

Can't machines do that now?

Maybe when Skynet takes over, it'll re-institute Twinkies. That'll soften the blow of the whole "kill off mankind" thing.

...or it could be the best news ever, depending on your viewpoint.

Somewhere there's somebody who has been stuffing their face with Twinkies and crying, but after this news they have a plausible excuse.

OTOH my buddy who works for Little Debbie is probably pretty happy right about now.
