Hostess to liquidate if Bakers’ strike continues through Thursday; end of Twinkies hours away? “The bakers’ union would rather have no job than reduced wages.” “…names and recipes will likely be sold and produced elsewhere, probably at a lower cost to consumers, especially if the buyer does not have to deal with the bakers’ union.” How do you say “Twinkie” in Chinese? Twinkie!
