  "Valley Hostess fans have their fingers crossed another company will carry on the legacy of the popular snacks."

  "Roy was at the Hostess store specifically for her 5 and 6-year-old daughters."

  Really? She was there specifically to get unhealthy junk food for two young children who are completely dependent on parents for nutrituion.

  Willie, there sure is a crime going on, but not the one you're referring to. ;)

  This should be a crime.
  A vulture capitalism company took over Hostess, tripled the CEO'S salary and doubled the salary of the other executives, loaded up the company with debt and demanded another 8% pay cut from workers and wanted them to pay 17% more for their health insurance.
  The company had NO INTENTION of remaining viable.
  They followed the Bain Capital model of vulture capitalism and are now going to sell off the patents for bazillions of dollars and the companies that buy them will pay way too much for them and will have to raise the prices so that they are a rich man's treat.
  Not for " you people " any more.
